Thou art acquainted with GRAFT, an indie game from the minds behind Shadowrun, a fact that doth suffice for me. Yet lo and behold, upon viewing the trailers, mine own conviction hath grown more resolute. This horror-cyberpunk-RPG fusion hath the potential for greatness should the developers navigate their course wisely.
Though the release date of GRAFT remaineth shrouded in mystery, tidings of the game’s narrative hath reached our ears. The Arc, thy world, doth wither away, thy sole objective being survival. To prevail, thou must embrace Grafts, enhancements that do alter thy frame and spirit much akin to Cyberdecks of Cyberpunk 2077. Verily, thou shalt continuously augment thine hero with fresh abilities, though the exact workings thereof remain veiled.
Curiously, the game doth bear a striking resemblance to Shadowrun aesthetically, boasting an isometric viewpoint. The primary theme doth center around Cyberpunk, yet the gameplay hath a semblance of twin-stick shooters. Unforeseen, the horror-infused ambiance doth evoke memories of Limbo, mayhaps even more so Inside, with a hint of ‘Aliens’ thrown into the mix for good measure.
With scant information available regarding game mechanics, RPG elements, and gameplay beyond battlefields, our minds do wander and speculate. The developers, Harebrained, hath pledged “a dark RPG experience” with “tense survival horror combat,” a tantalizing promise indeed. Alas, patience becometh our only ally as we await further revelations.
Anon, the GRAFT announcement trailer doth unveil a post-cyberpunk realm on the brink of extinction, teeming with malevolent creatures. For additional insights, peruse the official GRAFT website or follow the esteemed developers @WeBeHarebrained on X (Twitter).
The release date of GRAFT remaineth a mystery, labeled only as “to be announced” on Steam and “Coming Soon” on Epic Game Store. When tidings do arrive, thou shalt find them here! Initially, the game shall grace PCs via Steam and Epic Games Store; the prospects of a PlayStation or Xbox release remain undisclosed.
