• Sabre: Primary Melee
  The main weapon, used for a deliberate system of blocking, parrying, light/heavy attacks, and ripostes.
• Pistol: Secondary Ranged
  A Napoleonic-era pistol used to target enemy weak points. Ammunition is extremely limited to maintain focus on melee combat.
• Nephtoglobin Transmutations: Supernatural Abilities
  Powerful magical abilities granted by the plague, such as fire blasts, corrosive clouds, and other curses. Using them costs health or sanity.

• 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.

• Napoleonic Uniforms: The game does not appear to have a traditional armor system. William wears a tattered Grande Armée uniform. Progression is tied to stat increases and unlocking new abilities rather than finding and equipping different armor pieces.

Progression is based on a classic Soulslike formula. Players earn currency from defeated enemies to spend at 'Lanterns' (bonfires) to increase base attributes like health, stamina, and weapon skill. A key mechanic is the 'Corruption' system, where using powerful Nephtoglobin abilities increases William's power but also carries risks, such as health drain or attracting more dangerous enemies.

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 a 'Metroidvania-lite' level design. The world is not a single open world but a series of interconnected zones that loop back on themselves, with new paths and secrets opening up as players acquire new traversal abilities or powers. Exploration is organic, as the game will not feature a world map.

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.

• William: Playable Protagonist
  A British-born soldier who died fighting for Napoleon, now resurrected and cursed with supernatural powers. He must survive the horrors of the war-torn, plague-ravaged land.
• Napoleon Bonaparte (Voice): Guide / Antagonist?
  The ghostly voice of the Emperor himself, who taunts and guides William, pushing him to embrace his newfound brutality and power.

• 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.

• SPECULATIVE PC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS. As official specs were not provided, these are hypothetical projections for a next-generation title built on an advanced proprietary engine.
• Laptop Performance Note: A title like this would demand a high-performance gaming laptop for the best experience. Actual performance would vary significantly based on the final game's optimization and the laptop's specific hardware configuration.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Maximum TGP for the laptop's GPU would be essential to handle the advanced graphical features, ray tracing, and high-framerate first-person combat.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game's visually rich world and intense boss fights will require a laptop with a cutting-edge cooling solution to prevent thermal throttling.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: A powerful multi-core mobile CPU will be critical for handling the advanced enemy AI and physics-based combat.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus would be a critical feature for reducing latency and ensuring the best possible performance and responsiveness in the timing-based combat.
• Game Name: Valor Mortis

• 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.
