Our take on Project X
The premise foregrounds disappearances, archaeological evidence, and a mysterious beast, but gives little detail about the investigation structure. The available equipment and object interaction are identified, while the scope of exploration and multiplayer format remain broadly defined.
What is Project X?
Investigate disappearances and unusual animal evidence in Grackham National Park as David Smith, a scientist sent by Central University.
The investigation follows reports of a forest roar, blood traces on a car found in the forest, strange footprints, torn animal bodies, and an unknown skull discovered by archaeologists. A group led by Dana Foster believes the remains belong to a new species, while Smith suspects an ordinary animal. Cameras, a map, a flashlight, and binoculars support the search. Most objects can be interacted with during exploration. The game includes a single-player story mode and local multiplayer. It has four languages and includes amateur voice recordings in English and Russian.
