Dear C.R.O.N.U.S. Employees, We are happy to announce that Encased has been nominated for the Best Role Playing Game Award at this years gamescom! If you want to check out the full list of Award Nominations, youll find it here: https://www.gamescom.global/the-gamescom/gamescom-award/ And dont forget to vote for Encased as the most anticipated game of Gamescom 2021! https://www.surveymonkey.de/r/gamescomawardconsumerawards ------------------ When a number of media outlets previewed Encased last month, we noticed that very few explored the more unique playstyles Encased has to offer. To find out why that was, we spoke with Dr. Rachel Kowert, who said: Our in-game avatars are often a means of experimenting with many possible selves, either as we are our actual self or an idealized version of ourselves. The characters we create in-game are very often closely related to who we are out of game. Theres also a personal development aspect to this too. Research at Stanford University's Virtual Human Interaction Lab found players who were helpful to NPCs in a video game were then more helpful to others in real life too. Its called the Proteus effect and yes playing video games can make you a better person; other studies have produced similar results. There is an entire field of research looking at how digital role play in video games can impact how we think and behave out of game. For example, seeing a digital version of ourselves being successful in these spaces can become a catalyst for changing thoughts and beliefs we have about ourselves. Here you can watch our new trailer showing off some of the more unusual ways you can play Encased: [previewyoutube=sGwZsKd8LAo;full][/previewyoutube] Setting your intelligence as low as possible Not talking to anyone and being permanently in the shadows Being a pacifist and only using non-lethal weapons Acting like a serial killer And if you want to learn more about Encased and the psychology behind how we play video games, take a look at this Interview between Gamereactor and Dr. Rachel Kowert here. Remember: Encased comes out 7 September! Only two more weeks to go!

Encased Linux Depot [20.58 G]
Linux is not in the OS list.
Enrolling in one of the five wings of the CRONUS Corporation - each with its own features, mechanics and game options - and embark on a one way trip inside the Dome in the quest for unique artifacts as you avoid radiation, anomalies and a whole host of creatures out to do you harm.
You may start as an ordinary company employee but you will eventually become the driving force behind the narrative that takes place before, during, and after the disaster known as ‘The Incident’.
Crafting, combat, negotiation; you’re going to need all your wits about you if you want to survive.
Once you’re familiar with the basics, you are thrust into an open world filled with riches and danger. The old ways are gone – ground into dust by the powerful Maelstrom – and rising from the ashes are six powerful factions, vying for control over the ravaged landscape under the Dome. Will they be allies or enemies? That choice – and the future of the Dome – is in your hands.
Not everyone under the Dome is your friend; quite the reverse in fact. If you’re a smart likeable character (with a high charisma rating) you might be able to talk your way out of things. But more likely it’s time for a bit of ultra-violence. And that means weapons; lots of weapons. And there’s no shortage of choice: from high tech beam weapons through to a solid right hook, there’s loads of way to bring down a hostile group of foes. Of course, you can be a pacifist and use non-lethal force but that’s a story for another day…
The hostile and unforgiving world can be a lonely place; so why not team up with some like-minded individuals and face the challenges together. From hardened criminals built like mountains or scientists with a shady past, there’s a host of different potential companions to journey with, each replete with their own unique personality and skills.
Or you can just go “Lone Wolf” and face everything alone; it’s not an easy road but you can play this way too if you so wish.
Encased is full of choices: from what sort of character you will be, what wing you will join and how honourable a person you are. What equipment do you take? How will you fight? Do you craft better weapons or armour?
And it doesn’t stop there. You will hold lives in the balance and will have to choose who survives and who perishes.
And every decision you make will impact the story and your gaming experience. Well, no one said surviving Armageddon was going to be easy…
