Artificial Bloodline

Artificial Bloodline is a survival horror escape game about Guangchuan Shi, a newcomer who arrives for a new job after being introduced by his cousin. After a welcome dinner, he blacks out and wakes inside a sealed modern hospital, surrounded by the smell of formalin and blood. With an unknown creature hunting the corridors and no way to fight back, he must search for clues, solve the hospital’s mysteries and escape a conspiracy involving lies, betrayal and sacrifice.

The hospital

The facility is a claustrophobic maze of dark corridors, blocked routes, locked elevators and overturned gurneys. Dried blood stains the walls and floors, while shattered medical instruments and hastily piled debris litter the way. Grisly experiments, cold-blooded betrayal and unknown creations connect cutting-edge science with ancient madness.

Evade the creature

The creature is highly alert and hostile, and it attacks in a frenzy when it catches your trail. You have no means to fight back, so use the environment to hide: duck into lockers, slip under desks or crawl beneath patient beds to break its line of sight. Sound also gives you away; footsteps, ragged breathing and a rattling locker door can attract it. When it prowls nearby, you must hold your breath and stay quiet.

Watch the ground as you move. The creature leaves patches of bio-active slime in the halls, and stepping on them sends a biological distress signal that makes it sprint straight to your location.

Light and warning signals

Your flashlight helps you search pitch-black corridors for clues, but its batteries are scarce and its beam can reveal your position. Scavenge for batteries and choose carefully when to use the light.

A walkie-talkie can help you communicate with the outside world and gather clues. Its detection mode also warns you when the creature is close with rhythmic beeps that grow faster as danger approaches.

Resources and puzzles

You can combine basic medical supplies to craft specialized compounds. These elixirs restore stamina for escaping pursuit and alter your physical state to help you endure the dangers ahead.

The hospital’s puzzles are woven into the story. Search for clues, bypass intricate security mechanisms and piece together a route to freedom while managing the threat around you.
