Look out for Xenosis: Alien Infection, a top-down sci-fi adventure indie game, as it is now funded on Fig.
Xenosis: Alien Infection
NerdRage Studios is developing a retro-inspired, top-down sci-fi adventure game which they named Xenosis: Alien Infection. It focuses on a story-driven single-player immersive experience as it blends retro 2D pixel art with 3D environment settings. Not only that, it takes inspiration from games such as Aliens, Dead Space, and Event Horizon.
In Xenosis: Alien Infection, you are a deep space salvage hunter who finds the remnants of an abandoned starship that vanished almost five decades ago. As a salvage hunter, you have to retrieve valuable data core. As you progress in the game, you will discover what happened to the crew and must avoid it from happening to you, as well.
The game has surpassed its funding on Fig, a publishing platform very similar to Kickstarter, and it will release on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. However, the campaign is running until June 21, 2018. You may want to check their perks and more details regarding the game by clicking the link down below.
