Story

Excarnate is a roguelike boomer shooter set in an alternate past. Players pursue perfection while battling through an underground lab filled with hybrid creatures and lethal traps. The goal is to survive, defeat the monsters, and uncover why they are in the lab and what their past is.

  • Theme Excarnate is about a man trapped between science and faith, chasing perfection through pain. In an alternate past biolab, his search for redemption becomes a struggle for identity torn between man and machine, creation and curse.
  • Tone & Atmosphere: Excarnate traps players in a suffocating, decaying world where every step feels both intimate and doomed. The atmosphere blends rusted machinery with living flesh, creating a space that feels as alive as it is dying. Each encounter pushes the protagonist deeper into madness, blurring the line between man and machine. What begins as confusion descends into horror, ending in a bleak revelation of self.
