Faciplay launches Subway Outbreak demo at Steam Next Fest 2024

Indie studio’s new pixel game blends classic inspirations for a fresh survival adventure

Faciplay, the innovative indie game studio, is excited to announce their participation in Steam Next Fest 2024 with their upcoming title, Subway Outbreak. This side-scrolling base defense pixel game invites players to step into the shoes of a survivor in a mutant-infested metro station, where they must defend and rebuild their base against relentless hordes.

Inspired by gaming classics

The creative force behind Subway Outbreak is the CEO of Faciplay, whose vision was inspired by iconic survival games, aiming to deliver a unique blend of nostalgia and innovation that captivates both seasoned players and newcomers alike. By blending atmospheric tension with strategic gameplay, Subway Outbreak merges pixel art charm with intense survival mechanics, challenging players to think critically while managing limited resources.

Gameplay: Survive and rebuild

In Subway Outbreak, players face the daunting task of surviving against waves of mutants in the dark underbelly of a metro station. They will construct defenses, enhance fortifications for improved resilience, and even launch assaults on mutant nests to reclaim territory. Gathering resources is essential — players must scavenge for food, collect mushrooms, and raid crates for vital materials.

The core challenge of the game lies in surviving approximately 30 days, where players will encounter progressively larger groups of mutants. Initially, the threats may be minor, but as time goes on, the hordes become overwhelming. The key to success is not just in fighting off the mutants but also in keeping the power generator operational. If the generator fails or the player is defeated, it’s game over.

What to expect at Steam Next Fest

During Steam Next Fest, players will have the opportunity to experience a demo of Subway Outbreak, showcasing its unique blend of humor and tension within a beautifully rendered pixel art world. The festival, scheduled for October 14–21, will allow attendees to interact with the development team, provide feedback, and wishlist the game ahead of its official release.

A milestone for Faciplay

For Faciplay, this year’s Steam Next Fest represents a significant milestone as they connect with the gaming community and showcase their unique approach to game design. With Subway Outbreak, the studio aims to carve out a niche within the indie game market, appealing to both fans of classic survival horror and newcomers looking for a fresh experience.

As the event approaches, players can look forward to exploring the depths of Subway Outbreak, where survival is key and every choice counts. Get ready to fend off mutants and reclaim the metro station in one of the most exciting indie titles of the year.
