Cosmic Horror and Survival in Waste The Fallen
South Korean studio RoyalCrow has announced its new project, Waste The Fallen – a horror shooter that immerses players in a world steeped in cosmic horror and the dark influence of H.P. Lovecraft. The action takes place in a sinister zone called the "Abyss," where players will face off against the nightmarish "Fallen."
Unique Mechanic: Risk Determines Reward
The gameplay follows the classic formula of extraction shooters, but with an interesting twist. The value of your loot increases the longer you spend in a session. This creates constant psychological pressure:
How long can you risk it before losing everything?
Preparation, Base, and Progression
The game is not limited to just expeditions. Outside of them, you will be able to:
- Craft weapons at specialized workstations.
- Develop your own shelter.
- Search for rare blueprints for new technologies.
Forgiveness in the Genre: Fewer Losses, More Adrenaline
The developers want to make the game accessible without losing its challenging nature. By introducing a secure container, a portion of your gear will remain intact even after death, which prevents complete discouragement during a failed raid.
We look forward to the first real impressions during the closed alpha version, which is taking place between September 4th and 8th. Waste The Fallen will be available on Steam, and fans of the genre should definitely keep an eye on it.
