FULL STORY ======================================================================

Immersive sci-fi sim Core Decay has received a brand new trailer, showing off a range of different playstyles that are quite reminiscent of Deus Ex and System Shock .

In the tradition of the best RPGs , Core Decay lets you solve problems via stealth, social skills, or old-fashioned violence. The trailer shows off an escape from an enclosed facility, where the main character must get to a manager's office to flip a switch.

Despite the games 'old-school' graphics, the violent approach exhibits a pleasing gauntlet of gunplay, alongside a rich sound design and
punchy-looking weapons. The trailer also shows off a diplomatic route, where the main character uses conversational skills to convince a factory worker to part with the code to the office.

Last, but not least, the preview trailer also gives us a look at some of Core Decay 's stealth mechanics. Charmingly reminiscent of classic open-ended sci-fi RPG Deus Ex, we see the protagonist stack crates and boxes to create a new route around patrolling enemies, shortly after sneakily bludgeoning a guard to death with a crowbar - a display that would make even Gordon Freeman proud.

Sharing some of its DNA with CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 , Core Decay takes place in a dystopian sci-fi future where you play as a cybernetically enhanced human. The title is set in 2089, in a future where, according to the game's Steam page , humanity is teetering "on the brink of an ecological collapse."

Core Decay has you follow the trail of a conspiracy that aims to allow humanity to weather this calamity, but only by using a method that "means sacrificing all it means to be alive."

Following in the footsteps of the best story games , it looks as though Core Decay will wrestle with heavy themes of identity, individuality, and transhumanism - a real treat for those who enjoy hard-hitting immersive sims like Deus Ex and System Shock .

Core Decay is set to release on PC, though we don't yet have a launch window.
