NVYVE Studios today announced that P.A.M.E.L.A., the first-person, open world, utopian, sci-fi, survival horror game, is available now on Steam Early Access. Awakening from the depths of cryosleep in the glimmering fallen utopia of Eden, P.A.M.E.L.A. challenges you to survive by exploring the remnants of the once great paradise.
The Afflicted, the maligned citizens of Eden driven mad by a horrific biological outbreak, stalk the vibrant streets and architecture of the game’s future idyll, a harrowing threat and a constant reminder that paradise must fall. It’s only through your survival and exploration of the city that you will uncover the tragedy of humanity’s craving for technological and biological advancement – a perpetual thirst for a brighter future.
Eden’s lone AI overseer, Pamela itself, will provide information on how to survive within the city while bestowing amplified abilities upon you. Wield future, modular technology, hack into the city’s still functioning power grid, and enhance your body with bio-augmentations.
This is all achieved through your holographic “AARM UI” system, the game’s seamless interface, which projects directly into the game world to heighten immersion and build tension during your battles against the harrowing, disfigured antagonists, The Afflicted. Defence is just as important as attack, made possible by the game’s freeform base-building system that enables you to build a personal safe haven amidst Eden’s hostile world.
I’m usually not super into the standard cookie-cutter survival games that seem to have replaced the retro platformer on Steam, but this on at least looks interesting. Not from look and style, (everything is Alien Isolation as of late) but it does seem to be trying to immerse the player more than most. It also looks to borrow from a lot of fantastic games, as opposed to just one.
P.A.M.E.L.A. is available on Steam Early Access for $24.99 USD
