The Point of Death (Game)

"The Point of Death" is an atmospheric (literally) first person shooter, where you visit the polish city of Borsuczewo, which has become a lifeless place surrounded by toxic fog.

## Plot

You play as Gabriel Tarkowski, who returns to the city he once left to die to find his sister. You will need to find as many allies as possible, because not only did the city become polluted by dangerous chemicals, but it's citizens became desperate and dangerous people, and those who had less luck became mutant creatures know as The Warped.

## Settings

There are many things you can change in "the settings".

The most important is difficulity level:

* Beginner's luck (easy, you are very durable)
* Tough times (normal)
* No mercy (hard, the enemies are faster and stronger)
* Hopeless (nightmare, hard but supplies are rarer)

## Story Missions

Goal of the player is to do everything in your power to find a way to escape with your sister while keeping her alive. To do that you will need to perform necessary tasks across Borsuczewo, from fetching items and killing the Warped to eliminating marauder chiefs. Just be careful what little choices you make- they may impact the ending...

## Open World

You can explore the city freely between the main tasks to find supplies and complete side quests , but you will need to constantly face enemies and, most importantly, manage your mask filters.

### Random encounters

You can encounter patrols of factions or groups of Warped. Sometimes these factions meet, which results in a fight. You can help one of the sides to gain loot or ignore them

### Side missions

If you need supplies, weapons or filters, you can take quests from side characters for a reward. These tasks usually involve exploring less important places in Borsuczewo

### Lairs

There are plenty of unlooted basements, full of lost military equipment and other goods. Bad for you, these places are guarded by the caretakers, so try to sneak past them or outsmart them to collect items.

## Combat

You are allowed to use various ways to defend yourself in the Point of Death.

### Shooting

firearms may be your best friends in this hell. However, military equipment is rare, and so is ammo. That's why choosing favourite weapons and augmenting them is imortant for your economy and survival. You deal nearly triple damage when you hit enemy in the head and you are more accurate when using a scope, although scoping and reloading make you slower.

### Melee

when you want to save ammo, you can always switch to melee combat. Every weapon and tool you can swing can be deadly to enemies

### Throwable weapons

Grenades, molotovs, kitchen knives and even beer bottles can be trown to distract or deal damage

### Stealth

You can sneak behind unalerted enemies and hit them with police taser, without causing unnecessary chaos

## Equipment

It's good to learn how to manage your resources and tools within your backpack.

#### Weapons and tools

To stay alive in fights you need to use firearms and melee weapons. most of them can be augmented by gunsmith with scopes, magazines and handles

#### Filters

filters serve as a major way to survive in the polluted air, but they don't grow on trees- at this point they serve as a currency

#### Drugs

you can find cigarettes, vodka and candy to sell for filters

#### Munitions

ammo and throwable weapons are very limited, so management and accurate use is necessary for survival

#### First aid

first aid kit can be filled with medications, pills and bandages. You can open your first aid kit and patch yourself to stay alive

## Trivia

* Many names of the characters and other things are inspired by the book "In Desert and Wilderness", written by Henryk Sienkiewicz. At one point in the book the protagonist, Stanisław Tarkowski, needs to find the cure for his foster sibling, while surviving in the African wilderness. The game twists it so that the wilderness isn't African jungle, but a post apocalyptic Polish city.
