INSTINCT encompasses horror on a whole new level — experience the chilling gameplay and story through the eyes of three different playable characters in this third person action game!
They are members of an elite American military squad specializing in covert ops and complete annihilation in enemy territory. Their relationships are torn apart and fade away as the three are separated to face North Korea's own special ops forces alone. The North Korean government has been experimenting with a new protovirus capable of decaying the mind while strengthening the body — a new form of warfare. When the virus backfires and is unleashed on the complex you were assigned to infiltrate and secure, all hell breaks loose and hope is lost. There is danger and mystery around every corner and any mis- take could bring corruption or death.
Features:
• An internally-developed, state-of-the-art 3D game engine capable of High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging, real-time depth of field, amazingly realistic physics, and dynamic lighting and shadows
• A story driven by powerful cinematics and a full-length graphic novel, both ensuring a powerful connection to the characters and action
• Witness vivid imagery so intense and realistic that you'll find yourself wrapped up in it — until you're sucked into the next firefight
• Artificial Intelligence that counters your every move; enemy commandoes will actually flank your position, bombard you with grenades, or pummel your cover until you're flushed out into the open.
