Into Death and Beyond

Into Death and Beyond is a first-person survival horror game set on the hostile planet XB32-ENT. You play as Mark Helkins, a bounty hunter sent to capture a rogue alien mutation created by GenHaptics Corporation’s experiments. After crash-landing, you are stranded with limited resources among dangerous creatures and the remnants of a disastrous genetic experiment. Your mission is to capture the alien entity and escape before it hunts you down.

Investigate the labs

Explore three research laboratories in a semi-open world, choosing the order in which you visit them and collecting tools for your mission. The planet’s dense atmosphere fills the landscape with mist, while the labs contain environmental puzzles, hazards, enemies and hidden logs that reveal the experiments’ history. The narrative explores corporate corruption, political intrigue and cosmic horror.

Scavenge and fight

Resources such as plasma ammunition and health kits are limited. Your low-power plasma weapon requires precise headshots to kill enemies, making each encounter a test of aim and resource management. You can also find and combine components to build a powerful weapon for confronting your ultimate prey.

Uncover the threat

The game combines post-apocalyptic environments, oppressive fog and unsettling sound design. Cinematic sequences advance the story toward a final confrontation with a seemingly invincible foe, as you fight mutated horrors and try to escape with the alien specimen.
