About The Thing That Happened

Welcome Survivor!

The Thing That Happened is an Openworld Third Person - Action Adventure Survial game.
You can use multiple weapons, attachments, close combat skills trees and crafting to break through your enemies.

In a post-apocalyptic world, Marcus Draven who arrived in the city of Jericho. The city was in ruins, with remnants of an old civilization scattered everywhere. Marcus had been traveling for days, scavenging for food and supplies to survive in this harsh new world.

As Marcus entered Jericho, he was met with a desolate landscape - crumbling buildings, overgrown vegetation, and a sense of eerie silence. The once bustling city was now a ghost town, haunted by the memories of its former glory.

Though the world around them remained harsh and unforgiving, the spirit of resilience and community in Jericho served as a beacon of hope in the face of adversity. Marcus journey in the post-apocalyptic city of Jericho was a testament to the human capacity for survival, adaptation, and the enduring will to rebuild even in the bleakest of circumstances.

Achived with Unreal Engine 5.2

Its a 2 person project , please keep that in mind. I used UE marketplace / Sketsfab assets, just like most of the indie developers and many big title's does.

The game immediately crashed upon starting it on recommended hardware. On this PC (specs below minimum), it at least opened but was very laggy.

The game is ok the aiming is not so good. I played for an hour and was not very impressed. The store line is interesting. Really needs a little love to make the game better 1 out of 10 i give it a 4 over all.

After disabling the stupid head bobbing in the menu that makes the game unplayable I am having a blast so far!

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
