When you, like me, spent far an excessive amount of time taking part in Amongst Us throughout the seemingly endless COVID-19 lockdown, then I’ve simply the sport for you. Enter Dubium, an area sport that centres round deception and deceit. The place Amongst Us has cute little egg-like crewmates, Dubium trades these out for Pixar-style cartoon astronauts, and it appears to be like wonderful.
Your characters (dubbed ‘Frontiers’ in-game) are despatched off to a derelict house station with a quest to destroy 4 power cubes to save lots of the mysterious energy-providing keystones.
In a cartoon trailer akin to one thing out of Fallout, we see notorious terrorist group Blamane destroying house stations throughout the universe in an try and seize the keystones for themselves. As you’ll be able to guess, one among your ‘comrades’ is engaged on their behalf, and can slaughter each Frontier that will get of their manner.
You are able to do this with an enormous array of drugs, which can permit you to lure your unlucky colleagues, or just shoot them within the head. Every of the sport’s six characters have their very own skills and specialisms to both search out the Traitor, or decide off the Frontiers.
If, nonetheless, the Traitor is came upon and exterminated, Blamane could appoint a brand new Traitor, that means the sport will proceed – in spite of everything, it’s important to escape the house station. Whether or not you focus your efforts on survival or rooting out any and all traitors is as much as you, however you’ll should be fast about it.
To be able to engineer your escape, you’ll want to finish a collection of various duties, together with discovering oxygen canisters and checking the life assist. In some ways, Dubium is a extra real looking Amongst Us, however as a fan of all issues blood, guts, and gore, I like that.
Above all, I’m obsessive about Dubium’s artwork. Described as ‘Pixar-style,’ I a lot desire the realism over Amongst Us’ colourful 2D. I can see myself taking part in Dubium with pals on a darkish evening, simply ready for one among them to slink out of the shadows. Or, wait, possibly I’m speaking about me – you’ll by no means know.
Dubium is at present accessible in early entry type on Steam, so you’ll be able to take it for a spin proper now – in spite of everything, who doesn’t love a superb detective sport? We even have an inventory of all the most effective video games like Amongst Us, should you fancy pointing the finger in a distinct guise; City of Salem is my private favourite.
