Control, Alan Wake, and Death Stranding rolled into a survival crafting game | Gameplay - Once Human
Once Human is an upcoming online horror survival open-world game, with elements of crafting, base building, and exploration. Roam around the open map, gather wood, stones, and resources; and try to build bigger stuff. The game is currently in a limited closed beta state, with registrations closing soon on their wrbsite. The exact end date of the closed beta is still not yet known, so there's probably still a lot of time to play this game, provided that you can still register.
More evident in the introduction sequence but less pronounced later on, but the game draws thematic similarities to Control, Alan Wake, and Death Stranding, including eldtritch-like monsters like floating octopus like beings and the huge spider-like creatures, that brings a unique blend of narrative-driven gameplay and supernatural elements, mashed up and remade into a survival crafting framework.
Aside from its open-world survival aspect, Once Human blends elements of third-person shooting, stealthy melee combat, puzzle-solving, and a rich cinematic narrative as the backdrop. The character customization at the start is robust, offering detailed options akin to a legit RPG game. Puzzles, hidden treasures, and platforming challenges and missions are scattered throughout the game, adding more stuff to do aside from improving your character, crafting new gear, and building your settlement.
The progression system in the closed beta is well-structured, with a crafting and gathering skill tree called Memetics. As said earlier, the journey chapters act as an additional tutorial, guiding players through features and rewarding experience, currency, and materials.
