TheSameCoin gets hands on with the latest early access title available on Steam, Betrayer.
The wind bristles past my ears. It punctuates a serene world. A world without colour and devoid of life. The only noises heard are the groans of the enemy and the chitter of the invisible underbrush. This is the world of Betrayer, though I suppose you could proclaim it as the absence of a world.
Betrayer is a first person action/shooting/adventure game from Blackpowder Games which is in Early Access alpha on Steam. They have lineage in fantastic games like NOLF (No One Lives Forever) and F.E.A.R. It promises an intriguing tale set in Colonial America where life appears to be gone and the settlers have gone mad.

(CRiticalIndieGamer) Red - the colour of love, the colour of passion but most importantly, it is the colour of danger. Red is the only colour in Betrayer, a stylish first person action adventure game from developer Blackpowder Games.
Continue Play's Heather Williams takes a look at Blackpowder Games' Betrayer. "Betrayer is not a game that you would expect from the people who helped to create the F.E.A.R. series, but it does just enough right to make you think that they could be on the right path. Perhaps, with a little more refinement to its core systems, a sequel to Betrayer could be something rather special. As it is though, Betrayer is a gorgeous game with plenty of atmosphere – but also a lot of frustration."
