Do you like the Sisters of Battle from Warhammer 40,000? How about the birdseye sci-fi survival horror of Signalis? The roguelite progression of Void Bastards? The whole vibe of Event Horizon? If at least three of those things seem like your cup of recaf, then sit down and let me tell you about Void Martyrs.
This recently announced work of survival horror from indie studio Mac N Cheese Games will send you, a “nun in a space suit”, into abandoned spaceships and cathedral-esque space stations that have been taken over by a biomechanical zombie plague. It’s your holy mission to recover a relic from the heart of each location, though if you die on this great work take comfort in the knowledge another nun with a gun will be along shortly to pick up where you left off.
So yeah, it’s a roguelite with procedurally generated corridors full of zombies in which you’ll be scavenging ammo and crafting materials to make new weapons and gear to stave off the zombie plague with. There’s also a sanctity mechanic that will unlock “saintly or cursed items” based on decisions you make—looting corpses might lower it, while sanctifying them would raise it—and stigmata that make you more “Godly” if you endure them.
Void Martyrs is basically just a Steam page at the moment, with a trailer there you can watch. (It hasn’t been uploaded to YouTube yet, so I can’t embed it here.) They’re aiming for an August release, and not planning to do so in early access.
