DERELIKT launches November 13 for PC, later for PS5 and Xbox Series
Retro science-fiction horror first-person shooter dated.
Narrative retro science-fiction horror first-person shooter DERELIKT will launch for PC via Steam on November 13, followed by PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series at a later date, publisher Hyperstrange and developer Visuwyg announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
DERELIKT is a narrative retro first-person shooter built for fans of claustrophobic PlaySation-era science-fiction horror. Set in orbit around Saturn, DERELIKT drops you into a place where something much older than nostalgia for classic science-fiction horror is waking up… and it is far more ominous. DERELIKT is launching later this year and has been a passion project from developer Visuwyg.
Inspired by the mood and structure of System Shock 2, Alien Resurrection, and DOOM 3, DERELIKT leans into the dread of being under-equipped, out of your depth, and very far from help. The game is set in Von Neumann Outpost, a remote research station built into a derelict asteroid in Saturn’s orbit. Now its halls are dark, its systems are failing, and the few survivors left inside aren’t telling the same story.
Explore the outpost’s secrets, its corridors, labs and crew quarters. Search for supplies, solve environmental puzzles, and unlock new routes through a station that grows more dangerous the deeper you go. There are also over a dozen NPCs remain aboard the station, each with their own agenda and version of what happened. Some know more than they should. Some may be useful, dangerous, doomed, or all three.
Combat is tense and satisfying with an arsenal of traditional and alien weapons. Ammo, health, and inventory space matter, and every shot has a cost. This isn’t a power fantasy corridor shooter. It’s unnerving, strange, and hostile.
Key Features
- Old School Survival Horror – Inspired by the likes of Alien: Resurrection, System Shock 2, and DOOM 3. In DERELIKT, you’re under-equipped, out of your depth, and very far from help.
- Retro Visuals, Tense Atmosphere – Built for fans of claustrophobic PlayStation-era science-fiction, DERELIKT keeps the retro feel while bringing modern controls and quality of life upgrades.
- Make Every Shot Count – Tense combat featuring a wide range of weapons, both alien and traditional. Survival is anything but guaranteed in this strange, hostile setting.
- Trust Me, Not Thee – Interact with over a dozen NPCs, each with their own secrets, agendas, and vibes. Some may be useful, dangerous, doomed, or a combination of all three!
- A Love Letter to Late 90s Horror Games – DERELIKT embraces early 3D horror: warped geometry, heavy atmosphere, and a sense of unease. With a faithful recreation of PlayStation-era aesthetics, from affine texture warping and dynamic subdivision to hand-painted vertex color and full-motion CGI cutscenes.
