Being a 90s kid, I was raised on a steady diet of gruesome first-person-shooters like Doom, Quake, Hexen and Rise of the Triad. They offered fast-paced gameplay, ugly enemies you couldn’t wait to take out and more gore than anyone needs to see in their lifetime.
A new era of tech events has begun
We’re back in New York this November for the 4th edition of our growth-focused technology event.
If you’re hankering for another fix all these years later, you’re in luck: New Blood Interactive is working on Dusk, a retro FPS title that blends the best of our beloved 90s shooters with a twisted horror-movie style setting. It features an art style reminiscent of 3D games from that era, pixelated blood, gibs and all.
The game will see players wake up hanging from a meat hook in a barn somewhere in the backwoods of the American Northeast. You’ll be able to use a variety of classic weapons – like dual shotguns, saw blades and grenade launchers – as you slash and blast your way through to safety.
Dusk promises a campaign mode with three distinct episodes, as well as 1-on-1 multiplayer and even co-op gameplay. It even has a soundtrack composed by Andrew Hulshult, who worked on Rise of the Triad. I can’t wait for this to become available next year.
