If you have been longing for a new survival game that stands out from the crowd, then Covenant.dev has got you covered. They have just announced their upcoming game, To The Star, which promises a “whimsical” survival adventure inspired by Alice In Wonderland. But what really sets this game apart is its unique cooking system that allows players to combine monster parts with “suppressed emotions” to create both consumable foodstuffs and weapons. Imagine blending your id into a light cream and adding some psychedelic snake giblets to create an exploding trauma cupcake. It’s definitely a departure from the typical crafting mechanics we’ve seen in other survival games and offers a refreshing twist on the genre.
To The Star aims to break away from the realism focus that dominates the survival adventure genre. Covenant.dev wants players to unleash their creativity and embrace the bizarre. With the cooking system, you can create a wide variety of dishes using a combination of ingredients ranging from the mundane, like snail slime and snake meat, to the intangible, like suppressed emotions or lost dreams. These dishes can be consumed for various effects or thrown at enemies to give them a taste of your feelings. It’s a whimsical take on survival that injects a sense of imagination into the gameplay.
A Robust Base-Building Experience
In addition to the unique cooking system, To The Star also offers a robust base-building element. But instead of the usual base-building mechanics, players will have access to what the developers call a “briefbase” – a portable portal to a private dimension where you can build your own house and secure it against potential invaders. This adds an extra layer of customization and personalization to the game, allowing players to truly make their mark on the world of To The Star. Whether you prefer a cozy cottage or an extravagant mansion, the briefbase gives you the freedom to create your dream home.
To The Star not only allows players to embark on their survival adventure alone but also offers co-op gameplay for up to four players. Team up with friends and explore the whimsical world together, tackling challenges and sharing the experience. Additionally, the game boasts comprehensive mod support, meaning players can create and share their own mods to enhance the gameplay even further. This opens up a whole new level of creativity and community engagement, making To The Star a game that evolves and grows with player input.
While Covenant.dev’s previous game, Gord, received mixed reviews, To The Star shows promise with its unique blend of whimsy and survival mechanics. The cooking system, base-building elements, and emphasis on community feedback make it a game worth keeping an eye on. So if you’re tired of the same old survival adventures and crave something different, be sure to look out for To The Star. While there is no release date yet, the anticipation for this whimsical survival adventure is already building. Get ready to embark on a journey like no other and let your imagination run wild in To The Star.
