Game is being developed by just two people. Announce trailer (game is using Unreal Engine 4):

Publisher Headup and developer Bleakmill has today announced an upcoming FPS called Industria, slated for launch in Q1 2021. A press release sent to Twinfinite cites Half-Life 2 and Portal 2 as inspirations for its dystopian setting, and it’s a pastiche that’s on full display in the game’s first trailer.

The story’s premise is inspired by the work of American filmmaker David Lynch, who directed iconic sci-fi movies such as Dune.

As for gameplay, Industria is a story-driven shooter that’s about four hours in length. Players will have access to four different weapons as they fend off robotic enemies throughout what appears to be a fairly linear design.

Cool, gonna keep an eye on this one. Looks weird.

 

[Strider311]

Whoa. This looks way cool.

 

[archangelmorph]

Atmospheric and distinctive but the art direction is quite rough...

 

[SonicVolcano]

I'm confused by the setting in combination with the weapons used.

I like it.

Looks rad. Looking forward to seeing more.

I'm continually impressed by the games these small studios can put together. Dev tools and engines have come such a long way. I love it.

Might try my hand at some level design some day. I have a few ideas, dreams, premonitions? of other worlds that have embedded themselves into my brain. Would really like to realize them in some way.

 

[Sorne]

This looks weird as shit.

I'm in!

 

[-YFC-]

Wow, this looks amazing. I'm in. And that UE4 engine is pure gold, I love when games use that engine, it looks insane.

 

[Dacon]

I want David Lynch to write the plot to a WRPG.

Shit would be bananas.

 

[rofif]

Looks like that other game that's never coming out

"Not many games are set around the fall of the Berlin Wall "

Industria, a first-person shooter set in a parallel dimension "shortly before the end of the Cold War," looks cool enough. Not out-of-this-world cool, or give-it-to-me-now cool, but cool enough. It's the kind of game you might see pop up on Steam, give a once-over, and toss on your wishy-washy wishlist.

Bleakmill was inspired by Half-Life 2 and David Lynch, which is a hell of a jumping-off point.

With a 2021 PC release in mind, the independent studio is aiming to pull off a four-hour-long story set in a reality with humanoid robots – a realm described as "Berlin at the time of the fall of the wall meets a surreal industrialized city." Nora, the protagonist, follows a missing colleague's trail into an abandoned research facility. She treads "right into the heart of the universe, where time seems to stand still."

I hope they get out-of-control weird with this one. The freaky lumbering giant is a good start.
