November 18, 2024– Solo developer Cem Boray Yıldırım and publisher GameDev.ist have announced that Once Alive, a story-driven, first-person adventure game, is now available on Steam. A demo of the game is also available.

Once Alive is an immersive game set sixteen years after humanity’s extinction by a global virus where players control James, who, alongside his brother, believes they are the last survivors—until an invitation to a survivor base, HaustVille, changes everything.

Determined to find others, the brothers abandon everything and travel to HaustVille, but as they arrive, they sense that something is wrong, leading them to question the village’s mysterious emptiness.

With advanced Unreal Engine 5 technology, players explore HaustVille’s eerie environments, uncovering stories through atmospheric details and discovering an increasingly hostile wilderness where heightened aggression in animals adds to the survival challenge.
