Developed by Team Vultures · Published by Firesquid, Gamersky Games
After a biohazard outbreak in Salento Valley, VULTURES operatives enter the infected city to retrieve materials and information that could help find a cure. Missions send Leopoldo or Amber into ruined locations to reach objectives and extract.
Explore rooms, search for supplies and clues, and use keys or codes to open new routes. When threats appear, combat unfolds in turns: choose where to move and how to spend actions, or use stealth to avoid a fight.
The operatives have different tools for controlling the battlefield: Leopoldo can move objects, while Amber uses a grappling gun to traverse areas and reposition enemies. Valuables found on missions earn credits for weapon upgrades, items, and gear before future outings.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its unusual mix of turn-based tactics and survival horror, along with its retro atmosphere and room-by-room exploration. Reviews also praise combat choices such as pushing, stunning, sneaking, and using the environment to conserve ammunition. Some players find the challenge too easy or uneven, while many report bugs—including crashes, combat failures, and softlocks—that interrupt play.
