I couldn’t contain myself
Here’s a pitch for you: a spec ops shooter, except it’s haunted. Well, that’s exactly what early accessco-opFPSContainis going for, where four of you gear up in tactical clobber and clear corners of military chumps and anomalous… rumps? It’s a mixture of Rainbow Six, a bit of Stalker, and maybe a touch of Control, with gameplay showing real promise. It’s also got me thinking about unexpectedly scary moments in shooters, too.
Developed by SinginGiant, Contain very much takes inspiration from tacticalFPS gameslike SWAT or Rainbow Six, where it’s less about 360 quickscoping a 12-year old and more about steering a bunch of your pals carefully through a quiet complex. You know, where each bullet cracks the silence and puts your foes down in seconds (and vice versa). What looks neat about Contain is that you’re on the hunt to find and ‘contain’ anomalies, essentially areas plagued by supernatural forces. Think a wispy strand of RGB flapping about in the sky. A gaping chasm of red crystals. An attic that’s fleshy all of a sudden.
If you’re keen to give Contain a go, you’re in luck as it’s out today in early access! According to itsSteam page, it’ll stay in early access until “the game reaches a solid build” and when that happens, it’ll add more missions, weapons, and the like. Right now you can get a taste of “their vision for the game” with, hopefully, lots of FPS meetshorror gamegoodness.
