Harebrained announces Survival Horror RPG Graft for PC

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for dark, immersive narratives and a soft spot for survival horror RPGs, I can hardly contain my excitement about Harebrained’s latest offering, Graft. The post-cyberpunk world, the haunting atmosphere, the tension of combat, and the promise of self-transformation are all elements that have me hooked.

Previously known for creating the Shadowrun Trilogy and Battletech under Paradox, Graft is now independently developing their first new project. This is a Survival Horror RPG titled Graft, set in a post-cyberpunk universe where players sculpt their own flesh as they fight to survive. The game will be available on Steam at some point in the future

Here’s the new take on your text:

In a tale as ancient as when the Ark was constructed for the first time, the character Theseus’s deteriorating vessel undergoes a replacement, part by part, until not a single original component is left. Would one still consider it the same ship?
Blend tense survival horror and a somber RPG journey in an exhilarating fresh venture from the creators of Battletech and Shadowrun Trilogy. Traverse a desolate world filled with intriguing, dark characters and terrifying creatures as you unravel the enigmas of the Arc. Plunder your adversaries to metamorphose into something else—something resilient enough to endure the horrors lurking nearby. Each Graft carries fragments of its former self, affecting your identity as well as your physical form
You are the Ship of Theseus. Who, or what, will you be when you escape?
Post-Cyberpunk Horror
The Arc is dying. You must escape.
At one point, it floated above us, resembling a colossal, gem-studded moon – an immense space station inhabited by beings whose bodies had been mechanically enhanced. These people, driven by a collective goal that has faded with time, regarded bodily replacement as commonplace and resurrection as an assured event
Now, one of the few remaining cities has succumbed, engulfed by the relentless approach of the ailing train station’s demise. Beyond its crumbling boundaries, you find yourself navigating through the deteriorating framework of the Arc, where energy and illumination are scarce commodities
But the darkness isn’t empty. It only feels that way at first.
Delve Into A Haunting World
Exploring The Arc offers a treasure trove of potent and eerie marvels – if you manage to survive long enough to uncover them. Delve into lost technologies and unravel mysteries as you navigate vast abysses, self-replicating mazes, and tech-filled catacombs in your quest for an escape route
A Dark RPG Experience
In this barren wasteland, you’re not alone – forge tentative friendships and nurture them into stronger bonds. Keep in mind that every survivor may be a threat or a deceiver, even yourself. The decisions you make will carve your path and determine the lives of those you encounter
Tense Survival Horror Combat
In an old, wild setting, bizarre monstrosities and relentless minions of a deranged artificial intelligence pursue you. As you navigate through this nightmare with a gradually expanding collection of weapons, you’ll encounter a fresh, intense take on traditional survival horror gameplay. To make it out of the Arc unscathed, you must choose your confrontations wisely and conserve your resources diligently
Transform To Survive
Transforming your physique serves as your greatest weapon. Enhance it with Grafts, and tailor your skills based on your unique tactics. Every Graft you tear from a defeated enemy or discover concealed within the depths of the Arc adds another lethal instrument to your growing collection
However, keep in mind that each Graft retains a tiny remnant from its former bearer… effectively merging them into your being
A Metamorphisis of Self
With each Graft, bizarre desires and fleeting memories surge within you. Now you recall the warm exhale of a lover you’ve never embraced. Now you find yourself inexplicably fixated on harsh and tormenting inclinations. Now you are reminded of the tedium of an interminable solitary imprisonment
In your own understanding, decide on the meaning of each piece, and be prepared to face the outcomes of every decision you make
Who, or what, will you be when you escape?
