Publisher Bloober Team, alongside developers Broken Mirror Games and Anshar Studios, has unveiled SAW: Genesis, a thrilling three-versus-one multiplayer horror experience set to debut in Early Access on PC via Steam.
Game Overview
In the haunting aftermath of World War I, SAW: Genesis immerses players in intense confrontations on procedurally generated maps. Participants can choose to embody either the Judge, a pivotal figure in Jigsaw’s philosophy, or one of three Accused striving for survival amidst a deadly labyrinth.
Step into the Role of the Judge
As the Judge, shaped by the harrowing experiences of the Great War, your mission is to rehabilitate humanity through pain and sacrifice. This role allows for a unique gameplay experience where strategy takes precedence over brute force. Players can:
- Access hidden corridors and utilize a noise-detection map.
- Deploy hallucinogenic gas and paralyzing toxins to distract and immobilize the Accused.
- Summon an Accomplice to assist in dragging the Accused into Rehabilitation Traps.
Your ultimate goal is to guide the Accused toward making harrowing choices between life and limb, rather than simply eliminating them.
Welcome to Your Rebirth: Become the Accused
The trio of Accused finds themselves ensnared in a trap-laden environment where survival hinges on collaboration and quick thinking. Team coordination is essential as players work to:
- Complete challenges and scavenge for items.
- Collect keys before the clock runs out.
Each match unfolds on a procedurally generated map, where shifting routes and unexpected challenges can turn the tide in favor of the Judge. The pressure mounts as time dwindles, and players must confront the possibility of becoming ensnared in one of the Judge’s traps, forcing them to make critical decisions:
- Sacrifice a body part to escape.
- Depend on teammates for a timely rescue.
These choices carry significant, lasting consequences throughout the match, affecting players’ abilities to solve puzzles and evade capture.
Intense and Unpredictable Gameplay
SAW: Genesis is designed for short, adrenaline-fueled matches where no two trials are alike. Players can expect:
- Procedurally generated levels that enhance replayability.
- Dilemmas and puzzles inspired by the iconic SAW franchise.
- Rehabilitation traps that impose meaningful consequences.
- A dynamic power struggle where the Judge operates from the shadows, yet the Accused can seize opportunities to fight back through clever coordination.
Prepare to make choices, face the repercussions, and immerse yourself in the chilling world of SAW: Genesis.
