Fight Monstrous Plant-Zombie Hybrids In This Upcoming Survival Horror

I never thought zombies could have become something related to being beautiful until seeing the demos and trailers from Indonesia developer Agate's new game Rootmare. The mixture of gorgeous flowers and plants with rotten parts in the monstrous plant-zombie hybrids creates that odd attraction that makes me want to learn more about this upcoming survival horror.

Inspired by classic horrors like Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Dead Space, Rootmare has been developed with Unreal Engine 5. In the setting, you are a model named Nate who got stranded on a remote tropical island, which is nothing about sunshine and beach. It used to be a haven for the entertainment business and beauty industry, but it has become the "center of a deadly biological incident." 

As you struggle to find a way out in this labyrinth-like area, some dark secrets behind the truth of COSMIC’s experiments, which form threats to the existence of humanity, start to appear. Fight the horrific creatures, unravel the mystery behind all these abnormalities, and find if there is anyone else surviving.

Here are the key features: 

• Compelling Story: Face the Outbreak's start and uncover the Beauty Company's dark secrets.
• Explore the Facility: Find hidden clues as you navigate different areas.
• Intense Survival Horror Gameplay: Fight or flee from Plant-Infested Creatures. Outsmart the monsters with your wits and resources.
• Resource Management: Make smart decisions, manage your inventory strategically, and search for supplies.

Team Agate joined on social media last August to bring updates for the WIP project. Through the shared demos, we can see how the game allows players to fuse backpack items and weapons to create impressive destruction. There are also zombies that bleed pink blood, which can bite you to death. They also showcase the game's melee combat, improved map, and gloomy atmosphere that is with rich plantation: 

Rootmare is still in development and doesn't have a release window yet. But if it piques your interest, don't hesitate to add it to your wishlist on Steam and follow the project on X/Twitter to stay updated.
