March 26, 2015 - 10:01pm
In Posthuman you play as one of the last human survivors in a world where nature is reclaiming the planet and our mutated offspring are working to eradicate us. Will you resist mutation and survive, or give in to the inevitable and join the mutants?Posthuman takes place in a post apocalyptic world where there are few human survivors, limited resources, and dangerous mutants. Players start as human characters racing through ten different zones to see who will be first to reach to a rumored fortress which holds a group of survivors. They will need to feed, forage for resources, and fight off mutants to make it to the end. Encounters with dangerous mutants along the way will add scars to the players' characters. Scars are recorded in the form of cards and some of the scar cards have mutations on them. After collecting 3 and 4 of these non-empty scar cards the players will make a choice to either remain human or turn into a mutant, if 5 non-empty cards are collected then the player has no choice but to turn mutant. Once turned mutant players will work as a team to work against the human players and if they manage to turn all the human players the mutant team wins the game however the last player to turn into a mutant automatically looses. Players start the game either choosing a default character set up or creating one using the character creation process. The character creation process allows them to choose different stats like Strength, Mind (intelligence), Speed, Melee Combat, and Ranged Combat. Then they will choose skills from a selection determined by the mind stat. Players then purchase starting items (or choose the default if not going through character creation) using food as currency. After their characters are created they are ready to start the game.
