We take a mixture of Half-Life 1 aesthetics and shooting mechanics, Lethal Company multiplayer chaos, Phasmophobia-like horror atmosphere, and the general style of X-Files and the late 90s, and we get the Ukrainian game BEYONDER by SoFarSoFun, which was announced at the Ukrainian Games Festival 2024.
Here's What We Know
BEYONDER is a cooperative horror shooter with roguelike elements in the atmosphere of the 90s.
The game takes place in the late 1990s. Players act as agents of the shadowy Bureau, and their main task is to deal with the catastrophic anomalous release that occurred in the Pine Grove complex. But as a result of events that no one could have foreseen, a routine mission to neutralise a paranormal threat quickly turns into a fight for survival.

To survive, players must clear the complex, and the time to complete the task is limited. The equipment and ammunition are also not infinite, so players will have to plan their actions carefully and look for vital resources left over from previous missions.
While players are in the complex, they are constantly hunted by Entities. These paranormal creatures are constantly changing their behavioural patterns and abilities to confuse and frighten players. Some can impersonate elements of the environment, while others can steal and bring back to life the corpses of dead agents to use against players in subsequent playthroughs. Entities can even eavesdrop on players and interfere with their communications, sowing mistrust and fear among them.

In order to cope with the threats of the Pine Grove complex, it is necessary to constantly maintain communication and work as a team... but at some point you realise that the worst threat has been right there all along.
