You Are Empty Update: Plot Details and Screenshots

Of 1C’s five new titles coming to the US from Atari, the alternate-history, undead- and mutant-infested FPS You Are Empty looks like it has the greatest potential to turn in one of those guilty pleasure-type sleeper performances when it drops later this year, despite the fact that the few early reviews out there on the UK release haven’t been particularly glowing. It gives me the same vibe as CDV’s UberSoldier, which certainly wasn’t an award-winner but still provided a few enjoyable hours of mindless, stress-relieving shootery. For more on the game, check out this brief plot description and a selection of new screenshots.

You Are Empty is an intense FPS that offers players an alternative approach to the history of the late 1950’s taking place in the Soviet Union. Set in this alternate universe, Soviet Scientists attempt to create super humans capable of spreading communism around the world. However, something goes wrong when they lose control of their creation. As a result, whole cities start getting infected, and entire towns become overrun by mutants and monsters. Fighting against these mutants, the main hero tries to gain an understanding of what’s happening around him and save the day.
