About the Game

WHAT IS DARK HORIZON?

Dark Horizon is a single-player survival shooter game based off of Escape from Tarkov, Casualties: Unknown, Fear & Hunger, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

You are trapped in a Russian city during a conflict that almost entirely destroyed it. After a near-fatal accident that killed the rest of your squad members, you are right in the dead center of the city's residential sector. Cultists and criminals have taken over parts of the city, with other government and military officials trying their best to control the situation and keep everyone inside. Radiation and the lack of electricity have twisted the city from fame to complete darkness.

FEATURES

• A realistic medical system, similar to Casualties: Unknown and Escape from Tarkov

• Dark, gloomy atmosphere with heavy ambience

• Accurate depictions of firearms from different time periods and locations

• Tasks, quests, trading, and more

• Social NPCs that will converse and interact with each other and the player

GAMEPLAY

Dark Horizon takes a lot of its inspiration from Escape from Tarkov, trying its best to retell the story of what happened in its own unique way. Base mechanics like medical treatment and firearms handling have been tuned to be realistic, but not extremely punishing. If you screw up, however, you will face the consequences. Severe infection will lead to forced amputation, starvation will lead to weakness before death, etc. Your character is far from invincible, but still has the knowledge and will to survive.

Similar to games such as S.T.A.L.K.E.R, you progress through the game by accessing specific transition points in maps. These points load you into new areas, with routes that take you to your own bunker. Some routes may also take you to temporary shelters that do not share loot with any other bunkers. Over time, you can expand your bunker to add more components to it, helping you survive easier in the fallen city.

Your life depends on your connections, with greedy traders barely helping you at the start of your abandonment. Once you do some dirty work for them, you'll start to unlock more of their store and meet new connections of theirs.

While this game is similar to other extraction shooters, it's a bit more of a mixing pot of multiple genres.
