Undead Chronicles FPS Goes Viral
The slow zombie FPS Undead Chronicles trailer went viral with 33,448 likes, emphasizing realistic horror gameplay without gimmicks. The game focuses on authentic zombie survival mechanics rather than fast-paced action typical of modern FPS titles.
- The game is being developed by Seyfhouse Games and is set in Istanbul in 1923 during the final days of the Allied occupation. The setting utilizes real locations from the 1920s, such as the Imperial Ottoman Bank and the Basilica Cistern, to create an alternate history where a plague collapses the city. - Gameplay will be a slow-burn, first-person survival horror experience with a focus on methodical gunplay and scarce ammunition. A single bite from the slow, relentless undead will result in the player's death. - The player character is RJ Edwards, a British banking official who has been sent to the Imperial Ottoman Bank for a promotion. - The game's zombies are not mutants and do not explode; they are depicted as hollowed-out versions of people, though some former soldiers will be faster and have quicker reactions. - In addition to combat, the game will feature environmental puzzles where players must carefully observe their surroundings to find keys and other solutions, rather than using tools like crowbars. - The available weapons are historically accurate for the period, including a pistol, a bolt-action rifle, and a lever-action shotgun. - Critics have drawn comparisons to the tense atmosphere of classic *Resident Evil* titles and the psychological horror of the *P.T.* demo. - *Undead Chronicles* is currently planned for a PC release via Steam, but a final release date has not yet been announced.
