Upcoming speed-climbing horror roguelite White Knuckle took part in today’s Future Games Show, selected by the showrunners as part of the ‘Ones to Play’ section of the livestream, focusing on acclaimed games that viewers can play now.
In development by three-person team, Dark Machine Games, and published by horror masterminds DreadXP,
White Knuckle has a demo available on Steam, currently holding a 98% positive rating with over 1400 reviews, earning it the spot in the show ahead of the game’s launch this year.
As a lone climber trapped in a decaying megacomplex deep underground, you must ascend SUB-STRUCTURE 17 using precision movement, sharp reflexes, and resource management.
Scale crumbling walls, vault over treacherous gaps, avoid deadly traps, and evade the compound’s malevolent denizens as an encroaching and increasingly angry ooze rises below you, spurring you to climb swiftly or face your doom.
The higher you climb, the more dangerous your surroundings become. From the deep dry storage of the Silos to the putrid sewers of the Pipeworks and the haunted piers of Habitation, the changing environment presents new challenges which are sure to increase tension as you try to break free.
Should you fall, you’ll be able to augment yourself with different unlockable perks during runs to make climbs a bit easier.
