Vestige of the Past Windows game

Vestige of the Past is a an open world game in which you are exploring an immersive world of alternative presence and trying to survive in an almost familiar but oddly different place. What is behind that contrast between what your eyes are telling you and your gut feeling? Well you will have more pressing matters to worry about at the beginning.

First you will need to learn how to survive and make decisions that you might not be proud of. Or perhaps you will take such decisions you won’t need to be secretive about. It’s all up to you. Either way, you will be the one who will have to deal with the consequences.

Gameplay

The entire world is a sandbox in which you start with nothing. In order to survive and progress in the game, you need to work your way up, using the wide variety of detailed, fun game mechanics and mini-games at your disposal.

You can also immerse yourself in captivating Story mode in which you will uncover the true nature of the world you live in.

For Vestige of the Past we have created a unique city using hand modelled buildings based on their real counterparts in Brno (Czech republic) and its surroundings. We are building the game predominantly on our own assets. Combined with well-planned city layout, this not only creates astonishing atmosphere, but also makes navigating through it a piece of cake. That will come in handy as you will be able to explore many interiors with functioning useful businesses like supermarkets, gas stations, restaurants, auto repair shops and so forth.

Of course all of that is only a background for a vibrant society, much like the real one, and you will need to earn your place in that community. Every character you meet has his own individual set of characteristics which will make each of them unique. You will need to discover and take advantage of who they are in order to build the best possible reputation for yourself. If you do it right, you will get better deals, find more lucrative jobs and be entrusted with complex and interesting quests.

There will be dozens of different career paths for you to chose from. Just for example, you can work:

• In a fast food
• On a farm
• As an auto mechanic
• As a hunter
• As a fisherman
• As a delivery boy

And much much more...

Survival is not the only important aspect of the game: having fun and expressing yourself are key, too. Therefore we are working hard to create a customization system so you can express yourself in the game. You will be able to equip your home and office, customize your car and, of course, your own character.
