Developed by Malformation Games and published by Kwalee, this is a game that proudly wears its inspiration on its sleeve, evoking the PS1 era of Resident Evil while layering in unique mechanics and a distinctive setting. Set in post-apocalyptic South Korea, it brings together fixed camera angles, pre-rendered backgrounds, and tense combat in a package that feels both nostalgic and fresh. We had the chance to see the game at Gamescom, and it left a strong impression. Continue reading “Ground Zero preview (Gamescom)”
