Far Cry meets BioShock in creepy free Steam download

If you’re a fan of Far Cry and BioShock on the lookout for something creepy to play this Halloween, then look no further than this upcoming game on Steam.

While Far Cry isn't known for its moments of horror (though it’s never short of tension), it is known for its fun action gameplay and huge open worlds to explore. As for the BioShock series, that is most certainly not short of scares.

Despite rumours making the social media rounds, Ubisoft is yet to officially reveal a new Far Cry game. However, we do know that BioShock 4 is on the way as well as one from the creator of the series, Ken Levine with Judas.

So, while we wait for the arrival of the next Far Cry and Bioshock as well as Judas, gamers might want to check out the indie title, developed by Chicken Launcher, namely, Project: Mist.

“Join the Project: Mist in this new open-world survival horror. Explore an enigmatic Island,” reads the description on the Steam store. “Fight against colossal monsters. Build and defend your base while crafting traps, siege weapons, upgrading your gear and Gravity Gun. Survive or perish while unravelling the secrets behind the giant wall!”

It continues: “In this unforgiving nightmare, every decision can be a matter of life or death. Your resourcefulness, cunning, and determination are your only allies against the unrelenting terror. Farm, cook, craft special consumables, weapons of war and ammunition.”

The mention of a Gravity Gun has certainly piqued my interest, especially being a fan of the Half-Life series. Speaking of which, Valve, where’s Half-Life 3?

Project: Mist has a Steam release date of 12 December 2024, assuming it doesn't get delayed. What’s more, at the time of writing, there is no news of a console release. Hopefully, that will soon change.

In the meantime, you can download and play the Project: Mist demo right now via Steam.
