Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive announces Meet your creatora first-person building and raiding game.
The game is set in a post-apocalyptic future where you build independent levels called Outposts. The goal is not only to protect your outpost, but to infiltrate outposts created by other players.
Build with a focus on strategic, block-based design, and you’ll draw inspiration from a customizable toolbox. Here you’ll find traps and guards for the labyrinthine outpost. There are also walkthroughs that are ready to fight and posing to enter and try to take over the creations of other players.
The experience is driven by user-generated content, and all Outposts in the game are designed by players for players. You can even team up with others to develop and raid outposts.
There’s more to it because there’s a story behind it.
According to legend, humans have been facing extinction since a genetic disease swept the world hundreds of years ago. Nations go to war for resources, societies collapse, riots happen every day.
At one point, world leaders created advanced research labs called Sanctuaries to carry out plans to save the world. The Chimera project is one such initiative. Here, they created hybrid humans using undamaged genetic material.
However, Chimera’s evolution took an “unexpected path” and that’s where you come into the picture.
As the “Last Hope” of Project Chimera, you are known as the Custodian, a clone tasked with finding the remaining uncorrupted genetic material. You will find these materials by stealing, or you will defend the resources you claim.
This undamaged genetic material is rare and there is an urgent need to find a cure. The sanctuary, led by the Chimera, has begun battling for it in outposts built by other players. At the center of each outpost is an extraction cube that fills jars with valuable resources.
Builders need to create various traps and guards to outwit or destroy intruding players, while raiders need to kill all the way to the extractor cube, steal its jar, and run away with it.
Between builds and raids, you’ll return to the Sanctuary that serves as your base of operations. In addition to the Chimera, the sanctuary has five advisors — clones who run the facility.
Progress by supplying advisors and chimeras with genetic material, which will unlock new traps, guards, sets, weapons, perks, and legends.
The developers say the game is expected to get bigger over time, and the mythology will continue to expand.
Meet Your Maker will release on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in 2023.
