Meteor shower. Stop. People are dying. Stop. Send help. Stop.
The 2001 first-person 3D shooter Venom: Codename Outbreak, a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. spiritual predecessor by GSC Game World, is now available DRM-free on GOG.com for Windows.
You are sent to investigate the site of a meteor shower that left no survivors – after the scientists, followed by a military squad, disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Could it be aliens, or just a form of mass psychosis? That’s for you to find out.
In Codename Outbreak your squad will be a very candid affair – just you and another soldier to watch your back. Fortunately, everyone on base is the best of the best and the AI of the game’s NPCs got many a word of praise, so you shouldn’t have to worry too much about them not doing their job. Should something start to go wrong, you can easily switch characters and take control of your partner – or play through the missions with a friend in 2-player LAN co-op mode. Sometimes, this will be one of the keys to getting through a mission alive.
Try to solve the mystery of the valley showered with meteors in Venom: Codename Outbreak DRM-free at GOG.com – and most of all, try to get back alive.
What does the press say?
“Crawling across the forest floor to tag a one-shot kill on a guard whose head was barely visible in a tower at 186 meters is a thrill unlike any other.” — GameSpy
“Outbreak seems almost surreally whimsical in its treatment of a special forces vs. alien conflict.” — Game Over Online
“Codename: Outbreak is a fun game. Especially the later missions in the campaign which are particularly atmospheric and intense, requiring careful picking of character skills and meticulous execution of strategies.” — Play.tm
