I Am Your Beast (2024)
I Am Your Beast is a shortform covert revenge thriller FPS about getting hunted across the North American wilderness by the military-industrial complex — and turning the tables. You are secret agent Alphonse Harding. Retired for six years, you've been asked to complete ‘one last job’, one too many times. Declining your latest mission sets in motion a furious guerilla war between you and the Covert Operations Initiative (COI) that litters the forest with bodies and bullet casings. Break your opponents. Use their own equipment against them. Duck into your tunnel network before enemy forces zero in on your location. Repeat. Features Lightning-fast 'he's-in-the-walls' player fantasy, complete with superhuman tree climbing and head explosions. Fully voiced story campaign with 20+ levels. Lush comic book-inspired art style. Chase side objectives while getting the fastest times possible in replayable micro-sandboxes. Wield pistols, sniper rifles, bear traps, and more. Heart-slamming soundtrack from award-winning composer RJ Lake (Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, Unbeatable, El Paso, Elsewhere). Innovative 'kinetic typography' cutscene system.

Content Notes
I Am Your Beast uses stylized graphic violence — you'll see hyperbolic amounts of comic book-style blood splatter, head explosions, ragdoll deaths, and melee-type bludgeoning.
