The Drowning Announced For iOS
A new first-person horror game is looking to innovate and provide a high-end gaming experience on mobile devices.
The team at Scattered Entertainment is crafting The Drowning specifically to play using a control scheme built for use on touch devices, and provide a play experience tailored to more hardcore players. The game is set to release on iOS in early 2013. The Drowning will also release free-to-play. Notably, the early screenshots for the game look comparable to many current gen console shooters in quality. Scattered Entertainment is led by Ben Cousins, a veteran producer from the Battlefield franchise.
In the game, players control a survivor in a post-apocalyptic world where oil spills have turned the population into mindless zombie-like creatures. The game promises a focus on crafting and upgrading weapons as you fight to stay alive in the midst of the disaster.
