We Kill Monsters

About

You play as a Husk exploring The Shell, a massive pit beneath the dying city of Edinu. Your main job is to hunt Angels while gathering food, weapons, and supplies needed to survive each layer. You can travel alone or team up with other players to cover more ground. The game features an open world where you navigate large structures and use context clues to track your targets. When you need a break, you can set up camp anywhere to cook, sleep, or play guitar with friends around a fire. The multiplayer aspect lets you enter other players' realities through Primordial Fountains found throughout the map. This creates moments of shared exploration where you might join strangers for a quick hunt or stick together for the long haul. Players often comment on how the quiet atmosphere and the feeling of being small in such a huge world make the hunt feel personal. The co-op mode adds a layer of trust since you rely on each other to survive the deeper, darker layers of the pit.

Storyline

In their search for Heaven, they found nothing. Thrown into The Shell, homunculi are made to explore and hunt within the massive pit below their birthplace, the Dying City of Edinu. The only hope for the city lies through the use of Primordial Fluid, the blood flowing through The Shell. With most of the accessible fluid within the first several layers being extracted, homunculi must travel deeper using The Great Elevator. This elevator of unknown origin stretches to an undetermined depth and can only be powered through an immense output of energy, such as the death of an Angel. Upon entering a new layer, a homunculi's main goal is to hunt the Angel, following its various tracks and using context clues to determine its location. Each layer of The Shell is expansive and open. This allows homunculi to navigate freely using large structures and various navigation tools. While hunting Angels, you’ll need to explore for items, food, weapons, clothing, and equipment in order to survive. The journey is long and it’s important to rest. Set up camp anywhere at any time in order to cook, sleep, trade items, sit around the fire, or play a bit of guitar with friends. Travel alone or with fellow Husks. Throughout The Shell are Primordial Fountains. Homunculi can use these fountains to travel the void and enter other’s reality. Join friends and strangers on their travels and hunts, whether it be for a brief moment or the entire journey.
