The first rule of making an unforgettable horror game is no rules. As a developer it’s about going with your gut. He is a guiding principal at Striking Distance Studio. We serve hand-crafted fear of sweat, a mixture of excitement, barbarism, humanity and helplessness. We call it “horror engineering.”
When you first get lots of atmosphere and excitement in the trailer Callisto protocolWe wanted to put the game’s atrocities at the forefront and center of our release for Xbox gamers. Callisto protocol A story-based third-person sci-fi survival horror game set in Jupiter’s Dead Moon Callisto in 2230. The players play the role of Jacob Lee, a prisoner in the Black Iron Jail. Jacob has to fight a brutal battle to survive when a mysterious outbreak plunges the moon into chaos.
One of the first things you will notice Callisto protocol Are creatures. They are called biophases, and these things are strange. All of our animals started out as human beings who went through horrible, flesh-cut changes and now roam the halls of black iron. And we want to keep the players close and personal with these monsters. Callisto protocolIts combat mechanism is a combination of close quarter melee action, long range gunplay and a unique gravity gun called GRP (“Grip”) that allows players to move smoothly between the two.
The game’s combat system uses a stan baton that Jacob fired from a prison guard. Formerly used to suppress prisoners, the stick can beat the biophase as Jacob tries to prevent them from isolating him. Players can attack or block using the left stick while looking for an opening to split the skull on their opponent.
The game’s extensive combat will give players a selection of upgradeable weapons to extract biophases from a distance. Skilled players can open the animal’s arms, legs and even head – but there is no guarantee that this will prevent the biophase from invading. And since ammunition is scarce, players need to be tactical with their shooting.
And finally, GRP is a powerful weapon that allows players to grab and throw objects into the environment, including enemies. Attacked by a group of animals? Players can catch biophases with GRP and throw them across the room to get some breathing room. Less ammunition? The GRP can catch enemies and draw them in for blows. GRP gives players a strategic way to control the pace of action.
And of course, for some particularly brutal fun, players can expose biophases to environmental hazards such as rolling industrial fans, spiked walls and power generators. The terrible possibilities are endless.
We hope you like this first look Callisto protocol! We’ll have more to share with Xbox players in the weeks leading up to our launch on Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S after December 2nd of this year. You can now pre-order the game in the Microsoft Store on Xbox.
