aBOUT THE PROJECT
SINSTRUCK is a first-person cooperative survival horror game for PC, built in Unity with a low-poly, PS1-era look that leans on nostalgia. There is no monster and no chase. As Earth dies from global warming, humanity has no choice but to evacuate. S.E.E, a military space agency, has sent you and your crew to explore a vessel that could replace Earth: Gaia.
Little do you and your crew know… she’s watching you, and she doesn’t want you there.
Our DunDev build is a two player vertical slice covering one day of survival on Gaia, from the five days we have designed. You will meet basic survival needs, including building a fire and a shelter. Beyond DunDev, we plan to expand the slice with an introduction scene where the crew land in their spaceship, and an ending scene where they meet Gaia and are judged by her, giving us a clean vertical slice ready for release. The full game will support 2-4 players on Steam.
