Atmosphere Lies in the Details
Hello, Hikers!
One of the most important aspects of creating a believable and tense atmosphere comes down to something players might not even consciously notice – the sensations experienced when firing a weapon, reloading it, dressing a wound or eating tinned food. We've paid particular attention to the quality of the animations, striving to make every action as realistic and believable as possible.

Take a look behind the scenes – from early renders during development to the final results running on Unreal Engine 5.
Let us know what you think.
