Game Overview
The Corruption is an atmospheric single-player first-person shooter that mixes grenade-launcher combat against digital zombies with some exploration, horror chase, puzzling and platforming. Become an uncompliant process and fight off the corrupted digital zombies that haunt the crumbling halls of a dying digital world.
- Explore: It was meant to be a digital utopia away from the external world, but generations of updates have corrupted its inhabitants and devolved the environment. Uncover what remains through the messages left for you by those few processes that still survive in the phone lines, while exploring surreal spaces inspired by backrooms, vaporwave, neo-classical architecture and De Chirico. Includes secret areas and four endings if you like going off the beaten track.
- Destroy: As you try to navigate your way to the exit, the surreal calm will be broken fast-paced combat against quickly moving zealots and tanky partisans. Terminate these digital zombies with traps, the Process Termination Grenade Launcher, and well-timed cascading explosions that rip through corrupted structures. But be aware, sometimes the fates may take away your Process Termination Grenade Launcher, leaving you with only to your wits to escape.
- Ascend: They said it was supposed to be a digital sanctuary. They said it was supposed to be an escape from the external world. They said that it couldn’t devolve. Is it even possible to escape?
When will this digital utopia end?
