The Overlap (AppID: 3554890)

--- THE OVERLAP ---

The Overlap is a survival-cosmic-horror 2D sandbox game in which you'll be able to explore procedurally generated wastelands, scavenge resources, craft, build (or should I say 'rebuild'?), customize and upgrade your survivor, face eldritch horrors, survive the post-cataclysmic world, go through hell alongside friends online, rise from the ashes and find out the truth behind it all.

--- STORY ---

The Overlap takes place after a series of major natural and preternatural catastrophes hit earth. This mysterious event destroyed modern society as it was once known and was later called 'The Cataclysm' by those who survived it. Inexplicably, among the ruins of the nations once built, some of those who didn't succumb to hunger, disease or a violent death... changed, first falling into madness and then slowly turning into wretched beasts.

The Cataclysm destroyed everything in its wake, no biome was left unscathed. The procedurally generated wastelands now shape the post-cataclysmic world.

--- GAMEPLAY ---

Exploring will be one of the pillars of the game, with literally hundreds of millions of procedurally generated post-cataclysmic worlds to explore, there will always be a new place waiting to be discovered. From the heights of a skyscraper, to the depths of the sewers or underground cave systems and everything in between.

But make no mistake, these worlds will be filled with all kinds of eldritch horrors and it's up to you to decide how to deal with them:

• If you choose to fight then explosives, melee and ranged weapons will probably get the job done. Don't forget that this path is usually noisy and may attract unwanted attention!

• If you choose to sneak then moving silently (walking and crouching), improvised hideouts (terrain cover ,wardrobes, recycling bins, etc), distractions and even sometimes parkour will be your best allies.

Gathering resources in the form of scavenging and mining will also be essential for you to have the components needed to craft weapons, gear, furniture, building materials and many more kinds of items.

But at the end of the day, you can't run forever and it doesn't need to be night for you to be in danger here. That's why you'll eventually need to build your very own sanctuary... your very own shelter. Don't let your creativity stop there, though. Build anything you want!
