The Axis Unseen, a self-styled heavy metal horror game from a former Fallout and Skyrim developer, has hit Alpha.
According to Purkeypile, The Axis Unseen is officially in the Alpha stage and is progressing quite nicely. The developer revealed that he’d recently played through the game in 20 hours, but clarified that his runtime would likely be shorter than average because he took the “‘golden path’ not doing a lot of side stuff.” Purkeypile said he expects your playthroughs to take “at least” 30 hours.
Encouragingly, he also said he only encountered two crashes, adding, “I know why.”
The game features a “primitive” soundtrack from ex-Red Sparowes member Clifford Meyer, and it’ll adjust dynamically to the action on-screen, amping you up in fight scenes and settling down during quieter, exploration-driven sequences.
