Developer Game Island and publisher Toplitz Productions are pleased to announce that their exciting first-person survival adventure game, SERUM, will launch on PC via Steam Early Access on May 23rd. SERUM promises an intense, heart-pounding adventure that uncovers a spine-tingling conspiracy amidst a mutagen pandemic in a world left in ruin. Players must harness their determination and will to survive to navigate the environment, find sources of serum, and craft the means to endure.

A Personal Message: I'm excited to share the latest on SERUM, a first-person survival adventure game developed by Game Island and published by Toplitz Productions. Having tested the early demo, participated in the playtest, and closely followed both teams, I've become a genuine fan of what they're creating. Now, with the Early Access launch just around the corner, I can't wait to see what's in store!

Head over to Steam, Wishlist, Follow and Play the Demo`

Dive into a thrilling survival adventure where an unknown liquid takes control of your life. Extract Serum to stay alive, battle dangerous creatures, solve puzzles, and uncover clues about past events. Find your way out alone or in a 4-player co-op mode.

Story: Imagine waking up in a world overrun by a mysterious toxic substance with a strange device attached to your arm. Will you gather the courage to explore and survive, or simply wait for your demise? One thing is clear: you need Serum to prolong your life. How you find it is up to you.

Find shelter, search for new technology, craft your equipment and modify weapons to protect yourself, and try to reach places where this precious substance is waiting to be gathered. But be warned: Serum can alter your body in unexpected ways.

Remember: Life is in your hands!



Key Features:

  • A Mysterious World to Explore: Unravel the mystery of SERUM and find your way out while exploring different biomes and their unique characteristics. Find clues about past events and use the newfound wisdom to survive while experiencing beautiful graphics delivered with the power of Unreal Engine 5.
  • Gather, Hunt & Farm: Figure out how to create new tools, traps, and weapons. Gather Serum from animals and plants and expand your safe zone to create a sustainable source of the substance. Prepare wisely for your next excursion to ensure it won't be your last one.
  • Experiment with Different Formulas of Serum: Take advantage of a unique brewing mechanism that allows you to create various mixtures of Serum. Experiment with dozens of combinations and use them to enhance your abilities. Ensure you're carrying enough to get you out of a tough spot.
  • Fight Your Way Out: Clash with various creatures using a multitude of weapons: melee, ranged, and throwing, including spears, bows, and clubs. Use Serum to infuse and modify your weapons and gain the upper hand against mutated abominations that roam the island.
  • Defy the Odds: Endure in a hostile environment under the pressure of time. Manage your health, and stamina, and beware of Serum side effects. Survive alone or with a friend in online co-op mode.

Gameplay Insights: Survivors will need to carefully manage their resources while keeping an eye on the passage of time as it continually ebbs away. The toxic mist blanketing parts of the landscape is a chilling reminder of the catastrophic impact on the environment. Survival isn't guaranteed unless players can harness resources and cultivate an existence in this fragile but lethal world.

This follows its standout performance at February's Steam Next Fest, where it ranked among the top 50 most-played demos and secured an impressive 17th place among the most-followed demos during the event.
