Product Description

‘Play as a lone survivor in a believable insecure post-disaster world.’

One year after the Event, a worldwide cataclysmic event that wiped most of the human race, a man struggles for survival in a desolate city as he tries to reunite with his long lost wife and daughter.

In this believable post-apocalyptical tale, there are no supernatural threats, just an everyman who faces the permanent insecurity of a now decaying and hazardous world and humanity’s darkest inclinations. Will you hang on to your humanity and help strangers or are you ready to sacrifice others in order to survive?

 

Key Features

-          The dead city of Haventon, immersive and treacherous

Explore the destroyed, crumbling city across different atmospheric levels, climbing your way to safety.

Environments tell the story of the world as it stood before and of what happened to the city and its people.

-          Unpredictable encounters

Survivors will adopt different behaviors and adapt to your actions. Some are friendly and need assistance, some are scared and others are hostile and will use group tactics to take you down. Will you go out of your way and sacrifice your few precious resources to help those in need?

-          A unique intimidation-based combat gameplay

Combat is deadly and ammo is scarce. Players will have to use deception to deal with enemies. Cowards may bow down fast to the threat of an empty gun, but tough guys will put you to the test.

-          Stamina and resources management

Every effort has its cost. Manage your stamina skillfully to gain access to hidden paths and resources.

Look for resources and supplies scattered throughout the city: water, food, gas, medicine, tools, climbing gears, weapons and ammo… anything that you can salvage from the destroyed city could prove helpful in your quest.

WATCH DOGS

WATCH_DOGS

All it takes is the swipe of a finger. We connect with friends. We buy the latest gadgets and gear. We find out what’s happening in the world. But with that same simple swipe, we cast an increasingly expansive shadow. With each connection, we leave a digital trail that tracks our every move and milestone, our every like and dislike. And it’s not just people. Today, all major cities are networked. Urban infrastructures are monitored and controlled by complex operating systems.

In Watch_Dogs, this system is called the Central Operating System (ctOS) – and it controls almost every piece of the city’s technology and holds key information on all of the city’s residents.

You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and former thug, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now on the hunt for those who hurt your family, you'll be able to monitor and hack all who surround you by manipulating everything connected to the city’s network. Access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy…and more.

Anything connected to the city’s ctOS can become your weapon.
