Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive has revealed its next game: Meet Your Maker.
It’s a first-person building and raiding game that takes place in a hellish, post-apocalyptic wasteland, with players building towering industrial outposts filled with traps to protect genetic material – and then infiltrating the outposts of others to steal the precious resource.
It certainly feels like a departure from the popular horror multiplayer game, both in its genre and its aesthetic. But there are more similarities than you might think.
To begin with, Meet Your Maker has a certain horror undertone to it – albeit now in science fiction. It’s set in a desolate world filled with imposing, brutalist structures and genetically mutated guards – a bleak future that could reflect our own, ravaged by disease and global warming.
