Black State
SteamAn action-packed third-person shooter with stunning visuals and high performance. A secret scientist organization summons you for a mysterious mission; rescue captives and uncover the truth behind a cataclysmic event. But beyond the portal doors lies an unknown fate.
But beyond the portal doors lies an unknown fate.
In Black State, you'll have to stay sharp. As you search for the captives and piece together what really happened, you'll face relentless threats, hostile human forces and deadly Robosapien enemies patrol every corner. And the bosses? They’re beyond anything you’ve ever faced.
Step carefully, every door you open could lead to salvation or straight into a nightmare.
Are you ready to open them?

In Black State, some doors don’t just lead to another room. They open into entirely different locations instantly. No loading. No waiting. Just pure, seamless portal.
You’ll have to pass through these portals to rescue captives and uncover the truth. Every portal door is a risk, a shortcut to completing your mission, or a trap. You won’t know until you open it.
Where will your next step take you?

Survival in the Black State depends on how well you wield your weapons and gadgets. Pistols and rifles keep you steady, while a shotgun tears enemies apart at close range in a single blast. The fusion gun? Handle with care, its sheer power paints the walls with blood. And you haven’t seen everything yet.
Your tactical gadgets can turn the tide, whether you take a stealthy approach or unleash total chaos. Just look at your target, throw, and let them do the work. But choose wisely, not every gadget is effective against all enemies.
When time slows down, every move matters. Think fast, act smart, and stay alive.

Human and Robosapien soldiers are relentless hunters, built to corner and overwhelm you. Hiding won’t save you, they’ll flank, adapt, and call reinforcements if needed. And for some, bullets won’t be enough to stop them.
Underestimate them, and you won’t live to regret it.
When the fight gets up close, you have over 110 brutal takedowns at your disposal. These executions adapt to your surroundings, whether striking from cover for a silent kill or finishing an enemy mid-fight, the choice is yours.

Every boss has their own unique style and attack patterns. You must learn and adapt. Do not be fooled, you can’t defeat them like regular enemies or even previous boss fights.
Each one possesses different abilities that force you to change your strategy. Some bosses won’t let you get close, while others won’t give you a chance to keep your distance.
Adapt or fall. The choice is yours.

Black State pulls you into a deep, mysterious, and emotional journey where nothing is as it seems. Every step uncovers new secrets, every encounter shapes your path. Some doors lead to new mysteries, while others reveal the answers you seek.
The question is, are you ready to enter?
