Get Porcupine's Fate: Chapter 1 for PC

Porcupine's Fate: Chapter 1 is the first of six chapters in a first-person sci-fi horror shooter about a missing workforce and the experimental AI brain they were developing. After every employee of Marsh Industries seemingly vanishes, the police ask The Agency to investigate. You enter the company's high-security building alone to rescue any survivors, neutralize threats and retrieve the AI brain, while uncovering what happened and who was responsible.

The Marsh laboratory

You explore a labyrinth of doors and corridors, finding tools and solving puzzles to make your way through the building. You arrive with a gun and a flashlight, but must search for other equipment, including a crowbar, spray bottle and screwdriver. Items can help you solve puzzles and get through locked or booby-trapped routes; everyday objects can also be smashed, bashed and demolished.

Clues and survivors

You can read survivors' notes, check computers for emails sent on the day of the disaster and look for schematics of the AI brain. Bloody messages on the walls offer another source of clues. As you search for people who may still be alive, you discover what became of those waiting to be rescued.

Threats in the dark

The dangers include visible and hidden threats, and navigating them calls for knowledge, quick thinking and fast reflexes. Noise from your actions can draw enemies to you, and darkness does not conceal you from their infrared eyes. You must find somewhere to hide and stay quiet; the enemies can attack with stabbing, laser beams or electrocution. The experience also puts you under pressure, with destructible objects available to vent frustration, though making noise can make you less safe.
