INDUSTRIA 2 - A Cautionary Tale Of AI Progression In A Parallel Dimension
It was inevitable that there would be a sequel, and in the imaginatively titled INDUSTRIA 2, we return to a parallel dimension. This time, it is with Nora, who is unable to return to her home dimension, 1989 East Berlin.
May this be a cautionary tale of AI as Nora finds herself pulled back into the pulsating heart of ATLAS? Uh-oh. According to the store page, it sounds like another first-person adventure—albeit ‘survival horror’—courtesy of the original combo Bleakmill and Headup.
Key features in INDUSTRIA 2 include:
- Immersive, slow paced gameplay: Physics-based interaction, crafting and a diegetic inventory ground the gameplay in the game environments
- A hero’s journey: A narrative FPS to its core, where you’ll meet memorable characters and progress through a touching story
- Unique setting: Industrial decay in a vast boreal nature meets otherworldly sprawling machine structures
- Upgradable weapons: Upgrade five weapons with various attachments like silencers, extended magazines or special attacks
- Robot body horror: Vivid machine oil spilling and body dismemberment lead to intense firefights
- Compact Indie Experience: A 4-6 hour long filler free journey made by a passionate small indie team
- Cinematic audio: Full voiceover, dynamic music and detailed sound design are merged together by real-time audio reflection through Wwise
- Next-gen visuals: Carefully crafted assets are empowered by Unreal Engine 5’s fully dynamic lighting engine Lumen
