SurvHive is an upcoming multiplayer shooter with a twist: Your squad members may actually be bloodthirsty aliens in disguise. So you won’t be able to tell friend or foe.
Does that sound familiar? If it does, it’s because SurvHive was strongly inspired by The Thing, with Alien and Pandorum also being key influences.
The infestation beings when SurvHive comes to Steam Early Access next month.
Synopsis:
Strongly inspired by The Thing, Alien, Pandorum, and other dark science-fiction references, SurvHive is an asymmetric multiplayer sci-fi horror FPS that includes RPG elements.
Pick your career among Scientist, Engineer, Cultist, or Soldier; and try to survive as long as you can… Don’t trust anyone because a former friend might have been contaminated when you were not looking…
Key features:
- Try to find out who the aliens are. Stay away from them.
- Alien players must contaminate the crew using a stealth, shape-shifted approach, or through fully unleashed aggressivity.
- Alien players can mutate to gain new powers, such as wall/roof climbing.
- Watch your sanity level. Panting while you’re hidden in the dark is rarely a good idea.
- Meet with everyone in a room to pass a blood test, defend key areas, extinguish fires, and more.
- Accomplish secret objectives; be a traitor.
- Hack systems.
- Deploy sentry guns.
- Conduct scientific research.
- Engineer items: Cloaking device, Flamethrower, Extinguisher, Assault Rifle, Radio, and more.
- Try to escape. There is only one escape shuttle.
