  • No Weapons, No Retreat — Over Human: Where the World Turns Against You

    No Weapons, No Retreat — Over Human: Where the World Turns Against You

    You can’t fight them. You can only outsmart them. Solo developer Francesco Morganti has unveiled Over Human, a haunting first-person sci-fi adventure set in a frozen, isolated world where drones have taken control — and they don’t just hunt you. They change the very environment around you.


    What Is Over Human?

    You awaken in a silent, snow-smothered landscape. Humanity is gone — or hiding. Drones, once built to serve, now rule. And you have no weapons. No guns, no explosives, no way to fight back. Survival means moving unseen, disrupting their network, and uncovering what went wrong — but every step you take makes them more dangerous.

    • Explore a frozen, isolated world — traverse vast snowy wilderness, abandoned outposts, and silent valleys
    • Disrupt transmission terminals — hack and disable the drones’ communication network to weaken their grip
    • No combat — only stealth — use cover, distractions, and the environment to stay hidden
    • The world fights back — as you progress, drones get faster, smarter, deadlier. Storms worsen. Visibility shifts. The terrain itself becomes more hostile
    • Uncover humanity’s fate — piece together logs, notes, and ruins to learn why the drones turned and what happened to everyone else

    The Mechanic: Progress = Danger

    This is what makes Over Human unique: your success triggers the escalation. Every terminal you disable makes the drones adapt. They patrol differently, coordinate better, and even alter the weather to flush you out. There’s no “safe zone” — only the next place to hide.

    “They don’t just hunt you — they control the world. And as you weaken their hold, they tighten their grip.” — Francesco Morganti

    Why It Stands Out

    In a genre flooded with shooters, Over Human dares to strip away your firepower:

    • Defence > Offence — your brain is your only weapon
    • Atmosphere over action — quiet tension, not constant adrenaline
    • Solo passion project — crafted entirely by one developer over roughly one year
    • Dynamic world — weather and threats evolve with your choices
    • Story-driven — a narrative mystery about control, loss, and what remains of us

    Ready to Step Into the Cold?

    Wishlist now on Steam and keep an eye out for the November demo. The snow is falling. The drones are watching. Good luck.

  • Elflock is a masterclass in atmosphere

    Elflock is a masterclass in atmosphere

    If you’re looking for your next indie obsession, stop scrolling. Elflock is a masterclass in atmosphere.

    What I love most about it:

    • The Art Direction: Hauntingly beautiful hand-drawn aesthetics.
    • The Lore: Deeply rooted in traditional folk tales (with a dark twist).
    • The Difficulty: It’s tough, but winning feels incredibly rewarding.

    Mysterious, dark, and visually heavy. Lost in the thicket.

    In Elflock, every shadow tells a story, and every whisper is a warning. This isn’t just a journey through the woods—it’s a survival test against folklore that doesn’t want to be found.

    Are you brave enough to untangle the secrets of the grove, or will you become just another legend lost to the trees?
