PQube (London, UK) – 18th May 2022 – PQube and developer Playstark are pleased to release the second of the Steam Early Access updates to roguelite shooter Die After Sunset! As of right now, gamers can enjoy an entirely new way to play with a brand-new character. ‘Hune’ is the third character players can choose to battle against the Murkor hordes!

Die After Sunset is a 3rd person roguelite with a unique light and darkness mechanic; enemies get stronger in the shadows! In a race against the inevitable sunset, it’s up to you to tool up with an astonishing array of items, gadgets and weapons to help you take down colossal Murkor bosses! But remember, death is not the end – for every defeat will only make you stronger. Collect Mukus from the fallen Murkors and cash it in back at base to empower yourself for your next run!

The Backstory…

Hune was a brilliant young scientist who, despite her age, proved to be a true genius of technology and genetic engineering. To try and bolster their research, the Murkors kidnapped and forced her to work for them. When she wouldn’t comply, Hune became the research. The Murkors experimented on her body, building her to be a weapon to fight the humans. This quickly became their biggest regret, when Hune finally broke free and took her revenge…

Lasers, Lasers, Lasers….

When Hune was kidnapped, the Murkors experimented heavily with her body – installing lasers directly into her fingers. They didn’t realise that, on her release, she could use her new found weapons against them.

Missiles; maximum damage, minimal effort. 

Missiles were originally installed on Hune for the Murkors to demolish human infrastructure, now, they regret they ever experimented on her. Maximum damage over minimal time – Hune’s missiles take enemies out swiftly!

And now, you float. 

The Murkors have always been interested in bending the fabric of earth’s gravity. Their first experiments were on Hune. While they learned a lot, once Hune broke free from their labs, she used her new found gravity ability against them. 

Breaking space and time…

Teleportation has been a key to the Murkors’ invasion of earth. Stupidly, they handed those keys directly over to the humans when Hune broke out – giving her the ability to cover ground instantly. 

There’s even more to come!

We will be adding new levels, items, missions and constantly tweaking Die After Sunset with the help of community feedback. Join our Discord to give your feedback and help shape the future of development! 

The Final Level – New Missions – New Murkor – Fixes – Item Balancing

In June, you’ll go head-to-head with NegaMurk…
The alien creature that is responsible for the attack on Earth. Take on the game’s final boss in a brand new level that’ll test your skills to the limits.  To make matters worse, a brand new Murkor-type plagues the map. Luckily, you’ll have a new batch of missions to help power yourself up to help tackle this new infestation!

After receiving a photograph of missing twin girls in the mail, it’s up to you – Caroline Walker – to find them. Your investigation leads you to Winterlake, an abandoned mansion turned into a hospital. Things quickly go from bad to worse when you’re suddenly hit over the head and wake up naked in a bathroom attached to machinery. Who put you here? And why? It’s up to you, to unravel the mysteries of Winterlake. 

‘Tormented Souls’ is a return to the classic era of fixed perspective horror survival games – inspired by games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Solve puzzles and explore the depths of Winterlake, but always be aware of your surroundings – you’re not alone in the dark.

WELCOME TO WINTERLAKE

Led to the small, isolated town of Winterlake, something terrible happens to Caroline Walker. Waking in the dead of night, naked and alone, hooked up to decrepit medical equipment, Caroline must fight for her life as she explores the halls of the abandoned mansion.

As the previous inhabitants run amok, you must scavenge essential resources and tools to decipher clues and create a variety of weapons to protect yourself from the darkness within.

YOU ARE NEVER ALONE IN THE DARK

The mansion may seem desolate and abandoned, but the deeper you venture, the more overwhelming the horrors within become.

From terrifying atrocities to vile disembowelled crawlers prowling the halls, these tormented medical monsters aren’t the only dangers that Caroline must face. There are also darker threats at play – quite literally. Early on, you are warned not to let the shadows embrace you…

KEEP YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU

Nothing is quite as it seems in Winterlake. Cleverly combine items and scour your surroundings for clues as you face cryptic and unusual puzzles scattered throughout the grounds of the mansion.

Mirrors provide a gateway to another place and time – investigate even the seemingly mundane to discover ways to manipulate the very fabric of reality and seek your escape.
