You wake up on a spaceship, dazed and confused from the effects of cryosleep, and begin to search for the rest of the crew. Where could they have gone? All too suddenly, you discover that most of them are dead, and those still alive are… changed.
That’s what awaits you in Syndrome, a game by Camel 101. With this game, the team is wanting to take first person survival horror games back to its roots. In the dark confines of the ship, defending yourself is difficult and not always possible. There are a few weapons scattered about, but nowhere near enough ammunition to deal with all the transformed monstrosities.
To survive and uncover the events that took place while you were asleep, you can’t always face your enemies head on; sometimes hiding and breathing as noiselessly as possible is your best course of action.

Careful resource management is a key part of Syndrome, but so is learning your enemies’ behavior. What will attract their attention? What will give you a few precious seconds to pass by undetected? Take note―each misstep could be deadly.
Listed below are some the features that will be included in the game:
· Claustrophobic horror―Countless threats, both physical and psychological, await inside the ship.
· Fight or flee―Use weapons and ammo wisely, as they are in limited supply.
· Eerie exploration―there’s plenty to discover if you take a moment to search your surroundings.
· Nothing is what it seems―It’s up to you to find out what’s really going on aboard the ship.
· Reactive enemies―Cause a stir or make some noise and they’ll pick up on your location.
· Oculus Rift support―Experience total immersion with Syndrome in VR.

I am an aspiring journalist with dreams to make it to the conventions and play with the big boys of the game industry. When I’m not writing about games, I’m playing and enjoying them. Some say that I have an obsession, but I don’t. I have a really expensive hobby.
