Betrayer Creeps Its Way Onto Steam Early Access

Betrayer is a very interesting looking game, it’s also like an art experiment that you can tell from first glance is here to make you feel uneasy and will scare the crap out of you. The stark contrast of an almost all black and white world with flourishes of red really make the game feel like it has transported you back to the 1600’s where the game takes place. It’s the same as watching an old black and white movie, you instantly feel it is from a time period long ago.

The Betrayer is described as a first person action adventure game and so far seems to lean heavy on the adventure side of things. The whole colony you were sent to join has been wiped out and only their ghosts remain. The game does very minimal hand holding and looks to the player to take the initiative to set forth on a path all their own, not one preconceived by the games developers. Since the game is on Steam Early Access there can stil be rough edges but your feedback will help to make a better game as developer Blackpowder Games is actively seeking your input as a player. Considering they are also behind great games like the mech-tastic Shogo, funny No One Lives Forever and creepy ass F.E.A.R. I have high hopes this can be amazing. Head past the jump to check out the trailer and until August 21st 2013 you can pick it up for 10% off its regular price of $14.99.

PRESS RELASE

Blackpowder Games releases Betrayer for the PC as a Steam Early Access title

“We are excited to get feedback while there’s still time to react to it and make the game better,” said game designer Craig Hubbard. “There are only six of us, so being able to hear from gamers who are motivated to help us deliver the best possible experience while we’re still in active development will help us prioritize on the fixes and features that will have the biggest impact.”

Betrayer is an eerie first person action adventure game that takes you to the New World at the turn of the 17th century. The game focuses on exploring, unraveling mysteries, collecting loot to spend on better weaponry, and engaging in brutal combat against deadly enemies.

“We deliberately chose to make a game that doesn’t explain everything to you. You’ll find clues about what’s happening and what befell the colony, but it’ll be up to you to put the pieces together. It’s challenging to strike a balance where players are getting just the right amount of information. Too much and you can lose the sense of accomplishment. Too little and it can get frustrating. We’re hoping the community can help us with the fine tuning.”
