Open world

Begin your journey to the open world of The Infernalist, a third-person adventure game with the upcoming Prologue pilot episode. Explore a vast unknown world as the storyline unfolds. If you decide to take a break from the narrative, there are plenty of things to discover and admire, starting with the beautiful landscape, continuing with the incredible attention to detail given to every aspect of the level design, and topping with other surprises we’re putting in place for the most curious.

Thrilling storyline

Play a third-person adventure game that is built from the ground up with the storyline experience in mind. In The Infernalist we avoid traditional progression systems and highlight the character development as the story unfolds.

As the game begins, you slowly regain consciousness, or rather, you slowly find your way to your body. Now the reason why you are doing that or how did you get in that state of existence in the first place will continue to be a mystery as you begin the search for your identity and memories. You don’t remember anything at all. Nothing about yourself, of course, but also how to walk, and how to breathe even. Getting back on your feet is not an easy task, not even for a stranger who is desperately trying to restore at least some of your basic body functions. Why is this stranger there? Why is she helping you out? All questions will have to wait, because all your instincts, backed up by the stranger’s sayings as well, urge you to start moving right away. You can’t stay put for too long. You don’t know what you’re up against, but your feelings are overwhelmed. You can’t help thinking there is more than what you are seeing. More than this medieval world that you woke up in. Much more.

Memories

You might never recover them, but the only way forward is to explore this unknown world and start making new ones.

Discover detail-orientated clues spread around the world that can help you put together some information about your surroundings. These pieces of information can’t hand you the bigger picture on a silver plate. You have to read them carefully and make the connections on your own. You may draw the right conclusions, or you may be wrong. One thing we can promise is that you’re going to have fun in the process. These are going to be your memories, and your experience playing the game.

Exploration

There are no traditional guidance systems in The Infernalist. By design, the player masters his own progress towards the end of the episode and has to pay attention to the story queues for successful level completion.

We believe that the experience to discover what a game has to offer is at its highest when there are no built-in distractions that are diminishing your emotional reward. You can go where you want when you want. But progressing the storyline requires paying attention to your surroundings. There isn’t any map or compass to guide you. It’s you in an unknown world.

Team

The game is born from the minds of talented developers, with a thirst for top-quality entertainment experiences. We want to give back that expectation to the world and build a game that will make ourselves proud and our audience astonished as they first hand experience it. We’re committed to this journey, and we’re confident that we’re going to reach our goal in due time.
