Aquacreep (Alpha) – A Horror Adventure Indie Game Where You Need to Find the Alien in Disguise

 

Game Description

Aquacreep is a game based on the Astrocreep universe where you play as the humans against the morphing aliens.

You need to survive a serious alien infiltration at sea by using clues scattered throughout the game. Aquacreep has you and a team of humans working together in order to solve the mystery. But, someone on your team is actually the Aquacreep disguised as a human.

If you watched or played The Thing, this game is pretty much the same scenario in a warped dimension. The game uses a randomness factor throughout the story and your teammates each respond uniquely to the random elements.

The game has cartoonish graphics but still, puts you in an involved storyline that makes you want to finish the whole thing in a single playthrough. There’s a lot of dialogue and reading involved, so if that’s not your thing, you may want to look for another game.

It’s a sidescroller adventure with you walking through the different room and environments getting clues and hints other people, lab samples, and other objects. You have a few items you can use, including a basic handgun.

When you encounter actual “creature,” a fight ensues with the HP bar displayed wide across the screen. These are the moments that define the game. All the clues and variables finally come together in a shootout. It really gives you that satisfying feeling.

It’s like if The Thing has a randomizer that mixed up the clues every single time you watched or played it. It would be a different character for you to guess every time.

The awesome thing about Aquacreep is that you never play the same game twice. It’s always a different adventure because of the randomized variables.

Personally, I really like games that use this kind of setup. It adds an unpredictability factor to the game, and for a game like this with a suspenseful story, it fits the theme.

Aquacreep is currently in alpha, but already is entertaining to play. Check it out using the link below and see if you can find the Aquacreep before it destroys you.
