About This Game

WHAT IS HIBERNACULUM?

• Hibernaculum is a retro inspired dungeon crawler that sets out to recreate the engrossing labyrinthine experiences of the classics of days gone by, whilst also building a modern, deeply unique & explorable world of survival, mystery and macabre intrigue. • Hibernaculum is a first person sci-fi/horror role playing game with survival horror roots. • Create a unique character to explore the depths of Hibernaculum & have the experience you want to have. Choices only matter, if they matter to you. • Non-linear gameplay allows for exploration at your own pace, and in your own fashion. Forge ahead and risk calamity or riches. Conversely, pace yourself and avoid harm. • Navigate a decayed industrial realm through environmental storytelling and a unique, brooding atmosphere. • Hibernaculum will be developed in C++ for PC (Windows) & Mac with hopes for porting to iOS & Nintendo Switch. • Hibernaculum will initially be available in English, French, German & Spanish. • Hibernaculum will be released DRM-free & available on Steam & GoG.

Hibernaculum has a sharp focus on exploration and atmosphere with a penchant for allowing the player to discover, uncover, salvage and piece together the mysteries of the Ship whilst emphasising mechanics that allow for emergent gameplay amidst the matrices of survival, combat and character progression.

With a raft of modern conveniences such as an on-screen minimap + waypoints, more aesthetic and navigable maps + hub areas, a more concise and efficient stat/combat system as well as many other UI and quality of life features we hope to make Hibernaculum the most playable, expansive, intriguing and absorbing game of it's type since the heyday of these games; the long forgotten primeval epoch of 1995.
