The independent developer C3SK and publisher Devolver Digital have announced a new multiplayer survival horror thriller, Noct. It's set for release on the PC, Mac and Linux on October 22.
Noct is designed as a 2D top-down multiplayer survival horror game that looks a lot like the view you'd get from an AC-130 gunship. It blends arcade combat with RPG survival elements and puts players in the role of a survivor of the apocalyptic purge that formed the wasteland.
Players are tasked with exploring the wasteland alone or with other survivors they can run into online to uncover what happened, or even fight amongst themselves over food, ammo, and safety.
Your experience in this brave new world is viewed through a thermal image satellite system situated high above the Earth.
The grimdark looking game aptly features music from Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck and musician Worldclock, who score its evocative soundtrack. Fans can grab a free track from the 12-track soundtrack right now from the game's official website.
“I was invited into the world of Noct to compliment the established work of Wordclock, and to collaborate, bringing a spirited sense of melody and hope to an utterly devastated terrain, one enshrouded in despair and haunted by….creepy fucking monsters,” said Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck. “It has been a hair raising experience, cooperating to design the immersion of this audio trek. The team are each scrupulous creatures and together we enjoy turning over many stones."
The game will be playable at Twitchcon, which takes place this weekend in San Francisco prior to the game's launch later this year.
