During Realms Deep 2023, Core Decay, a first-person action-adventure inspired by the classic immersive sims of the ‘90s, received a brand-new gameplay trailer. In Core Decay, explore vast facilities across a dying Earth and uncover a sinister plot to preserve humanity no matter the cost – even if it means redefining what makes us alive – in an atmospheric immersive sim that explores the nature of consciousness and individuality. 3D Realms, Slipgate Ironworks and Ivar Hill are jointly making Core Decay.

About the game:
FACE A DYING EARTH
The year is 2089. For decades past, the availability of natural resources has declined to the point of societal collapse. Nations are governed by corporations, and the planet is on the brink of an ecological collapse that will leave nothing left alive.
During mankind’s last breath arises a shadowy network of conspirators, bent on saving the human species using any means necessary – even if it means sacrificing all it means to be alive.
Follow the trails of a mysterious organization across a dying Earth, in an atmospheric singleplayer adventure of 11 locations to explore.
FIND YOUR OWN PATH
As you explore vast facilities, combat is not the only path to success. You may find that often the best approach is to avoid hostile engagement altogether and instead find creative solutions to reach your goals.
Explore alternate routes, hack computers and security systems, discover lost logs, keycodes and passwords, and use every tool at your disposal to reach your objectives.
BATTLE FOR SURVIVAL
Leave a wake of destruction as you travel across mysterious installations left behind by the ominous Contingency Accord, and turn their own weapons against them as you trigger facility-wide reactor core meltdowns.
As you traverse vast, deadly facilities, you will come across powerful armaments, experimental weapons, and secret equipment.
Use an arsenal of unique weapons and other combat equipment, as you battle both security robotics and the remnants of experiments gone horribly wrong.
DEFINE YOUR HUMANITY
You are an anomaly. Waking up in a cold storage pod with little recollection of your past, you find yourself far less human than you remember – and far more of a machine.
With strange but powerful new abilities, you are forced to reconcile with your new self, and understand what it means to be alive.
Upgrade yourself with over 100 game-changing cybernetic implants as you explore levels, defeat enemies, and gain experience.
