LAUNCH: Free demo to Genotype out today.

Today, Bolverk Games is launching a demo of Metroidvania-inspired FPS Genotype. In the demo, players experience the first level of an underground Antarctic facility that frames the action-adventure. During the 30-minutes to
1-hour level, survivors make first contact with aggressive alien lifeforms, discover increasingly advanced weaponry, and peel the first layers off the mysteries of the hidden lab facility and its critical failure that suddenly unleashed a potentially world-ending event. Keep your head cool. Think. And act!

To survive, you must explore. You must adapt. And you must fight.

Today's demo launches on Steam, Meta’s app lab, and itch.io. Genotype is also available in try-before-you-buy mode on Meta Quest headsets.
 

The full version of Genotype
The full version of Genotype launched in October 2023 and has received numerous updates and patches since, including a huge combat update in response to early player feedback. In its current state, Genotype recently won Game of the Month on the Virtual Strangers podcast and YouTube channel.

Genotype is available for Meta Oculus headsets, PICO, PSVR2, and on Steam.
 

 

 
 

More about the game
In Genotype, you explore an Antarctic research base overrun by monstrous beasts, wielding high-tech gloves that print living organisms you can use as weapons and survival tools.
 

• Print creatures and use them as weapons to fight off aggressive beasts.

• Transform into other beings to move through vents and use them as tools to clear environmental obstructions.

• Upgrade your creatures' DNA to enhance their capabilities, and customize your GRAID gloves to increase your survival chances.

• Enjoy high-fidelity graphics that take full advantage of the Meta Quest platforms' graphical potential.

• Immerse yourself in an emotional narrative with fully voice-acted characters.

• Dive into a world with truly alien sound design and atmospheric synth-scapes.

You play as Evely, an intern at an Antarctic weather station. During a routine expedition, Evely falls through the ice into the mysterious Snowdrop Initiative laboratories. Luckily, the facility's last human survivor, William, can guide her to save herself — and the entire planet.
