Apex Hunt (2023)

Apex Hunt is a horror game developed by XYZ Studios and published by EXTERNAL Games. The game was released on May 23rd, 2023, for PlayStation 5 and PC platforms.

Gameplay
The game is set in different decades starting from the 40s and going up to the 2000s. The player assumes the role of an agent, whose goal is to hunt down ghosts in various locations. The game takes a horror approach as players explore abandoned buildings and haunted areas, discovering clues and evidence to help identify and track down the ghosts.

The game features 20 agents per decade, each with unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Players can choose to play the game solo or with up to three other players in co-op mode.

As the game progresses, players will encounter different types of ghosts, each with its own backstory and method of attack. Players must use various ghost hunting tools such as EMF readers, night vision cameras, and temperature gauges to detect and neutralize the ghosts.

Setting
Each decade has a unique setting, with historically accurate locations and events, giving players a glimpse of what life was like during that time.


 * In the 40s, players are part of the newly-formed agency tasked with combating a demonic incursion created by the Nazis during WWII. The ghosts here are powerful, and players must use their wits and gadgets to track down the source of the evil before it's too late.
 * The 50s are set entirely in the USSR and focus on alien abductions, similar to the Roswell incident. Players must navigate the complex political landscape of the Cold War while tracking down the elusive aliens and their technology.
 * The 60s are all about the occult, with players facing off against demonic cults and secret societies. Players must gather clues and unravel the mystery behind these organizations while combating their supernatural powers.
 * In the 70s, players investigate haunted suburban houses, campsites, discos, abandoned hospitals, asylums and fairgrounds, all containing trends from the 70s.
 * In the 80s, players investigate abandoned malls, arcades, theaters & farmhouses, and although colorful, still hold quite the fear count.
 * In the 90s, players investigate more contemporary locations, like abandoned theme parks or abandoned power plants.
 * In the 2000s, players use more past tactics, as most of their tech is unavailable due to much of the decade revolving around an experimental A.I gaining sentience and causing an A.I Uprising. Players must use their investigative skills to track down the rogue A.I and put an end to its reign of terror before it's too late.
