OPEN BETA v-0.8.9: download right now from here or from our indieDB download page.


EFFING DEAD - The Broken Path is a survival action game, completely in 3D, with real-time light and shadows, glows and water physics.

We love the genre and try to bring back the same feelings and joy we discover while we played with RE4. But, also, we try to improve some aspect of the game mechanics and give it our special touch.

What's the game about

The game take place on a far far planet. A company specialized in finding new water sources send a ship of specialized clones to research new resurgences. They find a planet full of water and build a station for taking and storage the water.
But the connection with the planet station is lost by weeks, only one defence clone seems to be functional and operative. It's up to the player to take control of him and check what's going on.

The objective is to find out what's happen to the station, clean any kind of hostilities and activate the main signal with earth.

The defence clone is full operative and ready to take action and fix any kind of problem, but the player need to take care of the connection with him: damage disturb and alter the camera signal. Plus you need to worry about some places that have connections shields which must be removed or deactivated.

The clone has also a special ability when he aims objects: he can interact with station terminals, activate machines and take control of different type of sensors. The player will use the aim ability to explore and restore the full functionality of the water station.
He also can perform SPECIAL MOVES and FINISH THE ENEMIES with the V-Blade on his arm and do BARREL ROOLS to avoid enemies grabs.

Hey! I really like the feel of the game so far tried out the beta. I have a few feedback ideas I'd like to give you just constructive criticism, first off is this your first game ever? Just curious if so for your first game it is pretty awesome! Pros: nice story, great setting kind of different characters and setting than usual zombie game, does give the resident evil 4 feel a good bit, lastly love that you can enter any room from what I could tell anyways. Cons: could use more pick-up items, I didn't like that you can't move while you reload, graphics aren't everything but if possible they could use a little boost, also if possibly sound effects could use a little work but if those two can't really be fixed up better it's completely understandable. I hope you guys do great with this game and any game in the future!

Tks sqixlambeno!
This is our first game as TheShortAndThaTall and our first that we develop alone, from scratch, with code and art all by ourselves.
We 2 met years ago in a small company, where with other people we developed a bunch of point&click adventure, some useless :D pc games and a GBA game (action-sport).
So, completely different genre then survival, really.

About your pro and cons: with the next release we are changing a lot of stuff, first of all the gfx style (completely new) but we also add an important new game mechanic ;) and more puzzles.
We will soon make a news and write about the new direction of EFFING DEAD - we hope you will like it. ;)

Tks again for your nice comment. ^_^

Is the finished product going to be free? If not, how much would it cost?

Not free, we think more or less around 15 euros but we will see when the game is near the end.

We will give for free (with Creative Commons licenses) stuff from EFFING DEAD like characters, weapons, scripts… but not the game, during the development time. ;)

Oh yeah, TKS! We are giving to best to reach the steam! :)

The main point is that people don't know us and spread the word is the most difficult part, excluding development, really... but you can share the link with your friend, if you like ;)

Grazie Gentilissimo! ;) Lo speriamo anche noi.
Ora cmq siamo focalizzati al 100% sul restyling e "aggiornamento" ;) Poi ci rilanceremo sperando di lavorarci meglio il pubblico di Greenlit.

Se puoi e vuoi, fai girare la voce tra i tuoi amici gamers ;) Tks
