World
The world is decaying, harsh and cold. The echoes of nuclear winter can still be heard.
Civilization was at the peak of its development, people conquered the solar system, colonized its planets and satellites. But several large-scale man-made disasters and global wars in a row have plunged the earth into agony.
Now the remnants of humanity are forced to lead a hard life on the scraps of surviving land among the ruins of the old world.
You are a lone wanderer walking through an endless wasteland. Your goal is unclear, but your intentions are firm. You decide to challenge the harsh wasteland and embark on a dangerous journey.
Gameplay
Apocalyptic Vibes is an immersive first-person shooter with a non-linear story.
Combat and Weapons:
Rest assured that there are quite a few people in the wild wasteland who want to kill you.
You have four main weapon types: a knife, a revolver, and two big guns of your choice. Machine guns, carbines, shotguns, rifles, etc. It remains only to get ammunition and use the weapon for its intended purpose.
Each weapon is specific and has its own tricks in handling. So, for example, by pressing a key, you can draw a revolver, fire a double shot from a shotgun, or use a bayonet.
You are only a man and your enemies are merciless, it only takes a few shots to kill you. Only by learning how to control your arsenal will you be able to decline decently in combat.
Weather:
You can freely move between levels within each chapter.
You will inevitably face harsh post-apocalyptic weather: toxic rain, storms, fogs and optical phenomena.
Special equipment and the ability to use what little the wasteland has to offer will help you survive. A balaclava will protect you from toxic rain, a gas mask will protect you from poisonous fog, and navigation poles with a radio receiver will help you not get lost and give you the opportunity to check the weather forecast to stock up on filters and the necessary resources in advance.
It’s also a good idea to always have a supply of provisions and medicine in your inventory. Health does not restore itself.
Equipment and resources will have to be found locally, recovered from enemies, or exchanged through barter.
Dialogues and Radio:
Communication and branching dialogues with characters are also part of the game and the story.
Communication can also take place via radio. So you can arrange with the character in advance, get a remote task or just chat while the toxic rain falls outside the window.
Browse through the frequencies to find different news and art such as music, pictures or videos.
Style
The game is powered by GZDoom, a modern port of the classic Doom engine.
The style of the game is “retrorealism”. Photo-textures and realistic sound are combined with classic elements of level architecture and sprite graphics.
