Sci-fi horror adventure game with puzzle-solving and escape mechanics, set in a research facility overrun by sinister creatures
The Scourge Project: Episodes 1 and 2 is a first-person sci-fi horror adventure game developed and published by Anarchy Enterprises. Set in a mysterious research facility known as The Scourge, players take on the roles of an investigative journalist and engineer as they attempt to uncover the facility's dark secrets and survive the dangerous experiments within.
In Episode 1, players control Jennifer Barnes, a journalist investigating the disappearances of various individuals related to The Scourge. After sneaking inside, Jennifer finds the facility overrun by terrifying creatures apparently resulting from genetic experimentation gone wrong. Jennifer must explore the area, solve environmental puzzles, and evade or fend off monsters using whatever tools she can find. The episode culminates in a shocking conspiracy that sets the stage for Episode 2.
Episode 2 follows Raleigh Turner, an engineer called to The Scourge to repair the damaged generator. Upon arrival, Raleigh discovers what Jennifer learned earlier - that The Scourge houses dangerous secrets and experiments into advanced weaponry and technology. Raleigh is soon trapped inside and must follow Jennifer's path to uncover more information and eventually escape while avoiding vicious beasts and resolving tricky puzzles requiring mechanical ingenuity.
With an eerie atmosphere and sinister backstory slowly revealed through notes, recordings, and environs, The Scourge Project provides an immersive, suspenseful horror adventure experience. An emphasis on evasion and wit over combat offers a unique take on the survival horror genre. Episodes 1 and 2 will leave players shocked yet determined to uncover the whole truth behind The Scourge.
