Skautfold 3: Into the Fray (PS5)

Skautfold 3: Into the Fray is an oblique top-down action shooter that prioritises fast, bloody combat with satisfying feedback and environmental reactivity, all set against a dark Lovecraftian backdrop of civil strife.

Set in 1899 on the alternate history island of Portland, off the south coast of England, you take control of Hito, one of the Knights of the Empire. Your mission is to investigate reports of a missing royal and the emergence of a rebellious faction known as the Sons of Washington. Soon, a mysterious Fog descends, leaving you and the islanders to fend off the would-be rebels who have formed a pact with cosmic entities.

Features:

• A sequel to Usurper and Shrouded in Sanity, Into the Fray is part of the Skautfold series, though prior knowledge of the previous games is not required to enjoy this installment.
• The game is framed around an overview map of the island, allowing you to select from various missions as the story progresses. These missions will take you through the streets, dank cave systems, and even secret underground tunnels. But all is not as it seems; the streets are littered with corpses and infested with eldritch entities, while the tunnels hide horrific rituals aimed at expanding the Fog’s influence. As you search for a way to halt the ongoing destruction, you'll uncover the island's darkest secrets.
• Your arsenal includes devastating, top-of-the-line firearms, ranging from hand-cannons to triple-barrel shotguns, as well as prototype weaponry crafted by the great Nikola Tesla. These weapons will be your allies and your only hope for survival against both bloodthirsty rebels and eldritch abominations.
• Enjoy carnage with top priority given to gore and environmental reactivity. You can break just about anything, kick barrels of oil and ignite them as traps, or simply kick down doors instead of opening them! Persistent gore and debris immerse you in the world as you rip, tear, and explode your way to victory.
• Includes a double-sided poster.
