Undying II Released!

I have just released Undying II people : The sequel to the classic Horror shooter Clive Barker's Undying...  I am really looking forward to the reaction to this release...   Because this is my favorite game of the three I am releasing in Late December 2017.  It has the best pure gameplay of the three and was the most fun to test for me by far... Vicious Onslaught was great and everything but it was really tough... This however, was not as hard and because of that I like it the most...

This game takes place 40 years after Clive Barker's Undying, which took place in 1927. This takes place in 1977.  You are the grandfather of Patrick Galloway (the first game's character) and are tasked with investigating Patricks weird Disappearance in the 1920's... You find out later that Patrick Galloway was investigating a demonic curse on a a friend named Jeremiah. The demon involved, the so called Undying King ended up Possessing Patrick at the end of the game, it turns out and he vanished...  Later on when you find Patrick's revolver, the undying king torments you because he was inside the revolver waiting for someone to claim it so he could torment them, or you in this case.

The game is a FPS with Survival Horror Elements.  Horror elements include the use of youtube-like screamers popping up in the game at random moments and in scripted sequences that tell the story. This makes this game DAMN scary!  You can be wandering around only to be hit with a horrible face and a loud scream. The faces used in the screamers are disgusting. And when it's over, there is a slight chance for another to pop up a few seconds later, which makes it important not to drop your guard after you run into one.

Due to time constraints, the story is told through text messages. I know I could have done voiceovers but I didn't really want to, I had no time to record them. And my voice would not have fit to well with the characters, because the main character is Irish. And even though I am half Irish, I cannot do an Irish accent well.

The enemies and weapons are a lot different than the original game. Gone are the spells, and a lot of the unique weapons in Undying 1 could not be done easily by me in the sequel. Two guns, the revolver and shotgun return in the sequel but that's it.  New guns such as an M60, Flamethrower, and Flak Cannon are brought in, and they all fit 1970's stuff well... No Chainguns, Laser/Energy Weapons or Explosives are in this game, to compensate for the fact they would not be available or not have been easy to get in the 1970's. The soundtrack is all royaltee-free horror themed music I found online.

Anyway, you can download the game here... It is a little bit smaller download than the last 2 games thanks to  the lack of high-res textures and music in the game....
