Wallhugger: A Deadfellaz Story, Alpha Testing Now Live.

One of the leading problems in web3 gaming is a lack of impactful experiences and shareable content. We aim to solve that with our gripping horror based PvP game “Wallhugger” - created with our friends at Tempest Studios and The Sandbox.

The elevator, the first and last place you’ll feel safe

What is Wallhugger About?

Wallhugger is a Deadfellaz story, dropping the player into part of the Deadfellaz world that has so far been unexplored. It is centred on the lore surrounding the failed cure given to Infected following The Incident that ultimately created the Deadfellaz, within the facilities that were used to house some of the earliest experiments during that time.

In Wallhugger you play a nameless Mechanic, tasked with the upkeep of the facility you find yourself in. With very little information at your disposal, you rely upon the facility AI to alert you when maintenance is necessary on one of an untold amount of underground levels of the facility.

The facility which you inhabit is an abandoned and mysterious place.

Inspired by Halflife, Lethal Company & Pacman, Wallhugger is a mash of classic survival horror and competitive PvP. Within each round, you will need to brave the depths of the facility, and fix as many installations (fans & drains in alpha testing) as you can, before extracting. Players can enjoy immersive and atmospheric sound design, nostalgic graphics and addictive gameplay.

Is The Game Ready To Play?

The current game state is early alpha, with most of the MVP elements available for testing & feedback during the current TSB Builder’s Challenge period. We will be using this time to test and refine the core gameplay loop, using private and public feedback to shape the direction of Wallhugger’s gameplay & features.

Make sure to extract on time, or find yourself in the failure room.

The difficulty comes with the unknown, all kinds of creatures inhabit the facility (the current build includes one base creature, The Lurker) which will end your work day abruptly if it catches you off-guard.

“Once out of alpha stage, we plan for Wallhugger to be the first IP born within TSB to have independent commercial success and exposure. We believe with Tempest & TSB by our side, we can achieve a truely unique and addictive gameplay experience and IP.” Psych — Co-Founder and Game Director, Deadfellaz

We will be hosting group play sessions in the coming weeks and pushing updates as we collate feedback on the initial experience of the alpha build — join Discord to stay up to date on these sessions and to provide feedback.

“The Lurker” is Wallhugger main creature in the alpha build, avoid it as best you can.

Deadfellaz Perks?

For those wondering about Deadfellaz collector perks, there will be, they will not be in the form of Deadfellaz specific items though. The world of Wallhugger will retain an aesthetic to keep immersion, and as such will gift collectors and other supporters with items that fit the world, such as alternate types of mechanic suits, backpacks, wrenches & gasmasks.

Wallhugger marks a new level of immersion for voxel based games and will grow into an industry disruptor.

Say Less, How To Play?

To play, just follow the link below to The Sandbox’s official website, download TSB via their installer and then use the site link below to boot the Wallhugger alpha build. You do not need to use a wallet that has DFZ assets, we recommend you use a burner.

The alpha is live, go check it out with a friend. While the game is PvP, this alpha build also allows solo play for testing purposes. So if you’re a loser with no friends, you can still test it :)

Good luck Mechanic.
