A Terran Command Center...? What is it doing down here..? They all wondered, but they knew.... That it was not there for design purposes. There was something strange about this structure. Even though it was a Terran structure, they saw sever...

Many players will notice that there are always bushes, grasses, or things like that in almost everywhere of the game. These are called "Line of Sight(LOS)" blockers in the editor, and this things helps the Probes by providi...

item image

There are strange creatures throughout the game, and players will most likely see them as worthless, useless creatures only for designing purposes. But I tell you now. Not a single creature in this game is only for designing. Every single one of them...

item image

The beginning of a maze is always the same....

And yet.....

Why are we getting back here again..?

Are we....

...Lost..?

item image

Thanks to the hints, the Probes were able to figure out the puzzle. They found out that solving these puzzles gave them access to certain items, places, and much more. Just like the first puzzle they had with AbsTRaCTor. Filled with...

item image

The shock still remained inside their damaged hearts.

There was no ally.

There was no one but themselves....

To help them.

item image

In melee games, they give players access to new areas.

It is the same here as well.

item image

Looking through the tower.... Are we... Safe..?

item image

The starting point of the game. The probes gets "awakened" in a strange looking chamber they've never seen before. And they wonder.... Who am I..? Why am I here...? Why are WE here.....? Then a voice suddenly interrupts their thoughts.

"Welcom...

The enemy will always be watching you......

Waiting for the perfect moment....

Even though the preview version of the game has almost no story, the finished version of the game will have a LOT of story related things. But to give players how the story will go in the finished version, there IS one particular moment in the game w...

The Probes.... Were exhausted...

This was too much.

It was too hard......

They had no choice but to give up.

But......

They had no choice but to destroy the device in front of them.

In order to.....

Some players, will notice that there is an ability called "Cinematic Mode" in the Probes. This is purely for taking screenshots. By using it, players will be able to take screenshots wherever and whenever they want.

But.... Be warned. When usi...

Be careful when wandering around...

The enemy can always be near you....

All you have to do is listen.....

The music, sounds, will warn you, before it is too..... Late.

When coming to totally new areas you haven't seen before, be quick to know your surroundings.

The location of the nearest bushes for hiding,

The possible escape routes when facing an enemy,

and etc.....

item image

Hiding inside the darkness, shaking in fear, they felt a message. They did not receive it, but felt it. They heard a silent scream.... Inside their mechanical brains.

item image

The best thing you could try when approaching an object, is to attack it.

If nothing happens, destroy it.

If that doesn't do anything......

Then it means it is not an answer, or it means you got a wrong target.

item image

The horror.

They felt nothing but horror.

The designs..........

They were not........ Designs..... Not....

Anymore.....

item image

Entering the door of answers... We come across... A mystery...

The trees.

The darkness.

They don't know it yet....

But they'll be in there.....

Soon...

Where did the Creature go..? Did it give up the chase...?

When you face an enemy, and got into a corner.... What will you do...?

If there is nothing you can do to escape from death, you will have to let your probe get destroyed.

There will be scary moments throughout the game, which will not be scary to many people ;( , but be careful when facing one of these moments. Because.... No one knows what will going to happen when this moment occurs...

item image

They finally visit the real world outside.... Although they were forced to..... They find the world..... Beautiful.... But deadly....

item image

It came... It rushed towards us... It was fast... Dark... But weak.

item image

Dim Sum

item image

There are simple puzzles, which are hardly a puzzle at all, and there are REAL puzzles which requires brain power.

But when solving these "Puzzles," be careful to not lose your guard.

As the enemy is always looking for you....

A mystery... That cannot be solved...

item image

There is something that this environment tries to tell me........ But... Just what... What is it..?

item image

When an enemy is near you, the music of the game will suddenly change, telling you that danger is near.

When the enemy becomes visible to your eyes, it will let out many growling sounds.

When the enemy happens to see you......

Do...

item image

Thank you.........

Thank you very..... Much.....

The voice started to whisper once again. The Probes were happy.... That after all those troubles, they got the whisperer to be happy.

But did the voice really.......

item image

There are number of easter eggs that are hidden inside the game. Even in the preview version, some of the easter eggs are available. But in the preview version, most of them are purely for designing purposes.

There are no empty rooms..........

Your Eyes..... They deceive you...

Trust.... the sounds......

The environment......

The feelings....

Throughout the gameplay, some players will like to wander around a lot, which will sometimes bring them into unexpected places. These places look like they are only for designing purposes, but many of them have secret messages hidden within them. Mos...

They heard strange voices from their "heads." It was as if....... they were hearing voices of a ghost. A whisper. The voice was from an unknown source, and it started talking to them. In a weird way. But at some point, as time passe...

There are no unsolvable puzzles.

There is always..... A way....

Sometimes.... There are puzzles......

That you alone... cannot... solve.......

You must cooperate.....

item image

The Probe is staring at the Barracks. Why is this structure here? Why was it destroyed..? It starts to wonder.... Once again.

item image

Hi there. How are you doing? Are you lost? Or are you here because of the same reason that we have? Why..? Why won't you... Talk..?

item image

Everything's locked.... What do we do..?

item image

The Probes were not stupid. This was taking too long. She was talking for nearly more than 2 minutes. In a gameplay life, that was REALLY a LONG time especially if there was no action, no cinematics, or anything. The boredom...... The boredom... Thes...

The Probe in this screenshot is currently facing an unidentified Monolith. Resembling the Protoss Pylon, in a lot of ways. Will the Probe destroy it just like it always did in order to solve the puzzles? Or is it going to wait and see if something ha...

It may look beautiful and quiet.

It may sound peaceful and safe.

But...

There are those who hides..... Within the beauty itself.

item image

Without thinking, it is almost impossible to beat some puzzles.

Especially when facing a living key, such as the Scantipede in the screenshot.

They attack Probes, so it is impossible to get the key.

But it is impossible because w...

Scared..?

The darkness can be your worst enemy.....

But it can be....

...?! The sound. It was quiet until now. What is going on..? The Probes heard.... No. They felt something.... Something bad.... was going to happen. The feeling got intense by every passing second, and they heard a low growl....... A growl. ...

item image

There are moments in the game that doesn't give you hints or anything. It "just" leaves you there. With the enemy. And when facing this kind of situation, all you have to do is think back....

How did I solve the puzzles...?

Description

The Viacre - Chapter 01 [Probes]

Do you like creepy things, horror, or puzzle solving, or just finding mysteries....?

......

What will you do if you wake up in an unknown room, with no memories about yourself?

...

This map tells a story about the 7 probes waking up at an unknown research center called the "Param Value." An unknown voice whispers to them, giving them help.... But why..? The voice never reveals itself, but only helps the Probes from afar, by giving them hints and sending them messages. The operator of this place, AbsTRaCTor leaves the probes for a while, as she thinks that they will not find a way to escape. But as time goes by, she returns from her short journey, and gets shocked by the first thing she sees. Who is the unknown voice? Why is AbsTRaCTor not telling the probes about how they got here..? Who is the person called Aquash? And why is there a 'mechanical' soul wandering around the whole place..? It's all up to you....... to find out... The Truth.
