A desperate search for a cure in Salento Valley

The story of Vultures: Scavengers of Death takes players to Salento Valley, a once-thriving city that has become a wasteland following a biological disaster. As members of Vultures, a professional mercenary group, players must infiltrate the quarantine zone, recover important documents, and uncover clues behind the outbreak in order to develop a cure for humanity.

Turn-based tactical gameplay and resource extraction

Unlike traditional action-heavy horror games, the title focuses on turn-based tactical gameplay. Players control two agents with unique abilities:

  • Leopoldo: A disciplined operative with exceptional physical strength who can move and push objects to control the environment.
  • Amber: Fast and highly analytical, she uses a grappling gun to traverse terrain and reposition enemies during combat.

The ultimate objective in every mission is to secure critical targets and safely extract from areas filled with terrifying mutated creatures.

Inspired by iconic 1990s horror classics

Vultures: Scavengers of Death serves as a tribute to classic survival horror franchises such as Resident Evil. The game features retro PS1-era visuals combined with a dark and isolated atmosphere. Resources like ammunition and healing items are extremely limited, forcing players to carefully consider every decision: fight, sneak past enemies, or retreat.

Explore, scavenge, and upgrade

Scavenging is essential for survival in the ruined city. Players can search for:

  • A wide range of weapons, including pistols, rifles, daggers, and katana.
  • Keys, access codes, and clues needed to unlock sealed-off areas.
  • Valuable items that can be traded for credits at the Market, allowing players to upgrade equipment or unlock new cosmetic items.

By blending nostalgic survival horror elements with modern tactical mechanics, Vultures: Scavengers of Death is shaping up to be a serious challenge for PC gamers who enjoy unforgiving survival experiences.
