Developer/publisher Aurora Studios has announced HARM: Weather Warfare, a new story-driven first-person survival game in which you play a father who must save his daughter amidst a slew of devastating, unpredictable, and unseasonable weather anomalies. And to make matters worse, you'll have to battle a deranged cult that's taken over the abandoned HARM base. It's due out in Steam Early Access later this year. Check out the reveal trailer (with actual gameplay) above, and the first batch of screenshots in the gallery below.
Aurora describes the player's situation as the game begins: "The cabin where they were supposed to stay burned down with all their equipment, and the car was destroyed. They are forced to create makeshift shelter, search for food, and face an uneven battle with the unpredictable forces of nature. However, it quickly becomes apparent that the nearby mountain emits unusual electromagnetic waves that strongly resonate with water molecules and living creatures, causing not only local weather anomalies, but also changes in the behavior of both humans and animals."
You'll need to hunt, fish, and try to sleep, among other things, while Mother Nature throws all sorts of deadly and unexpected hurdles at you. And, again, you've got the cultists that have taken over the abandoned HARM base to contend with as well.
HARM: Weather Warfare is certainly one of the more unique first-person survival games we've seen. To follow its progress and/or wishlist it, check out its Steam page.
Ryan McCaffrey is IGN's executive editor of previews and host of both IGN's weekly Xbox show, Podcast Unlocked, as well as our monthly(-ish) interview show, IGN Unfiltered. He's a North Jersey guy, so it's "Taylor ham," not "pork roll." Debate it with him on Twitter at @DMC_Ryan.
