Description
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.

Key Features

  • Explore large, open environments teeming with danger and discovery. Chart your own course in search of clues and treasures.
  • Switch between two distinct worlds featuring different enemies, obstacles, and threats.
  • Wield early 17th century weaponry including muskets, bows, crossbows, and tomahawks. Upgrade your arsenal by purchasing or finding faster, deadlier, longer-ranged weapons.
  • Charge headlong into battle with guns blazing or pick enemies off quietly. A novel, movement-based stealth system lets you hide in plain sight or use the wind to mask your footsteps.
  • Equip ability-enhancing Charms to complement your play style, granting anything from extra health to faster movement to improved stealth.
  • Play with the default visual style for maximum eeriness and tension or customize the color and contrast settings to suit your tastes.

Can't play; seems fun, but crashes a few seconds after starting.

I liked that the sound when you hit an armored target is the same as hitting someone with a shovel in Postal 2. That's pretty much it.

It's okay, worth trying at least.

The story is good so far, I think. Only about an hour and a half in. The gameplay however.. The bows feel bad to use, and are kinda useless compared to the other weapons anyway Muskets and similar are okay, they work but they feel basic and unsatisfiying to use The combat in general feels more like a chore personally than anything to look forward to The exploration and movement is pretty lifeless but it's made somewhat interesting by what you can find lying around There's no voice acting or anything and overall it feels like a low budget indie game made on Unity, but with more direction and polish than an asset flip at least. You can tell the developers put their heart into it, so I can't say it's soulless or a cash grab (at the time of it being paid) at least. Some of the art within the journal is actually quite pleasing to look at. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5 stars if I could, a mediocre game with some redeeming elements, but personally not enough for me to really want to finish it myself. The final straw personally was when I got stuck on some random object and had to kill myself with bombs to get out of it, getting sent back to the place I came from in the first place, meaning i'd have to walk back to the other area and I was also out of some of the items I collected. I just uninstalled it after that. But for the price of literally nothing, I can't complain and am glad this game will be preserved on GOG from now on. I did like the graphical style with the black and white, and the game concept does feel unique, if only it were better executed, I can't imagine paying their original asking price of $15 or $20 at the time for this. Give it a try, no real reason not to. Maybe you'll like it better. Personally, I'd rather go back to the developer's older works and play F.E.A.R. instead. That game is a lot better than this one if you ask me, even if it'll cost you a few bucks.

Big nope

First person action adventure? I'm not even sure what this game is trying to be, stealth is broken, many times I have been detected by enemies way before I even know they are there, specially because big open areras with no verticallity will give you no opportunity to evade combat, speaking of which. as a FPS it fails miserably, ammo is scarce and expensive so you have to be precise, all while enemies rush at you; you cannot evade or block attacks, so your only recourse is to trade blows until one of you is dead, and you are weak as a paper wipe, Intersting idea to make the game black and white with high contrast, but the poor mechanics are just not worth it
