What is Cold Cable: Lifeshift?
Cold Cable: Lifeshift is a 3D first-person action-puzzle game with survival elements.
After ore mining begins at Hope Garden, a sickness spreads among the population, turning some people into monsters. As a survivor, the player gathers supplies, manages radiation, and shoots monsters while progressing through multiple levels. The story centers on discovering what caused the outbreak and how to address it. The game also features custom models and audio, along with a horror atmosphere. The store text advises trying the demo before buying and notes that ultra-wide resolutions can cause sprite sizing errors; it gives 1920 x 1200 as the maximum resolution.
