The gameplay seems heavily influenced by Glen Schofield's previous work, Dead Space. The trailer shows glimpses of over-the-shoulder exploration in dimly lit environments while being stalked by all sorts of mutated human or inhuman-looking creatures. It appears you'll be available to fend off these creatures with guns and a shock baton, as shown in the trailer.
