The Persistence offers a brutal take on survival horror that integrates an innovative rogue-lite design into the genre. Players are tasked with surviving aboard a doomed deep space colony starship in the year 2521. Players will repeatedly be heading deeper and deeper into the decks of The Persistence on each run. You’ll have to repair the systems and prevent the ship from being torn apart.

The Persistence Enhanced dials up the atmosphere and tension further with improved lighting and particle effects and the addition of a Raytracing ‘Quality’ mode for XBOX Series X and PlayStation 5, which also includes immersive haptic feedback via DualSense. DXR implementation is enabled for PCs with a supported graphics card.

“We’re really excited to debut The Persistence on next-generation hardware, bringing improvements that intensify the immersive stealth horror for both existing players and newcomers alike.” said Graeme Ankers, Managing Director at Firesprite.

The Persistence Enhanced will be available as a standalone paid digital download and also as a free upgrade for existing owners of The Persistence on PlayStation 4, Xbox and Steam platforms. Publishing partner, Perp Games will also release a PlayStation 5 boxed edition at retail stores in Europe.

Try and brave The Persistence

The Persistence offers a brutal take on survival-horror that integrates an innovative rogue-like design into the genre and players are tasked with surviving aboard a doomed deep space colony starship in the year 2521. Said ship is overrun with horrific and murderous aberrations that make their presence known as players explore, evade and fight their way through the depths of an ever-changing labyrinth to bring the ship back to Earth.

“Firesprite has created such an atmospheric, intense, and massively enjoyable game in The Persistence and we are absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to bring it to new audiences across all formats,” adds Rob Edwards, Managing Director of Perp Games.

“We’re excited about bringing the game to physical formats in partnership with Perp Games,” said Graeme Ankers, MD and Co-founder of Firesprite Games. “The Persistence is a totally unique survival-horror experience and we’re looking forward to seeing it hit retail shelves..”

The Persistence features: –

• A brutal take on the survival-horror genre that integrates rogue-like design elements to give the action an extra edge.
• Procedurally generated stages that change with each playthrough, creating a labyrinth-like experience that adds to the tension.
• Live, die, repeat. Play as dozens of different clones on board the ship, each one with the potential to be stronger than the last.
• Tailored controls. enhanced environments and post-processing effects for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One deliver a heightened fidelity of horror for fans of the genre.
• Atmospheric, cutting-edge visuals in docked, handheld or tabletop modes for the Nintendo Switch platform.

The Persistence looks genuinely unnerving and I look forward to seeing what it will bring to the genre once it comes out. Horror is always a fun genre to mess around in and this latest entry in the genre looks like it’s going to be spine-tinglingly good fun.

In this platforming adventure, you’ll need to avoid pitfalls, solve puzzles, and build your way through various obstacles, either alone or with a friend, in order to escape the nefarious Underworld.
This award-winning adventure sees you play as both Carly, where she co-operates with a block-building – and throwing – Reaperman.

Players can either control both characters individually or play locally with a friend across 50 levels of platforming fun.

You will need to rely on the abilities of both in order to survive and make it through to the next level by rotating levels, gathering cubes and planks for stacking, and earning collectibles throughout the journey.
Each player will see a different screen with one playing as the Reaperman in the PSVR headset and the other playing as Carly on the TV. This will encourage communication and creative thinking as there’s not always just one way to finish a level. In Carly and the Reaperman: Escape from the Underworld, co-operative play is encouraged to get the most out of the game.

Throughout the game, you will also be able to unlock various hats and customisables to mix up the gameplay aesthetic as you dare to face the horrors of the Underworld.

Of the announcement Johan Högfeldt, CEO and Lead Developer of Odd Raven Studios, says “Doing a physical release of Carly and the Reaperman is truly a childhood dream come true! If you add the fact that we are doing it with Perp Games, who have a long and successful history of launching VR games on the physical market, we couldn’t be happier. We hope that this will allow more people to discover the magic of sharing a VR adventure with someone else.”

Rob Edwards, Managing Director of Perp Games, loves the emphasis on co-operative gameplay in Carly and the Reaperman. “Working together to solve puzzles, with increasing difficulty and new challenges emerging, Carly and the Reaperman is an exciting example of how effective co-operative gaming can be in Virtual Reality, and we’re delighted to be working with Odd Raven on their groundbreaking debut title.”
