11 bit Studios has announced a new title with a distinctive visual style.
There’s very little that we know about this title. Frostpunk is a game about humans surviving on a frozen world. To do so, humanity started using steam-powered technology. Technically it does sound a lot like This War of Mine but with a different setting. You’ll have to manage resources, plan your actions and quickly find ways to solve problems.
Developers also mention a “distinctive visual style“. There’s a nice CGI-teaser to illustrate the title, but no screenshots.
This is a deeply serious game created for a mature gamer. Looking back at This War of Mine, we’re pushing boundaries even further, but we’re not pointing at reality in the same fashion. We’re putting human nature under a microscope to ask about what happens when people need to stay alive.
