Paradox Vector

Paradox Vector is a first-person shooter set in an ancient alien stronghold. You explore immense cyclopean structures, fight the Ancient Ones and their Bio-Mechanical Servitors, and uncover the secrets of an eldritch citadel. The story emerges gradually through locations and interactions across the game’s levels.

The stronghold

The levels use vector graphics and non-Euclidean geometry. Hallways may lead in unexpected directions, and enemies can attack from angles you do not anticipate. Navigating these puzzling environments is part of the action, rather than a separate puzzle game.

Explore and fight

The game takes place in an open environment that you can explore and revisit. Some weapons and items let you unlock secrets and upgrades, rewarding curiosity and persistence as you make your way through the stronghold.

Vector graphics

Paradox Vector imagines vector graphics as the visual style of an early first-person shooter. Its influences include the arcade games Tailgunner, Battlezone and the original Star Wars game, as well as the impossible art of M.C. Escher and the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. Its story pays homage to and continues At the Mountains of Madness, while its action draws on Doom, Quake and Half-Life.
