Roach Royale
SteamNot long ago, one of the developers of this project was surfing torrent trackers in search of interesting content and accidentally stumbled upon a torrent file titled "DontDownloadThisGame.torrent."
Inside the downloaded archive was an unfinished alpha version of this game, the project's source code, and a creepy video recorded by the original developer: in a strange dark room with a reinforced door sat a figure illuminated by the dim glow of a monitor running the Unity game editor. Meanwhile, outside the door, the sounds of explosions, claw scraping, screams, gunfire, and the heavy hum of machinery could be heard.
The figure turned to the camera, its face barely visible in the shadow, revealing a sinister smirk. He uttered only one sentence: "Now it's up to you. Whoever finds this project must finish it. Complete what I started, or you will be cursed."
We had no choice but to comply, as each day of delay was filled with increasingly horrifying events.
This online horror game was created by us under the directives of an unknown evil genius dwelling in the depths of the darkest corners of the internet. Legend has it that this game contains a unique quantum code capable of capturing the souls of sinners and controlling them in the game. Each character is said to have once been a terrible person and as a punishment was locked inside this game for 10,000 years.
Welcome to Roach Race.
The game is a cooperative online shooter with elements of horror and strategy.
Play as one of the survivors, search for loot on the map, help your friends clear levels filled with monsters and traps, or become a monster yourself and try to stop your former teammates.
