Chris InglisPolish independent developer Paradark Studio has just released the first gameplay trailer for their upcoming first-person action-adventure game, ExeKiller. This new footage features a compact mix of western-style combat, exploring a detailed location, and driving a car, all while showing off the power of Unreal Engine 5. The game is in development and is coming to PC and new-gen consoles.
ExeKiller is a first-person action-adventure game with a multi-choice story. The game’s plot is set in a dystopian alternate reality world in which a decimated humanity struggles to cope with the effects of a massive catastrophe that destroyed the Earth, turning it into a scorched desert. The player takes on the role of Denzel Fenix, the eponymous exekiller. A bounty hunter in the service of Helion, the ubiquitous corporation headquartered in a massive structure towering over the ruins of New York.
In the course of the game, Denzel discovers the truth about himself, and this revelation puts him in the sights of several powerful factions. From this point, a dangerous and difficult game of survival begins. And it is only up to the player to decide how Exekiller plays out this battle.
The game world consists of a semi-open environment with a central hub, many smaller locations with long distances between them and environmental hazards such as unexpected enemies or dangerous weather. The gameplay is primarily designed around the principle of “choice”. While completing quests, the player will never be limited to one path or solution for every problem encountered. The decisions made by the player will clearly affect the attitude of NPCs, dialogues and possible endings, making each playthrough unique.
ExeKiller is Paradark Studio’s debut game, scheduled for release on PC and next-gen consoles in 2024 and you can wishlist the game on Steam.
