During Gamescom 2022 and the Opening Night Live ceremony, Mad Head Games and Prime Matter introduced the world to their upcoming title, Scars Above. The game sends the protagonist, Kate, into the stratosphere to investigate an alien world wrapped in what developers call a challenging and intricate story.
A colossal and enigmatic alien structure appears in Earth’s orbit and stuns the entire world; humanity names it ‘The Metahedron.’ The Sentient Contact Assessment and Response team (SCAR) – consisting of scientists and engineers – is sent to investigate.
Things don’t go as planned, and the Metahedron hauls the team across space onto a mysterious extrasolar planet. Playing the role of Dr. Kate Ward – a SCAR member – who wakes up dazed, alone in a strange, hostile environment. Determined to survive, you set out to find your crew and unravel the mystery behind what’s happened.
Features include:
- the need to survive against the odds as Kate, a scientist, not a soldier
- exploration of a mysterious exoplanet filled with countless threats, gorgeous landscapes, and ruins
- set off on a research journey to extract information from surroundings by scanning artifacts, materials, and creatures
- thrilling boss fights with diverse strategies and tactics
Scars Above is planned for an early 2023 release date
