    World War III is over, the world's infested with mutants and your supplies are running out. Fight your way down this damned hotel, from your penthouse on top to the first floor. Craft weapons, search for food and reach the exit. Otherwise you'll be torn apart, starve to death or maybe both...

    [​IMG]

    World War III was one cruel tragedy, at least for the others. You seemed to have a quite nice time, hidden in your fancy penthouse at the Skyhill Hotel... Till the impact of a bio-weapon blew away the life you once knew.

    Now there are mutants everywhere, and they're eager to rip you to shreds with their vicious claws. But they aren't your only problem: Your supplies are running out. You have to leave your luxurious penthouse and search for food. Walking through the skyscraper means going through hell. There is danger around every corner and death is a steady companion. But seriously, how would someone prepare for something like this?
    It doesn't matter anymore. Nothing matters but survival. And time is running out.

    FEATURES:

    - Roguelike RPG gameplay in an apocalyptic survival setting
    - Feels fresh every session – randomly generated maps
    - Gain experience, craft weapons and look for useful objects
    - Face an army of nightmarish creatures
    - Go for the head or land a body shot – but choose wisely

    - Difficulty levels give you the chance to actually survive this, or try to outlast this hell under the worst conditions
    - Open end – is there still hope? Come and find out!

    Not really. We try to make the atmosphere not so "horror", but more "melancholic", center the attention on the loneliness of the main protagonist.

    This looks potentially great, I like the modern setting. The plot seems vague, I get the melancholy which is nice but... is this guy rogueliking through his own despair or is there some external threat? Is it more casual exploration, or plot based? Is it designed to occur entirely in this posh hotel, or will there be exterior segments?

    First of all, awesome my-type of game that I have been waiting for. Second, will there be a beta test for IOS platforms? Third, when will the demo be put up? Fourth, is it compatible with ipod touch 3gn(32gb or above)? Fifth, will it be a freemium game(because it looks like one)? Last but not lest, will there be multiplayer(because it looks like it can support multiplayer)? P.S. I am not kidding about that it is awesome my-type of game:)

    Thx all of you.

    The game takes place inside the 100-floor hotel, the main goal is to get to the 1st floor and out of the building and trying to reach the other survivors. So there is no exteriors, because we kinda limited with resourses T_T

    We trying to make a good story, but it will not be imposed on the player. Plot can be followed through the torn pages, newspapers and letters, which can be found during the explorations. These records are some kind of collectable items. You can find any of this one time and this stuff will be available even if you start new walkthrough.
    Food mechanic is very simple. Hero spends "food" regularly while his travels ("hunger"). Also food will help you to heal yourself while you sleeping in bed at hero base. As soon as medkits, firearms and ammo are unusual stuff for the hotel, the chance to find them is pretty low. So yeah, maybe kinda like this.
    The demo-version wil be available on our page in the web version. So we will be happy to receive your critics and feedback after this point. IOS and Android demo after this. About Ipod... It will finally clear after tests.

    We kinda not sure about freemium, it's not clear right now with current balance system.
