Betrayer is a first person action adventure game that takes you to the New World at the turn of the 17th century. The year is 1604. You sailed from England expecting to join a struggling colony on the coast of Virginia. Instead, you find only ghosts and mysteries. What catastrophe blighted the land and drained it of color and life? Where are the settlers and tribes who lived here? Clue by clue, you must piece together the story of what befell this doomed settlement and find a way to set things right. You will be hunted by corrupted Conquistadors and ravening shadows as you explore an expansive wilderness in order to trace the brief, tragic history of the colony and search for survivors.

The last game from the minds behind classics such as Blood and F.E.A.R.
Betrayer is full of fresh ideas like FPS gameplay with fairly authentic 17th century weapons, unique American colonial setting and heavy emphasis on audio-based exploration. It should be shamelessly copied because of all the untapped potential.
If you're playing for the first time, I recommend unbinding the map key or at least disabling all map markers from the get go for maximum fun.

Disclamer: For some reason this game was removed from the store. But you can still buy it from GOG.
I'm enjoying it to a point I think I'll carry on. Very bold game that isn't afraid to do its own thing. Right straight out the gate the art style is very strong and impactful, transmiting an eerie sense of dread. The gameplay itself is your standard FPS, however there are some interesting mechanics that almost feels like a rogue-like game, also borrowing some inspiration from Dark Souls in how you can recover your loot after you die.
Sound design is top notch and an actual important part of exploration. Story seems to be intriguing, at least for now.
I'll update this if I play it further. But first impressions are positive.

A hidden gem. Seek this game out for a very unique experience in storytelling and solve the mystery of the Lady in Red

Giving this one a positive review just because it was pretty bold at the time of the release but it ain't much and you should get it for free or at a discount.

Be a ghost detective and shoot skeletons with muskets & bows! Unfortunately all these ex-Monolith devs got to make, and possibly a little less complete than originally intended. But certainly one of my favorite game experiences. Though the story is all extremely heavy subject matter.

A dark, spooky, atmospheric adventure is what awaits you in Betrayer. There's this uncomfortable stillness that hangs in the air. Untold tragedies that lurk beneath the surface with their pieces scattered about.
Essentially the game is one big scavenger hunt but you're better off waiting until the late game when you get all the tools needed to uncover everything one area at a time; it'll save you some time in the long run. In the mean time you have monstrous conquistadors roaming all over the place to worry about. You're encouraged to the use stealth but as long as not too many enemies are aware of you at once you can usually get away with a direct approach. Long and short bows are the most reliable weapons but sometimes they lack the punch you need so that's where the guns come in. But those have a long reload so my main strategy in combat was to lead with a Musket shot, and if that didn't kill it then follow up with the pistol and then just pelt it with arrows as needed.
There are definitely rough edges but I consider it to be interesting enough for a playthrough. A shame the dev team isn't really around anymore. Even though it's not on Steam anymore, It's on GOG for free so check it out.
