| Independent developer Team Vultures and publisher Firesquid Games are proud to announce that their tactical turn-based survival horror Vultures – Scavengers of Death (trailer, Steam, press kit), releases its demo on Steam today at 9am PT. As an operative of the VULTURES mercenary unit, you will scavenge the infested metropolis for materials and information that could cure the infection plaguing the world. The game puts you in the shoes of two agents, each with their own combat styles and customize their load out before entering a mission. Once inside, choose your tactics carefully. You may not want to engage in every battle, sneaking can be a viable option but when you do engage, you must rely on your tactical training in turn-based combat. Aim for vital spots or disable opponents to slow them down. Use any method to get out alive with the target. |
| Content of the DemoThe demo will give access to the very first mission of the game which takes place in a Police Station. The playable character is Leopoldo, 3 different weapons will be available in this mission (combat knife, pistol, shotgun). The average Playtime when you are new to the game is roughly ~45 minutes to play the whole mission. Leopoldo is on a mission to investigate the last location where Thiago Schultz, a scientist who worked for Eugenesys Corporation, sought refuge one day before the incident (outbreak). He must investigate the station for any records or evidence Thiago may have left behind. This could be the first lead toward understanding what really happened… |
| Scavenge a Ruined City The city is full of information left behind after the infection. Piece together a path to the cure by extracting relics, notes and items from various locations, each with their own obstacles. Survive along the way by scavenging for any tools that can aid you, keys to unlock your way and new weapons to expand your skills. |
| Classic Survival Horror Inspired by some of the most foundational Survival Horror franchises like Resident Evil; Vultures embraces a retro PS1 aesthetic and mechanics that lead to a tense, horror filled exploration. Isolated as a single agent in the dark halls of the city, every choice could lead to a successful mission or death. |
| Salento Valley – Ground Zero A once bustling metropolis, Salento Valley now lies as a desolate battleground in the wake of a bio-hazard disaster. As a VULTURES operative, you will face increasingly challenging odds as you make your way through the city’s ruins. Horrifying mutants and abominations lay in wait for fresh blood like you. |
