Scavenge and Craft
Loot and craft as you explore. Lob a tasty sausage roll as a diversion, or poison a kebab for bait. Sneak up and knock a monster out with a whack from a cricket bat, or slice them up with a chainsaw. Tranquillize them with a dart fired from a homemade blowpipe, or set them alight with a DIY flamethrower. There's over a hundred useable items to loot or craft!
No Second Chances
Use stealth to sneak, weapons to attack, or if all else fails, run! But be very careful - one bite and you'll be ripped apart to become a tasty snack for monsters! Violence is your last resort. Sneaking, skullduggery, and ambush are your tactics.
What is Basingstoke?
Basingstoke is a town in England, renowned for its charming mix of hand crafted and procedurally generated features. Explore, above and below ground, and enjoy its many attractions. Rob a parking ticket machine, vandalise a keep left sign, go shopping at the OMNImart24/7... or if things get a bit much, hide in a wheelie bin.
Unlockable Characters
As you progress you'll unlock new characters. Start as a Tourist and capture those special moments with your selfie stick or splurge at the shops with your OmniBank GoldCard. Play as the Thief and use your Locksmith gadget to crack security panels and break safes. Each character has specialist equipment, unique crafting recipes... and hats!
Achievements and Trading Cards
The Royal Mint have issued a special commemorative set of Basingstoke themed coins to celebrate The Apocalypse. 1p, 2p, 10p, 20p and 50p coins can be yours, as well as an especially shiny pound coin. Collect them all, and a full range of achievements, trading cards, profile backgrounds and emoticons! Unfortunately we're not allowed to show you a picture in the store, you'll have to earn them by playing :)Welcome to Basingstoke!
Not being ones to rest on our increasingly squashed laurels, we have beavered away in the background for a while making the game a bit nicer for everyone.
We\'ve also changed the name to Welcome to Basingstoke as well, to help differentiate it a bit with the old google-search stuff. Who knows whether that\'ll work or not? Answers on a postcard please (found in the back of a disused office, behind a filing cabinet guarded by a dead policeman).
So what\'s in the update?
Loads new content, with a new ending
[/*]Lots of new features and general polish (and it\'s a tad easier)
[/*]A somewhat embarrassing number of bug fixes!
[/*]
New Levels
We\'ve redone a large part of the later stages of the game, and added a special new end level and sequence, to replace the previous endless-mode. You can now actually escape from Basingstoke... promise :)
Cross the ring road, dodging meteorites, and go ice skating at the Basingstoke Arena. Explore underground and discover the hidden lab. Find your way through the graveyard and on to the Nexus research facility. Can you make it all the way to the M3 motorway and the evac zone?
