This piece provides insights into an upcoming experience that combines elements of horror, strategy, and survival in a uniquely dystopian setting. It delves into the atmosphere and inspirations behind a game that challenges players to navigate dangerous environments and uncover hidden terrors.
Anoxia Station is set to debut on PC next month. Many modern titles have leaned on the legacy of a renowned visionary of the latter 20th century, whose surreal style has notably influenced popular series like Alien and the eerie puzzle adventure Scorn, as well as other distinct entries in the gaming world. This particular project, shaped by the creative efforts of Yakov Butuzov and Daria Vodyanaya, reflects that same haunting inspiration.
The game casts players as the overseer of an underground mine in a dystopian version of 1988. In this environment, survival hinges on overcoming extreme conditions such as reduced oxygen levels, radiation exposure, and hazardous gas leaks. Players must also confront a host of mysterious entities and unsettling occurrences that dwell in the shadows.
Currently, the title is gearing up for its appearance on the PC platform. Publisher Abylight has confirmed a release date of May 9 and "has debuted an entirely new trailer that presents" glimpse into the gameplay experience. For those enticed by its premise, the game can be found on Steam, where it awaits addition to personal wishlists.
