John Romero and Adrian Carmack, co-founders of id Software back in the day, are teaming up again for BLACKROOM, a visceral, varied and violent shooter that harkens back to classic FPS play. The pair have launched a Kickstarter campaign and are looking to raise $700,000USD over the next month or so to back the game.

BLACKROOM will see gamers stepping into the shoes of Santiago Sonora, Chief hNode Engineer at HOXAR Inc., a company that creates holographic simulations. During testing of their BLACKROOM technology, the real world begins to blend with the virtual and you are sent in to investigate through levels that include medieval castles and horror sets, amongst others.

“It is incredible to work with Adrian again,” said John Romero, game lead. “We’re developing exactly the type of game we think a lot of shooter fans want. It’s the type of shooter we’re known for, and the type of game we love to play ourselves. It’s a skillful shooter, from movement to weapon and map mastery.”

Some of the features of BLACKROOM include:

If the Kickstarter campaign is fully funded, BLACKROOM will be developed by Night Work Games and is expected to launch in Winter 2018 on Steam for PC and Mac. Support for other platforms may be added as well, depending on how the Kickstarter does. Pledges start at $5USD and go all the way up to $10,000 with copies of the game available at the $29 pledge level.
