• Survival
• Dinosaurs
• Action-Adventure
• First-Person Shooter
• Open World
• Crafting
• Mystery
• Corporate Conspiracy

• Conventional Firearms: Varies (Revolvers, Rifles)
  A diverse arsenal of firearms scavenged from the Manifesto corporation, which can be customized with found parts like scopes and suppressors.
• Crafted Explosives: Throwable
  A variety of crafted devices, including traps and explosives, used to gain a tactical advantage against both human and dinosaur threats.

Progression is horizontal, focused on loot and shelter customization rather than traditional leveling. Players upgrade their survival odds by finding better weapon attachments, medical supplies, and armor plates. Multi-shelter support allows players to establish safe houses across different zones.

Progression is tied to survival and crafting. Players scavenge resources to upgrade weapons with custom parts like suppressors and scopes, and craft a variety of traps and gadgets. There are no traditional skill trees; instead, progression is based on acquiring better gear and unlocking new tools that open up new areas and tactical options.

The game features map-to-map travel across three main layers: Area 05 (starting zone with traders), the Border Zone (guarded by hostile forces and physical obstacles), and Vostok (the final high-risk zone). Each area consists of multiple sub-maps like the Village, Shipyard, and Radar station.

The game features large, interconnected zones with a 'Metroidvania' design philosophy rather than a single seamless open world. The island is comprised of diverse biomes, including lush jungles, sprawling beaches, treacherous cliffs, deep swamps, and ancient ruins.

• San: Playable Protagonist
  A refugee stranded on a lost island, fighting to survive and rescue his brother from a shadowy corporation.
• Maung: Key NPC
  San's brother, who is abducted at the beginning of the game and serves as the central motivation for the plot.
• Mysterious Radio Woman: Guide / Ally
  An unseen character who communicates with San via radio, providing guidance, intel, and occasional tactical support.

• Main Story Campaign
  A linear but sprawling story-driven campaign that follows San's quest to rescue his brother Maung from the Manifesto corporation while uncovering the island's secrets.
• Side Objectives
  Optional tasks like rescuing other surviving castaways, finding lost relics, or hunting down legendary predators for unique rewards.

Early Access Standard Edition launches at $14.99 with a 25% launch discount for the first two weeks. The price will adjust to $19.99 thereafter until the 1.0 release. All future content builds (Nomads, Signal, Gunslinger, etc.) are included in this price.

• Q: What happens when I die in Vostok?
  A: Vostok is a permadeath zone. If you die there, you lose everything, including your stash/shelter progress—essentially a full game reset.
• Q: Is there a co-op mode?
  A: No. The game is designed from the ground up as a hardcore single-player survival experience.
• Q: Why did the developer switch to Godot?
  A: The switch was made following Unity's licensing controversies to ensure long-term stability and full creative control.
• Q: What is 'Area 05'?
  A: It is an evacuated zone in southeastern Finland where the player begins their journey, featuring shelters and traders.
• Q: Does the game support Linux?
  A: Windows is the primary launch OS, but native Linux support is planned to arrive a few months after the initial Early Access release.

• Q: What is Ferocious?
  A: Ferocious is a single-player first-person shooter that combines intense action with survival-horror elements, set on a mysterious island inhabited by dinosaurs and a hostile corporation.
• Q: Is Ferocious an open-world game?
  A: It features large, interconnected zones with a 'Metroidvania'-style design, encouraging exploration and backtracking, but it is not a fully seamless open world.
• Q: Can you control the dinosaurs?
  A: Yes, a key feature is the ability to use discovered technology to briefly control or manipulate certain dinosaurs, allowing you to use them as weapons or distractions.
• Q: When will it be released?
  A: There is currently no official release date for Ferocious. A playable demo has been available on Steam since June 2025.

• Targeting a stable 60 FPS on mid-range hardware using Godot's Vulkan renderer. Native Linux support is planned for post-launch.
• Laptop Performance Note: Grounded photogrammetry assets can be VRAM intensive; ensure your laptop is plugged in to maintain stable clock speeds for high-resolution texture streaming.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Minimum 80W recommended for consistent framerates in dense forestry.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: Aggressive cooling recommended as the engine's physics calculations can lead to CPU heat spikes.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Ensure PL1 limits are not restricted to avoid stuttering during AI spawn cycles.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: Recommended to bypass integrated graphics for a 15% performance gain.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: FSR 2.2 and DLSS support confirmed for the Early Access launch.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Volumetric Fog and SDFGI (Global Illumination) have the highest performance impact.
• Game Name: Road to Vostok

• OFFICIAL AND EXTRAPOLATED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for FEROCIOUS. This information is based on the official PC specifications from developer OMYOG, adapted to the requested JSON structure. As a survival FPS built on the Unity Engine, the requirements are moderate but have increased during development. Laptop and future-generation GPU listings are extrapolated based on performance benchmarks.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop versions of the listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance. For a fast-paced FPS like FEROCIOUS, maintaining a high and stable framerate is key, making a laptop with a strong CPU and a well-cooled, high-TGP GPU very important.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: A high TGP is essential to ensure the GPU can consistently deliver high framerates without throttling during intense firefights with dinosaurs and mercenaries.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game's action-packed sequences can put a sustained load on components. A good cooling system is necessary to prevent thermal throttling and ensure consistent performance, which is critical for survival.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Strong single-core CPU performance is important for processing player inputs and AI with minimal delay. Adequate power delivery to the CPU is key.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is highly recommended to minimize system latency, providing a tangible advantage in a fast-paced shooter where reaction time is critical.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: The game does not have official integrated support for upscaling technologies like NVIDIA DLSS or AMD FSR. Performance is based on native resolution rendering. Players must rely on driver-level solutions or third-party tools if they wish to use these features.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Performance is most affected by settings like Shadow Quality, Texture Quality, and Anti-Aliasing. Given the dense jungle environments, foliage and view distance settings will also be demanding.
