emptyvessel

The System's entanglements run deep, grasping onto everyone and everything that inhabits this place. No one's to blame, not even for the secrecy.

Living in this bloodthirsty city under The System can change a man. It has a way of seeping into your very soul, manifesting like a sickness that is all consuming.

How do people describe your game: - Dredd meets Ready or Not - Action layered in atmosphere - Heavy metal cyberpunk

In the struggle for control, this city sure has a way about manipulating even the most moral of civilians.

Denial is a tool used for survival when you live in a deceitful metropolis like this. The haunting guilt, however, will have you seeing illusions of what you most desire everywhere you turn.

We're proud to announce our exciting partnership with @NCSOFT! This collaboration will play an important role and help us scale our development efforts. Learn more: venturebeat.com/games/ncsoft-m…

Chaos has plagued this city into abyss. With cops and gang factions at odds, their arms and their covet for control are what's fueling the fire. Wishlist DEFECT now: store.steampowered.com/app/2470010/DE…

Living under the jurisdiction of The System also means being wrangled by their police force, fortified with the most menacing gadgets.

There is a hunger to seize degree of power and these gangs are geared to take it.

A world shaped by rebellion, oppression, and the fragility of humanity. When chaos threatened extinction, humanity surrendered to The System, an AI built to enforce balance at all costs. Who knew The System would became humanity’s greatest oppressor in its cold pursuit of order?

With the power of the @UnrealEngine, we are able to create an efficient pipeline that quickly produces high-quality results. Watch how we use the Metahuman creator tool to speed up the process of bringing characters to life for DEFECT.

Tech and art go hand in hand when it comes to forming a ruinous city controlled by The System. Watch how we share materials/textures across departments to build more with less.

Revisit our panel from Unreal Fest and see what this world has to offer. Watch our team of devs operate in full force to create the brutal weapons and detailed characters for the world of DEFECT.

Each beat resonates throughout this city, being mirrored in the fight for control. This preview of HOGSTKR by @Mick_Gordon provides a glimpse of what’s to come. Stay tuned and be sure to wishlist now: store.steampowered.com/app/2470010/DE…

There’s no sense in viewing this world under the lens of what’s right or wrong. We do what we have to.

This city can’t survive without order. Will you fight to maintain it if that’s what it takes to continue until tomorrow?
