Sampling

Sampling is a stealth and action game in which you sneak or fight through procedurally generated outposts and arenas to rescue the lost. You sample other beings to gain the temporary ability to morph into them, and use the environment to hide from or dodge enemies. To hinder immortal opponents from reviving, you can roll their “Eye” away, then escape.

Outposts and beings

The game has infinite procedural outposts and arenas, each with its own setup. You encounter a range of beings to sample, fight and eavesdrop on, while the difficulty fluctuates and keeps increasing.

Characters and infusers

A dozen characters are available to unlock, each with its own challenge and skill. Infusers provide temporary boosts or act as wells from which you can pull a sample.

Local co-op

You can play locally with a partner using a controller, working as a duo to sample and rescue. The game also has a story that unfolds gradually.
