Original Game:

CONSCRIPT (2024) is a critically acclaimed survival horror game set in the claustrophobic trenches and bunkers of Verdun during World War I. Developed by solo Australian developer Jordan Mochi under the studio name Catchweight Studio, players manage scarce resources, solve environmental puzzles and navigate historically grounded horror whilst uncovering the fate of a missing brother.

You can find and play the original game on Steam.
