Othercide is developed by Lightbulb Crew, an independent video game studio located in both France and Sweden. The studio counts with talented and passionate game developers, the studio has at heart to create “new, fun and challenging experiences”.

Focus Home Interactive has shared Othercide’s official description:

Combat is an intricate dance of spectacular actions and counters: using the Dynamic Timeline System, plan ahead of time and set up impressive chains of abilities to outsmart and outdamage the enemy. Fight in epic boss battles against the sources of Suffering – dread creatures pulled from the worst of Humanity’s crimes against itself.

Each world-shattering boss bring their own twist to a tale told through fleeting memories solidifying to a full, tragic narrative about the Mother and how this dreaded reality came to pass. Your prowess in combat will decide the fate of your Daughters, shape their abilities and personality.

Cowardice will be punished, barely surviving will leave scars, and particularly efficient dispatching of the creatures sent against you will be rewarded, permanently affecting their stats. Memories, obtained from re-enacting the actions of their progenitor, change and improve each skill through customization, making your army truly your own.

Inevitably, you’ll need to make the toughest decision and sacrifice one of your Daughters to heal another – survivors will get stronger, ready to fight the next battle. You will fight. You will fall. You will rise again.
