In Call of Beyond, you step into the shoes of a young acolyte within the All-Mother’s sacred order, tasked with investigating the mysterious Ghost Frontier, a newly emerged land that defies all understanding. The land is a dark and dangerous place, filled with both awe and horror, where monstrous creatures and strange anomalies dwell. As part of your mission, you will uncover ancient secrets, confront the unsettling forces of the unknown, and face trials that threaten to strip away everything that makes you human.
The deeper you venture into the frontier, the more your perception of reality begins to fray. The line between nightmare and waking life becomes increasingly blurred, and you will find yourself questioning what is real. With each passing day, you will be tested—by both the grotesque creatures that roam the land and the strange entities that lurk just beyond the veil of reality. Can you survive the perilous journey through this realm of horror, or will you be consumed by its dark allure?
Gameplay Features:
Survival and Exploration:
Navigate the eerie, ever-shifting landscape of the Ghost Frontier by day, scavenging for resources, crafting essential items, and uncovering secrets hidden within the environment. As night falls, the dangers multiply—creatures from beyond the known world emerge, and you must quickly find shelter, set up defenses, or risk becoming prey. Every step counts, and your survival depends on your ability to manage your resources and adapt to the hostile environment.
Living Ecosystem:
The Ghost Frontier is alive—its flora and fauna engage in a constant struggle for dominance, with every creature, plant, and organism playing a role in the delicate balance of survival. This dynamic ecosystem reacts to your presence and actions, presenting both opportunities and dangers at every turn. Study the behavior of the creatures, use them to your advantage, or risk becoming part of the cycle of life and death.
Mysterious Companions:
Along your journey, you will encounter strange entities from beyond, some helpful, others cryptic or dangerous. These beings will assist you in unraveling the secrets of the Ghost Frontier, providing insights or offering guidance when you need it most. But be warned—trusting them could have consequences that you may not fully understand until it's too late.
Game Mechanics:
Survival Crafting:
Throughout the game, you will need to gather materials from the environment to craft weapons, tools, and shelter. The day and night cycle plays a critical role in your survival strategy, with daylight offering opportunities for exploration and crafting, while the dark hours force you to seek safety and prepare for whatever lurks in the night.
Reality-Bending Challenges:
As the game progresses, your character’s sense of reality begins to warp. Hallucinations, strange visions, and nightmarish creatures will start to appear, making it harder to distinguish between what is real and what is not. These psychological challenges can affect your decisions, and what might seem like a safe haven during the day could turn into a deadly trap under the influence of the frontier’s dark magic.
Choice-Driven Narrative:
The world of Call of Beyond is shaped by the choices you make. Will you embrace the strange allure of the frontier, or will you try to maintain your humanity? The relationships you form with the entities and characters you meet along the way will shape the story and determine the path you take, ultimately leading to multiple possible endings. Your decisions have weight—will you succumb to the temptations of the frontier, or rise above them?
Game Tips:
Master Resource Management:
The key to surviving the Ghost Frontier is careful resource management. Always keep an eye on your supplies—materials for crafting, food, and tools—and make sure you're prepared for the dangers that await you at night. Scavenge for useful items during the day and ensure you have everything you need before darkness falls.
Pay Attention to Environmental Clues:
The creatures of the Ghost Frontier are not just hostile forces—they are part of a larger ecosystem. Study their behavior, the patterns of the land, and the clues in the environment. Understanding the natural world around you can give you the upper hand in avoiding danger or using the creatures to your advantage.
Keep Track of Your Sanity:
The further you venture into the Ghost Frontier, the more you will be affected by its supernatural forces. Your sense of reality may begin to fray as hallucinations and nightmares set in. Pay attention to the signs of mental distress—your mind and body are just as vulnerable as your physical form, and the frontier has a way of exploiting both.
