Paradark Studio announced their new title ExeKiller about a year ago and they recently released brand new gameplay footage showcasing what has been baking in the oven all this time. Thankfully, this title looks like quite the meal and will give first-person, action-adventure fans a big reason to wishlist this bad boy on Steam. Check out the gameplay trailer above for yourself.

“ExeKiller is a first-person action-adventure game with a multi-choice story. The game’s plot is set in a dystopian alternate reality world, in which a decimated humanity struggles to cope with the effects of a massive catastrophe that destroyed the Earth, turning it into a scorched desert.

The player takes on the role of Denzel Fenix, the eponymous Exekiller – a bounty hunter in the service of Helion, the ubiquitous corporation headquartered in a massive structure towering over the ruins of New York. In the course of the game, Denzel discovers the truth about himself, and this revelation puts him in the sights of several powerful factions. From this point, a dangerous and difficult game of survival begins. And it is only up to the player to decide how Exekiller plays out this battle.

The game world consists of a semi-open environment with a central hub, many smaller locations with long distances between them and environmental hazards such as unexpected enemies or dangerous weather. The gameplay is primarily designed around the principle of “choice”. While completing quests, the player will never be limited to one path or solution for every problem encountered. The decisions made by the player will clearly affect the attitude of NPCs, dialogues and possible endings, making each playthrough unique.”

ExeKiller sounds very ambitious and it seems like players will have a lot of freedom in the western sandbox. The game is also taking a different approach to character progression by throwing out XP and leveling system out the window. Instead, it is replaced with giving the player the freedom to choose different mods, augments, and other tech to improve themselves along their journey.

ExeKiller is currently in development for PC via Steam and is available to wishlist.
