Trench Face (v2025.12.18)

A ruined battlefield becomes a claustrophobic maze of mud, corpses, and impossible shapes drifting overhead in this harsh alternate-history survival horror RPG. You awaken after a battle with no memory of the disaster, separated from your fellow soldier and surrounded by evidence that ordinary warfare has given way to something far worse. Trench Face builds dread through isolation rather than constant action: every abandoned bunker, broken supply cache, and distant movement suggests answers are waiting, but reaching them may cost more than you can afford.

Survival revolves around cautious scavenging, route planning, and deliberate turn-based encounters where a single bad decision can leave you helpless. Attacks use timing-based inputs, while firearms let you target specific body parts, allowing careful players to disable threats or spread a limited burst across several weak points. Ammunition and healing supplies disappear quickly, so discarded materials matter; scraps can be turned into useful gear when the next cache fails to appear. Stealth is often the smarter option, since hostile patrols follow different behaviors and combat becomes a commitment once it begins—there is no easy retreat after drawing attention.

The strongest feature is the tension between RPG-style tactical fights and a survival-horror mindset that rewards avoiding those fights altogether. Its trenches hide locked rooms, shortcuts, puzzle-like enemy solutions, and resources that encourage thorough exploration without making brute-force aggression viable. The visual premise of hanging figures stalking a war-torn no-man’s-land gives the setting a distinct nightmare-war atmosphere, closer in spirit to old-school resource survival horror than an action shooter. Trench Face suits players who enjoy managing scarcity, learning enemy patterns, and uncovering unsettling mysteries at a measured pace; newcomers should expect a punishing learning curve, while genre veterans will appreciate its tactical pressure.
