About the Game

The NAGEN Project is an asymmetric 1 vs all horror for 2 to 6 players in which a team of hunters are trying to gather clues to figure out the specimen of the creature prowling in the forest. But beware, this same creature played by a player is actively trying to eliminate all hunters.

Playing as a creature hunter

Your job is simple : piece together both physical and visual evidences of the creature like scraps of its skin or its eyes color.

Do that by exploring the map using various tools like your trusty flashlight (don't lose it—it's really dark at night). Log every clue you find on one of the computers, piece together the puzzle, and survive long enough to uncover the correct specimen. One wrong guess and it could be the end for your team...

You'll find weapons to defend your allies and yourself—if you're lucky—and discover a variety of other useful gear to help you keep your distance while still completing your task. 

Stay sharp, stay alive, and remember... the creature is also hunting you.

Playing as the creature

As the Creature, you are the threat. Your goal : stop them before they discover too much about your kind.

Use your strength to strike hunters with powerful melee attacks. But strength alone won't cut it. Feed on wild life in order to use specialized abilities to track their position or enrage to become even more dangerous to anyone near you.

They think they’re hunting you.

Features

  • Online lobbies with up to 6 players with the creature under a player's control.

  • Proximity voice-chat.

  • The game is being developed on Unreal Engine 5.
