Press release:
Tuesday, 23 July 2024.
The Wakefield-based (England) indie games publisher and developer Team 17 and Melbourne-based (Australia) indie games developer Catchweight Studio, are today super proud and glad to announce that their WW1-themed pixel-art survival horror game “Conscript”, is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch) via digital stores.

“CONSCRIPT” takes players deep into the trenches of World War 1, offering a survival-horror experience inspired by the classics of the genre. Set in the Battle of Verdun in 1916, players take on the role of a lone French soldier searching for his missing brother, scavenging for supplies, surviving intense combat with enemy soldiers, and solving complex puzzles.

“It’s a dream come true to see CONSCRIPT finally released,” says Jordan Mochi, founder and solo developer at Catchweight Studio. “I poured my heart into creating a game that blends the harsh realities of World War 1 with the tension and thrill of survival-horror. I can’t wait to hear how players respond to the game and see it on the shelves.”

CONSCRIPT Features:

Play: Experience classic survival-horror gameplay set during the Battle of Verdun with high replayability, various difficulty settings, multiple endings, unlockable costumes, and bonus weapons.
Survive: Survive against enemy soldiers using WW1 melee weapons and firearms in an intense, harrowing atmosphere enhanced by pixel art aesthetics and oppressive sound design.
Explore: Navigate intricate, interconnected WW1-themed areas while solving environmental puzzles and managing resources effectively.
