Blood Message has attracted attention as a major adventure project since its first demonstration. The game combines the atmosphere of The Witcher series and the scale of Uncharted.
24 Entertainment studio showed 18 minutes of gameplay from the chapter "The Letter". The video features melee combat, stealth, exploration, and detailed locations. Digital Foundry noted the emphasis on a linear, cinematic adventure.
The developers chose Unreal Engine 5 after testing various technologies. The game uses Lumen, Nanite, and Virtual Shadow Maps. The lighting system and detail allow for the creation of elaborate scenes without loading screens.
The studio pays attention to physics and world simulation. Scans of real materials are used, and the reaction of objects to light is meticulously crafted. The game features destructibility, dynamic dust, animals, and fluid simulation.
One scene shows a rat running across water with realistic waves. Similar systems are applied to snow and sand, and dynamic weather has been added.
