Gameforge and indie developer Nordic Trolls are excited to reveal their new title: Under a Rock, coming to PC via Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles. In this open-world survival craft game, players must build, craft, and explore to survive and succeed on a colorful but mysterious and perilous island.
Walk the path of an early nineteenth-century explorer, recently stranded in an exotic and strange new land. A world draped in mysteries once thought lost to time, this land experienced completely different evolutionary paths, with exotic creatures roaming dangerously.
Survivors can build a base, explore dark caves, swim through underwater environments, and traverse a diverse surface world, facing a myriad of unique challenges and discovering much-needed resources. Players must fish, fight, farm, craft, and more as they build their new island base and hope to fight off the forces of nature and terrifying curses.
Under a Rock utilizes procedural level generation to offer a new gameplay experience every playthrough. With multiplayer co-op available for more than 10 people and a deeply diverse character creator, players can look forward to surviving a vast new world of fearsome flora and fauna together.
“Under a Rock is a unique new take on the open-world survival-craft genre,” said Noemi Feller, Vice President of Products at Gameforge. “The procedural generation means each playthrough is a new experience, and the ability to build and explore with up to 10 friends will make for some unpredictable and dynamic gameplay.”
“We’re thrilled to have partnered with Gameforge to help bring this dream of ours to life,” said Thorbjoern Olsen, CEO and Co-founder of Nordic Trolls. “We’re incredibly dedicated to living up to everyone’s excitement in making this an extremely fun, if not chaotic, multiplayer experience for players to really enjoy.”
