Our take on Forsaken Frontiers
Rather than centering a conventional hero’s journey, the game frames survival as labor performed to repay an ever-growing debt. Its interface also replaces standard HUD elements with an in-world wrist computer, making inventory and readings part of the setting.
What is Forsaken Frontiers?
Forsaken Frontiers is a cooperative analog horror adventure set during an everlasting winter after an otherworldly storm in 1988.
Players work for the Entity Containment Division, exploring abandoned facilities across America while gathering resources and paying an increasing debt. Up to 12 players can coordinate through proximity-based voice chat. A persistent character carries across saves and servers, while the DataDeck combines inventory and vital readings without traditional HUD elements. It also stores collected tapes containing past messages and music tracks. The game includes 11 shifting locations, hostile entities with distinct behaviors, and four modes: Endless, Nightmare, Escape, and Exploration. Players can hide, use surroundings to evade threats, or lose a life and incur debt.
