The largest Bootstrap Island update to date adds a huge foe! 

Tallinn, Estonia, 7th November 2024 – The realistic VR survival game Bootstrap Island is proud to announce the launch of its next major update! Adding new challenges, gameplay features and more, the Overlord Update is free to all current Bootstrap Island owners.

Adding a brand-new component into this survival experience, for the first time survivors will face the fearsome Jungle Overlord. A towering beast found within the depths of the island’s interior, the Jungle Overlord knows the terrain and can easily utilise the surroundings to gain the advantage. Survivors must be prepared, ensuring their equipment is well-maintained to take on this powerful foe.  

The major update also includes a variety of gameplay enhancements. Unlock the “Boots” to make traversing the island even quicker and be careful storing your food for too long. Spoiling food now becomes a very real and troublesome problem as it can no longer be eaten. 

“We are happy to offer a first real challenge for the talented survivors who have already mastered the basics of “Bootstrap Island”. The first boss monster in the game will be a massive beast, but he is also agile and cunning,” says Rein Zobel, Creative Director, Maru VR. Defeating him will require skill and planning, as ill-equipped players will only find death in his dark lair.”

KEY UPDATE FEATURES

• Jungle Overlord – A terrifying Ape who rules the island
• Dark Lair – A formidable new area that can only be traversed by fighting the Jungle Overlord
• Spoiling – Food will spoil and become inedible unless cooked
• Day Counter – The current day appears atop the Volcano each morning
• Boots – Unlock and equip boots to increase walking and running speed

The Bootstrap Island “Overlord Update” is available now. Available through Steam Early Access since 22nd February 2024, Bootstrap Island’s full release is planned for late 2025.

Get your hands on VED’s first chapter entirely for free, ahead of the RPG’s launch on November 14th

Prague, Czech Republic – November 6, 2024  – Fulqrum Publishing and Karaclan are delighted to bring you a very early Christmas present – as they are offering the prologue to the upcoming RPG VED, VED: Purification – which is completely free to all players, as of today!

Featuring stunning hand-drawn art and animation, turn-based combat mechanics and roguelite elements, VED is an RPG that tells the story of Cyrus, a young hero who sets out on a quest to become a master of sword and magic and save everything he knows from destruction. 

Available for free from today on Steam, VED: Purification offers players the chance to experience the first chapter of the game, so that they can get to grips with the game’s world and mechanics, without spoiling the full story for themselves, before the final game releases on November 14th on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox consoles, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and GoG.

The events of VED: Purification are set 30 years prior to the narrative of VED, following a different character, a Vedic warrior by the name of Dook, who fell in love with a magical being. But as the Vedic order is sworn to keep the magical and the mundane worlds separate, eliminating any semblance of magic from the human world, theirs is certainly a complicated love story; and it’s up to you to decide how it will end…

The game’s full launch on  November 14th will see Cyrus set off on his journey, exploring a world inspired by diverse cultures and mythologies. Throughout Cyrus’s quest, he will encounter various factions that have different views on the events taking place. By helping inhabitants from magical lands and the human world, Cyrus will learn more about himself, both universes, and, most importantly, how to save them all… or become their doom.

About VED

• A non-linear story where every decision can lead to irreversible consequences and alternative endings; a single playthrough will not be enough to experience all VED has to offer.
• Several factions have different views on the events taking place. A dynamic system of relationships will allow you to influence the decisions of key characters.
• Innovative turn-based battle system. Use your positioning effectively to gain an advantage.
• Build a village for yourself and your allies to unlock new skills and abilities.
• A system of unique interactive events that impose curses or blessings on the hero, which may last until the end of the game.
• The game features an eclectic soundtrack that will accompany you on your adventure, spanning symphonic, folk, and hip-hop genres.

VED: Purification is available to download today, and the full game will be launching on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox consoles and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and GoG on November 14th
