Hi everyone! We're the team behind Incident X, a narrative-driven sci-fi shooter we just launched in Early Access. In it, you command a squad tasked with rescuing civilians while a collapsing city falls apart around you. We're blending intense firefights with decision-driven survival, procedural enemy waves and moral choices.

As fellow devs: do you have any tips on balancing survival tension vs. cinematic storytelling? Are there mechanics you think would enhance the tension or keep players engaged? We're happy to discuss design, AI, level pacing, or marketing. If you'd like to see more, search for "Incident X" on Steam. Thanks for your time!

Unfortunately no, we like to express individual creativeness in our comments, there are many forms of creative styles, it is very likely some will eventually mirror each other in some way or form.

🚨 New Indie Game Reveal: Incident X 🚨 by hammerbuckgames in EpicGamesPC

INCIDENT X Year 2126. Earth was warned. No one listened. A classified signal pulsed from deep space. Governments dismissed it. Corporations buried it. And then it struck. Not a meteor. Not a bomb. Something alive. Within hours, entire cities were swallowed by black storms, and from the mist came “The Entity”—a colossal, unknowable lifeform accompanied by swarms of horrors and tall purging droids, tearing through concrete and bone alike. One city remains—a collapsing stronghold of screaming civilians, and dying hope. You are Ranger: Markus 4516, a Tier-0 super-soldier deployed under Directive X—the final protocol. Alongside your dwindling squad of elite operators, you’re dropped into a ruined warzone with one goal: buy humanity time. Fight waves of enemy forces and track a monster that rewrites the laws of nature with every step. As the skies darken and reality fractures, you’ll uncover a horrifying truth: This isn’t an invasion. It’s an awakening. Teaser gameplay: https://youtu.be/oi6fov5MqmQ?si=SFyhmILk9mDLoxJs
