THE BASICS

In the past month, I added three significant quality-of-life features to RSOD:

• Saving and loading
• Options menu
• Radar minimap

It's no coincidence that I received this comment in a survey: [quote]Have the possibility to change the controls for the qwerty keyboard.[/quote] Well, anonymous playtester, check it out:
Note that the game starts with default keybindings based on your keyboard layout, so if you have an AZERTY keyboard you will automatically have ZQSD rather than WASD, and this is reflected in the options menu.

HIATUS

A typical FPS has more than 50 maps. RSOD currently has 8, so let's call it 16% complete. At this rate, the game will be finished in early 2034. I intended the game's story to be a loud warning to Big Tech, but at present the experience feels a bit generic. Steam can't tell it apart from one of those glitchy Unity games with 1000 zombies that let you move around after you're dead (not as a zombie). For these reasons, I am putting the game on hiatus until it organically gets more wishlists. The engine may still get updates as I prototype a dark fantasy game.

Your career as a security researcher ended abruptly when Big State moved onto the island. With no job and no way out, your path is to rain glorious comeuppance with firearms, explosives, and a little cyber-infiltration.

Combat

Get aggro in wide-open areas swarming with enemies, or break into living quarters and workplaces to give your victims a fun surprise. Blow your ammo and switch to classic melee weapons, and when that fails, use your cyber skills to pull off feats on the edge of human comprehension.

Exploration

Dive into a world full of conspiracies and corruption. Discover nonsensical architecture and impossible pieces of engineering. Read deranged writings in text files and on walls. The island is isolated in a world much like our own, but crazier, filthier, and more broken.

Real Hacking

The engine is built from the ground up to be reverse-engineered and modded. Is a mission too hard? You can tweak it. Does that parking lot look a little plain? You can add new assets in a reasonable amount of time.
