Dry Meadow

Dry Meadow is an atmospheric old-school FPS with emphasis on narrative journey, set in an alternative history at Finland's border to Soviet Russia. Drawing inspiration from exemplars such as Stalker, Doom and Half-Life, it aims to push the janky gzdoom-engine to its limits in order to bring forth all the best (and perhaps the worst) aspects of aforementioned classics, while retaining an identity of its own.Story synopsis: A catastrophe of unknown proportions - known as the particle wave - from the USSR has sent large portions of south-eastern Finland into disarray. Journey through altered lands in search of the origin of this disaster, while investigating the myriad bizarre effects it has left in its wake. You are alone in your mission, but perhaps there are people still trapped in the zone of alienation who might offer to share their stories.Gameplay: A blend of shooter and survival, elements and environments play a role equal to the dangerous monsters of the land. Build fires at dusk for warmth and light, craft traps at dawn to survive another day. Watch for daylight's fast waning as you make decisions whether to venture out after dark, or play it safe huddling near a fire. Slowly make your way through beautiful but desolate landscapes in locations varying from abandoned towns to foggy swamps and silent forests. Look for clues about what has happened to the world and listen to nightly radio broadcasts to keep up with the unfolding events.Misc. Notes: Early access coming soon, full release planned for 2027.Thank you for your interest into Dry Meadow. Remember to be patient and respect the woods.
