Conspiratorial Horror/Survival Games
Conspiratorial Horror/Survival is the atmosphere in which Wastelands of Damnation is played. We have designed a game which takes place in a world which is a darker, more dangerous and deadly place than our own world would ever be. There are supernatural creatures and things we just can't comprehend lurking around every corner. Vampires meet and mingle, plotting against each other and other creatures that lurk in the night while Werewolves and other Shapeshifters battle it out in their own secret war. Mages and other magic users exist and do what they can to further their studies in protecting mankind from the onslaught of other supernatural creatures. Feel free to check out our gaming titles which are made in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Elements & Themes
Horror/Survival is a subgenre of action-adventure games inspired by Horror Fiction. Although combat can be a part of the gameplay, the player is made to feel less powerful than in typical action games, because of limited ammunition, health, speed or other limitations. The player is also challenged to find items that unlock the path to new areas, and solve puzzles at certain locations. Games make use of strong horror themes, and the player is often challenged to navigate dark maze-like environments and to react to unexpected attacks from enemies.

Another element of our game is Horror Fiction ; a genre intended to frighten its readers, scare or startle readers by inducing feelings of horror and terror. It creates and eerie and frightening atmosphere. Supernatural horor has its roots in folklore and religious traditions focusing on death, the afterlife, evil, the demonic and the principle of evil embodied in the Devil. These were manifested in stories of witches, vampires, werewolves, ghosts and demonic pacts.

Our final Theme we utilize is Conspiracy, which is a subgenre of Thriller Fiction. The protagonists of Conspiracy Thrillers are characters who find themselves (often inadvertantly) pulling on a small thread which unravels a vast conspiracy that ultimately "goes all the way to the top". The complexities of historical fact are recast as a morality play in which bad people casue bad events and good people identify them and defeat them. Conspiracies are often played out as "man-in-peril" stories. A common theme in such works is that characters uncovering the conspiracy encounter difficulty ascertaining the truth amid the deceptions: rumors, lies, propaganda, and counter-propaganda build upon one another until what is conspiracy and what is coincidence become entangled.
