Startup studio Bleakmill has shared a trailer confirming that its upcoming first-person shooter, INDUSTRIA, will be released on September 30 via Steam and GOG. Set during the end of the Cold War Era in 1989, the game begins in East Berlin. After receiving a goodbye message, the main character goes searching for a missing colleague. Upon discovering a portal in a secret research facility, she is transported to another dimension. In this strange, surreal, steampunk-styled reality, players will battle humanoid robot creatures as they unravel the mystery of what has become of her friend.

INDUSTRIA creators David Jungnickel and Steve Chapman were inspired by notable games such as Silent Hill, Half-Life 2, and Portal. The game has been in development for over six years by a small team. It was originally planned for Q1 2021.

About Us

We, David Jungnickel from Berlin and Steve Chapman from Glasgow, first met each other back in 2014. Working in a big team, we soon decided to do our own passion project: INDUSTRIA. It started as a Silent-Hill-like, was an undefinded horror indie game for some time and became a fleshed our first-person shooter set in a steampunk world. As we both have a past in modding, especially in the Source Engine, a strong similarity to big names like Half-Life 2 and Portal naturaly developed itself over the years. Getting supported by our composer Lukas Zepf, as well as a character animator and several voice actors, INDUSTRIA is on a good way to be released in Q1 2021.

As a child of the 70’s I was part of the many who became enthralled by the video arcade invasion of the 1980’s. Saving money from various odd jobs I purchased my first computer from a friend of my dad, a used Atari 400, around 1982. Eventually it would end up being a lifelong passion of upgrading and modifying equipment that, of course, led into a career in IT support.
