Too much action in the Callisto Protocol? Its writers respond and promise to scare gamers

The trailer of the game put a lot of emphasis on the fights, but the game will be more of a survival-horror genre.

A few days ago we saw the space horror video game The Callisto Protocol in action from the creators of Dead Space. It was a little over two minutes of gameplay with a lot of action. But to avoid confusion, Striking Distance Studios explained that the survival-horror component is more of a lead character, with a game design that aims to reinforce that aspect in other ways.

The overall tone of our combat system is, kind of a struggle for survival, doing everything possible to get ahead. And since nearly half of our combat is melee, that means you have to be smart about how you use your bulletsDesign Director Ben Walker told Games Informer.

Later in the interview, Walker explains how he included elements that would keep the player on the alert. Rhythm and fear. Knowing that something is out there, being afraid of it, and not knowing exactly when it will come. You will hear voices: is it really coming for me? When it will be? Use that sense of obscurity a little and then break it at the right moments to finish hooking the audience. You know, annoy or scare them when they don’t expect it“, Add.

Speaking of the combat system, in a conversation with 3DJuegos Chris Stone of Strike Distance Studios, he described it as being incredibly deep. “We used to call it 50/50 combat, we have our melee and ranged combat system, and a tool known as GRP, which is actually a prisoner deactivation device used by prison guards.” “And when you have all these tools, it’s basically a really fascinating experience where you can play however you want“.
