Dead Static Drive will mix elements of driving gameplay with cosmic horror, as you play as a traveller who must navigate an apocalyptic environment.
Its tagline reads: “Grab your bat, steal a car, and take your chances against the unearthly horrors found along Route 666. Your family needs you alive.”
Australian company Fanclub are developing the game, which has already generated a lot of positive buzz online.
Game developer Mike Blackney has described it as “Grand Theft Cthulhu”, a nod to the hideous beast imagined by science fiction writer HP Lovecraft.
In Lovecraft’s short story “The Call of Cthulhu”, Chtulhu is a cosmic entity that resembles a mix between an octopus, a dragon and a human.
Dead Static Drive was due to be released this February, although no date has been confirmed.
