Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat-centered action, since progression centers on stealth, exploration, and evasion

Our take on Host 714
Rather than centering an action RPG on combat and character power, the game places a vulnerable test subject inside a hostile institution. Stealth, restricted-area exploration, investigation, and escape replace a conventional heroic progression through open environments.
What is Host 714?
Play as Squid, a drug-addicted homeless man recruited by the Orange Institute for experimental rehabilitation on a remote island.
After arriving, he discovers that the facility has made him a test subject. Escape requires moving through abandoned dungeons, laboratories, rooms, and corridors while avoiding guards and coping with the effects of a virus. Exploration reveals information about the organization and its treatment of prisoners, while keys and access cards open restricted areas. Mysteries must be solved to progress through locked sections of the institute. The story includes possible allies, memories of abuse, and questions about retaining humanity amid violence, hunger, cold, nudity, gore, sexual harassment, and tobacco use.
