Australia is already notoriously riddled with creatures that can kill you, from the snakes and spiders that can surprise you in the shower to the sharks and stingrays that circle our shores. Still, that hasn\u2019t stopped developer Weforge Studio from drafting in a malevolent monster from another dimension and inserting it at the very top of the Aussie food chain in Macabre, a co-op \u2018stealth extraction horror\u2019 adventure that aims to fuse the bowel-loosening cat and mouse thrills of Alien: Isolation with the gadget-based teamwork of Phasmophobia. After a brief hands-on with a very early build of the game, I can attest to the prowling predator\u2019s stalking prowess since I didn\u2019t actually get a good look at the beast until it was suddenly dragging me through the snow-capped forest setting and knitting a sickening scarf out of my entrails. <\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

\u201cTo start with you are very helpless, and this thing\u2019s going to terrorise you and tear you apart,\u201d says creative director Jay Topping. \u201cIt’s not like this dumb meandering thing, the way that it interacts with the player is that at first it’s cautious, then it gets closer and [once] you’re out on your own it’s gonna start [picking you off].\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The core gameplay loop of Macabre, which in its current pre-Alpha form takes place in and around an alpine lodge setting inspired by Australia\u2019s Snowy Mountains region, sees up to four players investigating a mysterious rift in time and completing objectives provided by an exceedingly Australian guide named Banjo. In order to survive, players must scavenge for materials like batteries, electrical tape and old mobile phones to craft makeshift gadgets that both detect and distract the interdimensional assailant that hunts them from the shadows. <\/p>\n

The map itself is marked with ominous trails of blood and shadows that appear to be either cast by the branches of the surrounding snowgum trees or the spindly limbs of a quadrupedal murder beast depending on how much you trust your fluctuating paranoia levels. Meanwhile, the map layout is randomised each time you enter it, further heightening the sense of panic and disorientation as you try to evade a deadly killer that silently studies and gradually learns to anticipate your behaviour. Yet although it\u2019s effectively four against one, it\u2019s worth highlighting that Macabre is not an asymmetrical horror experience like Dead by Daylight, and its monsters are solely AI-driven.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you play games like [Dead by Daylight], I think you lose a bit of the mystery and magic that comes with an AI-controlled monster,\u201d says Topping. <\/p>\n

\u201cPlayer-controlled stalkers learn popular strategies from other players that make it repetitive, but they also mess around and do stupid shit, which really ruins the immersion. So the biggest inspiration [for Macabre\u2019s monster] is Alien: Isolation where it’s constantly adapting and changing. You can’t just hide in the same closets or cabinets, eventually it’s going to figure out that you’ve hidden that same cabinet three times [in a row], and it\u2019s going to come and kill you.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

While its core development team is based in Sydney and its initial map is inspired by Australian terrain, Weforge Studio\u2019s plan for Macabre\u2019s roster of deadly destinations is to expand beyond its southern hemisphere starting point. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese rifts are kind of like portals, bubbles of time, that have popped up all over the place and they\u2019re interconnected,\u201d says Topping. \u201cSo while [Macabre] starts in Australia, it can kind of go anywhere including [destinations] beyond our own dimension.\u201d <\/p>\n

The key is that each map will have to offer its own gameplay point of difference beyond mere texture swaps in order to consistently evolve the experience. One example given by Topping is the remote Australian outback town of Coober Pedy, an arid, desert area once featured in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome where residents build their homes in caves bored into the sandstone hillsides, which would serve as an ideal subterranean setting for a highly claustrophobic form of terror. Another potential Macabre map would be one located in China\u2019s Kowloon Walled City, a densely populated slum that would bring a greater sense of vertical scale to the stealth horror. <\/p>\n

\u201cKowloon Walled City would offer a great [visual] contrast of really dark areas and really bright neon-lit areas,\u201d says Topping. \u201cBut its twisting corridors would also allow us to have a creature that runs around above you, below you, and in the walls.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be terrifying.\u201d<\/p>\n

The monster itself will apparently adjust its form and behaviour to suit each location, meaning that the unnatural enemy you encounter in the Australian Snowy Mountains won\u2019t resemble the beast you encounter in say, a Mayan temple in a South American rainforest. In fact Topping compares it to the alien from John Carpenter\u2019s The Thing or Pennywise from Stephen King\u2019s It in the way it adapts to each environment. According to Topping, its ability set will also randomise along with the map elements each time you start the game, and that will determine which gadgets from your expanding list of blueprints you\u2019ll need to craft.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not just dealing with the same thing every time,\u201d explains Topping. \u201cIn each map there are different artifacts to find, and the combination of artifacts that are in there unlocks the abilities for that specific monster. You might go in and it will be moving super quietly and it\u2019s invisible for most of the time, then [you\u2019ll] need to [craft] this tool, this tool, and this tool [in order to combat it].\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately, we\u2019re not just trying to create one game; we\u2019re trying to create a universe.<\/section>\n

However, the interdimensional apex predator isn\u2019t necessarily the only monster that players will have to contend with, as Weforge Studio is currently brainstorming ways for players to betray other players, potentially by steering them into the claws of the beast and then pilfering the loot off their freshly dispatched corpses.<\/p>\n

\u201c[In a way] that sounds like a good idea, but [the risk] is that you get into a realm where everyone is going to kill each other, and so why would they ever trust each other?\u201d says Topping. \u201cI think the feeling that we want to create is something like [social deception survival game] Dread Hunger where everyone works together, but in the back of their mind they’re kind of like\u2026 are<\/em> we working together?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur end goal is to create the feeling of\u2026 you’ve got the main monster and then you’ve also maybe got all these other little monsters around you [in the form of your fellow players], and you can\u2019t ever be completely sure if you should trust what everyone else is saying.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Exactly why the rifts have appeared and exactly what sort of dark forces are behind them is a mystery at this point, and at this stage Weforge Studio is keeping mum about the actual \u2018extraction\u2019 part of the experience \u2013 it\u2019s not clear whether the goal is to gather resources and safely extract yourself from the area, or eventually somehow trap the monster and extract it along with you. However, what is clear is that Topping and his team have no shortage of ambition as far as the Macabre experience goes, and have apparently got a lengthy narrative backbone constructed that extends beyond just one game. <\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, we\u2019re not just trying to create one game; we\u2019re trying to create a universe, like a Tolkien universe,\u201d explains Topping. \u201cMaybe [Macabre] is like The Hobbit and we\u2019ll [eventually] get to The Lord of the Rings, you know? It would be so cool to build out a world around this so that it doesn\u2019t just end at this game. There\u2019s so much more that we want to discover.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weforge Studio has just launched a crowdfunding campaign to support the development of Macabre, which is now live on Kickstarter<\/a>. But it\u2019s not just financial support that the team is seeking, but the feedback from fans to help shape the scope and design of the Macabre experience. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea with the Kickstarter is that we want to get community involvement,\u201d says Topping. \u201cAnd I think we also want to do that during Early Access as well. Because ultimately, we can make a game for ourselves but [there\u2019s no point] if no one’s there to play it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we want to hear what people want to see. We’ve set the parameters, the [template] of these [maps that] you can play in. Where do you want to go?\u201d <\/p>\n

Even in its early state there\u2019s a lot to like about Macabre and it\u2019s strong potential for serious scares, and I\u2019m certainly keen to see how it \u2013 like its main monster \u2013 continues to shapeshift and surprise as it progresses deeper into development. <\/p>\n
