Europe, 2024 – If you're looking for a horror experience that takes you to the edge of sanity, The Voidness may just be your next big nightmare. Released on Steam and currently available with a 30% discount as part of the Steam Scream Fest and daily deal, The Voidness introduces players to a pitch-black alien world where survival depends on a single piece of equipment: a LIDAR scanner. This device, your only way to navigate and "see," becomes both a lifeline and a source of dread as you try to escape a terrifying alien landscape. The game has just received a big update, including full controller support and the addition of Steam achievements!
The Voidness starts by throwing you into an alien world shrouded in complete darkness. Unlike typical horror games where you have a flashlight or night vision, The Voidness makes you rely entirely on a LIDAR scanner. Each pulse of the scanner sends out dots of light that illuminate parts of your surroundings, but only briefly. As you walk, the environment is mapped in these transient dots, making the landscape around you hauntingly incomplete.
This unique approach to "seeing" creates an experience that is both beautiful and terrifying. The scanner only reveals what you need to see to get by – sometimes just the edge of a cliff, an alien structure, or the vague outline of a pathway. With every scan, you feel like you’re creating a map, but it’s never enough to give you full comfort. And this is exactly where The Voidness shines.
Beware the Invisible Enemies
Adding to the intensity of navigating an alien world in darkness is the presence of invisible enemies. These creatures lurk silently, and while you may not see them, they are always listening. And here’s the twist: they can detect sounds from your microphone! The in-game AI responds to real-world noises, meaning that if you accidentally let out a gasp, a mutter, or even shuffle too loudly, they’ll pick up on it. This terrifyingly immersive feature keeps players on edge, making silence crucial to survival.
These creatures stalk the landscape unseen, their exact forms and locations unknown. The only hints you get are the faint sounds they make when approaching. And when they do approach, silence is your only ally.
New Updates for Steam Scream Fest
To celebrate the Steam Scream Fest daily deal, The Voidness has released a major update! With full controller support, players can now enjoy the experience on their favorite gamepads, creating smoother, more immersive gameplay. The addition of Steam achievements adds another layer of challenge, rewarding players for feats like mastering survival techniques, escaping with minimal scans, or reaching certain distances undetected. These new features enhance gameplay, adding more ways to explore the void while keeping the terrifying atmosphere intact.
With these updates, The Voidness offers a richer, more challenging experience for new players and horror veterans alike. The game has been refined to support different playstyles, allowing for more personalized scares and making survival a rewarding achievement of its own.
Grab The Voidness at 30% Off – If You Dare
Now is the perfect time to pick up The Voidness, with a 30% discount during Steam’s Scream Fest. Dive into an alien world of darkness, where every scan could be your last. Whether you're new to horror games or looking for an experience that goes beyond jump scares, The Voidness provides a psychological horror that few games achieve.
The Voidness isn’t just a game – it’s a test of endurance, wit, and nerve. Will you survive the shadows, escape the planet, and make it back home, alive? Only one way to find out: silence your surroundings, steady your breath, and enter The Voidness – if you dare.
