Punitive gameplay: With no cover, no healing and permadeath, players always have tough choices to make and each decision comes with a sacrifice, of resources, or in blood!
Striking art style: Using only black, white and some touches of vivid red, Othercide invites players to dive into an ethereal horror dimension between conscious and unconscious.
Replayability: Survive, protect your ground and defend reality, your task won't be easy, as players' will face ruthless creatures that constantly try to push through breaches into our reality.
