WHAT IS OPERATION: BLACK GENESIS?

Operation: Black Genesis — The Immortal Trials is a 1–4 player top-down tactical horror shooter set inside a quarantined medical district where experimental immortality trials transformed patients into biological horrors.

Players operate as a specialized military fireteam sent into the containment zone after a mysterious survivor emerges from the district carrying impossible medical data… and claiming she was cured.

Inside the quarantine, reality is unstable.

The infected remember fragments of who they once were.

And something beneath the city is still alive.

THE JUNE ALPHA — WHAT TO EXPECT

The upcoming Alpha is focused on delivering the core Black Genesis experience.

Players will enter the quarantine zone for the first time and experience:

• Tactical co-op gameplay

• Instanced horror interiors

• Psychological exposure mechanics

• Loadout preparation

• Resource scarcity and survival pressure

This Alpha is about atmosphere, tension, and survival.

We want players to feel:

• under-informed,

• vulnerable,

• hunted,

• and never fully certain what’s real.

THE QUARANTINED ZONE

The world of Black Genesis is built around a massive quarantined district filled with:

• abandoned hospitals,

• collapsed research facilities,

• military checkpoints,

• underground facilities,

• emergency camps,

• and long-forgotten experiment sites.

INSTANCED HORROR LOCATIONS

Every mission can lead you deep into highly dangerous interior zones:

• laboratories,

• underground complexes,

• military facilities,

• Experimental treatment chambers.

These locations are designed around:

• claustrophobic firefights,

• limited visibility,

• sound-based tension,

• close-quarter combat,

• resource scarcity,

• and psychological instability.

You are not clearing dungeons.

You are entering places where reality broke.

TACTICAL CO-OP SURVIVAL

This is not an arcade shooter.

Weapons matter. Positioning matters. Ammo matters.

The Alpha includes:

• pistols,

• shotguns,

• assault rifles,

• grenades,

• recoil management,

• reload management,

• stamina systems,

• stress systems,

• and optional friendly fire.

Players can choose any weapon loadout before deployment.

No class restrictions.

No MMO-style roles.

Your survival depends on coordination and decision making.

Panic gets squads killed.

HORROR THAT GETS INSIDE YOUR HEAD

Black Genesis is built around psychological horror systems designed to constantly destabilize the player.

During missions, players may experience:

• audio hallucinations,

• environmental anomalies,

• prop physics events

ENEMY TYPES

The Alpha introduces several terrifying enemy categories including:

FERAL MUTANTS

Fast-moving infected with aggressive pack behavior.

DISTORTED BRUTES

Massive biological horrors capable of breaking barriers and overwhelming squads.

REMNANT MINDS

Failed subjects retaining fragments of memory and emotional response.

RITUAL ABERRATIONS

Rare nightmare-class entities tied directly to the deepest layers of the Black Genesis experiments.

And this is only the beginning.
