The Flock Launches August 21, Game Ends After 215M Deaths

13th August, 0 replies

Indie horror game The Flock will release August 21 on the PC, developer Vogelsap has announced. It will be priced at $16.99.

The Flock is notable for its unique twist, which is that once the death count for all players combined hits 215,358,979 the game will trigger a climactic finale for anyone who has purchased the game.

"The Flock is a multiplayer thriller in which you can scare your friends," said the developer in a FAQ. "Everybody starts as an agile monster from a species called the Flock, but the goal of the game is to grab and hold the Light Artifact which transforms you in the hunted Carrier. Only the Carrier can win the game, so you want to get a hold of that Light Artifact. The twist is, the Flock are not allowed to move in the light of the artifact or they will be burned to a crisp in mere seconds. If they choose not to move, they turn into a stone statue and are invulnerable to the light."

"If you’ve payed attention, there’s two things that can happen to the Flock. They either die (e.g. by moving through the light) or they transform into a whole different creature called the Carrier. In both scenarios there is eventually no more Flock. If this were the real world it would mean the Flock is a tragic race doomed to extinction. We want to convey that story into our multiplayer."

If anyone is caught hacking or botting to decrease the number of lives then the developer will revert all of the lives from that player before warning and potentially banning them.

PlayStation 4 or Xbox One releases could potentially happen in the future, however they have not been confirmed. If the game is released on other platforms then the total number of lives will be increased and will be shared across all versions of the game.
