Evotinction is an amazing looking, thought provoking stealth game, developed by an incredible talented new studio. Set in the near future, ‘Evotinction’ challenges the relationship between evolution and extinction. As AI, gene editing and quantum entanglement technologies rapidly develop, its potential threat grows as well.
Near Future.
A virus of unknown origin breached the network of an isolated, self-sustained research facility and community named HERE.
Inevitably, the core unit of the highly-advanced AI system that runs the facility got infected.
As a result, those harmless service robots went out of control and started to attack humans.
Dr. Liu, Head of R&D at HERE and one of the architects of the system, decided to go back into this lost facility to search for possible survivors while attempting to identify and fix the underlying issue.
A Fruitless Pursuit of Eternity. A Glimpse of Evolution and Extinction. A Solemn Song of Life.
Genre
A one-man infiltration into an AI-controlled rampart. Utilise the kaleidoscopic hacking skills the doctor masters to cope with adversaries. Disable the security system remotely, rewrite IFF IDs, or manipulate rogue AI’s behaviour…Do what you can to avoid any unnecessary encounters. Make your way in stealthily and neutralise all threats one by one. Go deep into the heart of the facility to face the core crisis!
Enemy
“Genie” – those everyday service robots will be your most common opponents. Each of those service robots has its routine patrol, and the AI system behind their behaviours also coordinates the efforts of those robots to maximise their efficiency. In addition, the doctor will encounter certain killer robots specially-engineered to neutralise any threats to the core system as he gets deeper into the facility.
Combat
Not your traditional protagonist, Dr. Liu, an ordinary researcher who had absolutely zero combat training, will have to infiltrate the facility on his own. Not a specialist in melee combat, nor a slick gunslinger, the doctor is just an average joe when it comes to “combat”. However, as a tech-savvy researcher, he is able to hack, disrupt, and manipulate all these rogue AIs to guide himself through this dangerous facility.
