About This Game
The Axis Unseen is a heavy metal horror game created by one of the developers of Skyrim and Fallout.
Hunt monsters from folklore in a mysterious open world. Discover enhanced sense powers, elemental arrows, magical abilities and journals from people who came to this world before you. Almost all of the UI exists in the world itself.
Beware, the hunter is also the hunted.
There is a demo for The Axis Unseen and all progress from the demo carries forward seamlessly to the main game.
Reviews/Accolades
“A knockout indie entry in gaming.” – TechRaptor
“Just Purkey Games has made something special… You’re off the edge of the map. Here be dragons. But if you play it right, the scariest thing in this world might just be you.” -Shacknews
“The Axis Unseen is the most Skyrim-like game I’ve played since Skyrim… stripped back and filtered through the likes of Elden Ring and Praey for the Gods.” – The Escapist
The Axis Unseen can be played both as a stealth game or as an intense action game, depending on your personal style and preference.
For people who want a less hardcore experience, the difficulty can be changed at any time and there is even a pacifist mode where you can take pictures of the creatures to unlock things instead. For an extra challenge, there is a permadeath mode.
The Axis Unseen is a game all about immersion and discovery. Almost all of the UI exists on your bow and hands. Creatures will track you with sight, sound and smell and and have specific weaknesses.
You have to check your quiver to see how many arrows you have. Tattoos on your hand light up to show your health and active powers. Your bow shows how much energy you have collected from the creatures you have killed and how much sound you are making.
Can you uncover the mysteries of this world and how to defeat the creatures?
You also have a safe area where all of the monsters, powers, magic, equipment and map sections that you find unlock sculptures and a 3d version of the map to look at to help you navigate the world. You can also use this space to seamlessly fast travel around the world without ever needing to open a menu.
Note: If you have an AMD card and are experiencing crashes on startup, reinstall your drivers without the optional Radeon software. This is a general Unreal 5/AMD issue and it can causes crashes. This is outside of my control. RivaTuner can also causes crashes.
