Apsulov: End of Gods

About Apsulov: End of Gods

Apsulov: End of Gods is a first-person horror adventure from Angry Demon Studio, released on Steam in August 2019 and later on PlayStation, Xbox and Switch. Its makers call it future viking horror: the gods and realms of Norse myth meet steel, concrete and machines.

You wake in a sanctuary built deep under the earth to study and exploit the nine worlds of Yggdrasil, and to hold an artifact buried there long ago. Humans went looking for the mercy of the gods and found something that was never meant to reach the surface. Their own technology has been turned against them, and the facility is in chaos and decay.

You explore the facility and other realms in first person, working out its secrets and using the tools the game gives you to deal with the places and the creatures you meet. The store warns of gore, flashing lights and strong language, and the game has difficulty settings, rebindable keys and an option to reduce head bobbing.

It suits players who like a single-player sci-fi horror story in the mould of SOMA or Scorn but want a setting they have not seen before: runes, world trees and Norse gods in place of space stations.

How to play Apsulov: End of Gods

1. Buy it on Steam for Windows, or on the PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo store.
2. Pick a difficulty setting and adjust head bobbing or controls if you need to.
3. Explore the facility in first person and follow the story of what was dug up.
4. Use the tools the game gives you to get past the environments and the creatures you meet.
5. Travel on into the other realms of Yggdrasil to learn what happened.

Tips

• Lower the difficulty if you want to concentrate on the story and the setting.
• Turn on reduced head bobbing if first-person motion bothers you.
• Expect gore and flashing lights; the store warns of both.
