The Victor Initiative is a first-person survival horror game in which you explore the halls of a government facility that was abandoned in the 60s in order to discover its secrets while evading the strange entities lurking within.
You've been tasked by a shady government agency to close a 'rift' hidden deep within an abandoned research facility located in North Wales. You get the feeling that you're not being told the whole truth. What horrors will you discover within?
In The Victor Initiative, you have no health bar, nobody to help you, and little information on what you'll encounter. All you know is that you must complete the mission. From a first person perspective, you'll make your way through the winding halls of The Initiative in a bid to survive to the next room. Each room will present a new threat, or a new puzzle that you need to solve in order to keep pushing through. You'll also find new tools as you delve deeper into the facility, which will be essential in dealing with new threats that get thrown at you. Will you be able to survive?
The Initiative was a mysterious government outpost that rarely communicated with the outside world, but 60 years ago, communication stopped completely. Now, you've been tasked to dive back into the nightmare. Inside The Initiative is a spiralling maze of horrors. Deranged ramblings adorn the walls, loose papers are strewn across the floor, and the terrifying threats that caused this ruin are still in there with you. This place has a story to tell. Will you listen?
The Victor Initiative also features live action cutscenes and collectables, fleshing out the world and immersing you further into the story. The game will also feature audio logs and documents which tie everything together, with some audio logs featuring special cameo appearances from people who you might know including Sam Lake, Inel Tomlinson, Samantha Béart & Dave Jones.
WARNING: THIS GAME FEATURES A HIGH VOLUME OF JUMPSCARES. THESE CAN BE MUTED IN SETTINGS BEFORE STARTING.
