VG Entertainment is a relatively new studio made up of some of the original core team behind the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl game. The studio has just announced its new project called Forest Reigns, a single-player FPS game set in Paris, which has been overrun by a mutant forest and deadly creatures.
According to the studio, Forest Reigns is a combination of deep exploration, survival, role-playing, tactical shooting combat, and using the interactive environment to aid you throughout the game.
The trailer showcases this unique approach as the player can shoot what looks like a plant bulb in order to form cover and avoid enemy fire by hiding behind it. Another shot shows how some plants have reflective armour which ricochets bullets when shot. There are also a few abilities the player can use, including throwing polluted grenades at enemies which cause the plants to attack them.
Players can also customise their gear to suit a certain play style. Weapons come with various perks and effectiveness. VG Entertainment says the game also offers a non-linear narrative. The story is determined by the decisions players make and the missions they take on.
At the moment, Forest Reigns is still in early development. The Steam page is live so you can wishlist the game in the time being.
