Publisher JanduSoft and solo developer K148 Game Studio have announced that E.S.D.E., a dark extraction game, will launch on December 3 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
Humanity is on the brink of extinction. Most of the population has vanished, while those who remain have transformed into strange, soulless anomalies. These once-human creatures now pose an unpredictable threat to anyone brave enough to enter the dangerous zones they inhabit.
In E.S.D.E., every expedition is a gamble. Players will explore six distinct locations, ranging from massive apartment complexes to an abandoned school, searching for valuable items to sell to merchants. The money earned can then be used to fund future expeditions, but surviving long enough to bring back your findings is never guaranteed.
Seven types of anomalies stand between you and your objectives, each with unique behaviors that players must learn to recognize. Staying alert is essential, as a single mistake could end an expedition.
Your mask is another important tool for survival. Wearing it at the right moment can help prevent certain anomalies from detecting you, making quick decisions crucial when danger is nearby. With players spending much of their time alone in these hostile environments, knowing when to hide, move, or retreat could mean the difference between survival and death.
With six zones to explore, valuable resources to recover, and seven distinct anomaly types to face, E.S.D.E. puts survival at the center of every expedition when it arrives on December 3.
