Open World Survival Horror Title ‘Vorax’ Enters Early Access on Steam on July 18th [Trailer]

Published

After showing off the gory goodies over the past year, the long road to release for IndieGala’s Survival Horror game Vorax is almost over. Coinciding with a new teaser trailer that encapsulates what you’ll expect in the game, Vorax will enter Early Access on Steam on July 18th.

“The journey to this point has been one of relentless effort, passion and dedication,” reads the latest news update from IndieGala. “Over the past three years, our team has poured blood, sweat, and tears into finding the perfect balance between survival and horror mechanics. We hope we have succeeded, we will submit to your judgment and we will always try to improve during Early Access.”

The developers also took the opportunity to lay out just what to expect in Early Access for Vorax, which will remain in the service for “at least a year.” Coupled with community feedback, the team plans on adding “tons of new content over the next year” for the game, aiming to create “the best survival horror experience out there.” Some of that new content is as follows:

  • First-person surveillance drone and kamikaze drone mechanics, which can be found in the game or crafted
  • Flamethrower and fire-spreading weapons mechanics, with fire being spread onto enemies and objects
  • Lighting mechanics that allow players to stun/blind photosensitive enemies
  • New vehicles with emphasis on military ones
  • New secondary bosses
  • New monsters, new puzzles, and new NPCs

Vorax is set on a Mediterranean island that’s been besieged by a mysterious pathogen that’s turned the local populace into horrifying monsters. An army battalion sent to quarantine the population has predictably lost all communication. As a merc sent to investigate, your helicopter crashes on the island, stranding you with low supplies. You’ll need to craft tools, build barricades, fences, and traps as well as find, upgrade, and maintain your shelter to survive while trying to discover the origins of the virus.

‘Resident Evil’ Cast Reunite With Rebecca Chambers’ Actress [Watch]

Published

on

Director Andrew Saullo has just dropped the second Resident Evil cast reunion. And this time, Charlie KraslavskyGreg Smith and Eric Pirius (who played Chris Redfield, Barry Burton and Albert Wesker, respectively) are joined by the surprise addition of Rebecca Chambers’ actress, known as Linda! The quartet were joined by Saullo, as well as Residence of Evil founder JJ Trulock to discuss (what else?) their experience with Resident Evil, as well as some behind-the-scenes info on the shoot for the cutscenes.

Regarding the shoot for the cutscenes, Linda said that the experience “left a really big impact” on her at the time. “It was a big day. It was a wild shoot and it was very different than anything else that I had been doing in Japan at the time when I was modelling.” Still, Linda did remember her fellow actors, though she admitted that they all “looked a little bit different” at the time, including herself. “I remember for the shoot, I actually had blonde hair, and they spray painted my hair that morning so I would look more like Rebecca.”

As for her knowledge of Resident Evil, Linda admitted that she’s still learning about the series and her character. “I didn’t know a lot about the job, or that anyone was looking for [me] up until probably about four years ago, where someone reached out to me and they found me. But even then, I didn’t understand the magnitude of the entire situation. Only now I’m realizing like wow, there’s maybe someone out there that you know it’s like ‘Wow, that’s Rebecca Chambers!’. So it’s new to me, and I’m kind of just going with it.”

The interview (which you can check out below) also includes a special announcement of a four-part fan-made web series, which will be directed by Andrew Saullo (who also directed the fan-made short The Keeper’s Diary, in case you missed it). All four of the actors will be reprising their roles in the web series. It will not be an official Resident Evil series (for copyright reasons). Crowdfunding for the project will be launched “soon”.
