Blackpowder Games has completed Betrayer, and the creepy black and white first person action game from the indie team of former Monolith Productions developers (F.E.A.R., No One Live Forever, Shogo: Mobile Armor Division).
The game's planned monochrome stylings appear to have loosened up a little during its stint on Steam Early Access as the launch trailer demonstrates the player's ability to customise the visual style to add a little or a lot more colour into the mix.
Betrayer washes you ashore in the New World in 1604, where you’re expecting to join a struggling English colony on the Virginia coast. Instead you find only ghosts and mysteries in a land drained of color and life. You’ll build up an arsenal of weaponry including muskets, crossbows and throwing axes, collecting untold treasures along the way. Chart your own course through an untamed wilderness teeming with danger and discovery as you search for survivors and unravel the colony’s many mysteries, including the identity of the strange, silent woman in red who helps from afar.
Check out the solumn launch trailer below, and head over to Steam where you can acquire the game for a few dollars off until April 1.
