Xenosis: Alien Infection

You are a deep space salvage hunter who discovers the remains of the Starship Carpathian, thought to have been destroyed on a deep space mission nearly 50 years ago.

You’ve hit the jackpot. The data core housed in the ship’s AI will be worth a lifetime of credits on the Black Market, so you dock with the ship to retrieve it. The ship appears to be empty. There are no detectable life signs, and besides, surely nothing could still be alive after so many years?

Xenosis: Alien Infection is a retro-inspired, top down sci-fi adventure / survival game, with a focus on a story-driven single-player experience. Blending retro 2D pixel art, with 3D modern lighting, dynamic shadows and 3D positional audio to create a truly unique and immersive experience.

• Deep story driven content. Learn the secrets of the Carpathian, its crew and what happened on its fated mission 50 years ago. A deep story line, rich with detailed characters provide the games narrative

• Awesome top down retro pixel art. Utilising modern 3D dynamic lighting and shadowing that bring 3D depth, not seen in a top down 2D game before

• Manage your resources. The Carpathians environment is harzardous, you will need to maintain a supply of oxygen and prevent your suit from damage and tears, otherwise your journey will end quickly. Battle not only enemies, but the hazards of the environment, extreme temperatures, radiation, toxins and the vacuum of space

• Craft to survive. Scavenge what you can from ship and use it to craft supplies, ammo and upgrades for your weapons and environmental suit. Over 64 schematics to find and use at your disposal, with many more planned

• Exciting and tense combat with advanced AI. With an advanced enemy AI against you that can intelligently huny and track you, use tactics to overcome your enemies. With over 15 weapon types and deployable items at your disposal, you have unlimited tactical options

• Take the stealthy approach. Sometimes all out gunfights aren’t the way, use stealth with dynamic light and shadow system to bypass obstacles and enemies

• A whole starship to explore. This isn’t some lifeless procedural generated ship, it’s a hand crafted starship with multiple themed decks to explore and hidden secrets to discover

• 3D positional audio and a dynamically adjusting soundtrack. Using the latest in audio design techniques, creates an unparalleled level of immersion

• Native support for keyboard and mouse, along with all popular controllers (Xbox 360, Xbox One, Dualshock 3, 4) with many other 3rd party controllers supported too

• Localised in many languages. The game was designed and built with localisation of all text and graphics from the start, and many languages are going to be included (dependent on funding level achieved)

• Achievements, plenty of platform specific features on release, such as steam trading cards and Xbox and PS4 achievements.
