“Just walking in the snow leaves a trail. “Everything you do leaves information on you in the world,” said Darveau. While bigger Battle Royale games feature larger maps that gradually get smaller, Darwin Project’s already tiny, snowy map introduces a gameplay feature Darveau refers to as manhunt. “We are not at all trying to clone PUBG as some people might think!” “We have been working on the Darwin Project since September 2016,” said Simon Darveau, co-founder of Scavengers Studio and Creative Director on Darwin Project. While some will go bigger, Darwin Project opted to go much smaller and more intimate, with a few unique twists. Everyone’s scrambling to make their own version of PUBG. In the months since the genre now called ‘Battle Royale,’ after the 2000 Japanese film, has become the giant of the industry. That was still the early days of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ (PUBG) meteoric rise up the player charts.

The Darwin Project is a 10 player survival free for all that Microsoft announced during E3 2017. It’s Battle Royale, with audience participation. The result was a throng of people crowded around the Mixer booth as they yelled to nuke certain zones and cheered to bestow buffs and aid to their favorite players. Developed by indie Canadian studio Scavengers Studio, Microsoft quickly saw the potential between creating a Hunger Games-like action-survival game, and incorporating their own live streaming software, Mixer. The Darwin Project is planned for a Spring 2018 release on the Xbox One and Steam.One of the most popular booths on the show floor at PAX South 2018 was Microsoft’s Mixer booth, which was hosting the Darwin Project. If the concept stays the same, Scavengers Studio has a solid concept that if done properly on release will find a healthy community to support the game in the long run.

Saying this is a clone to the other battle royale games feels unjust. An experiment in capturing the true essence of battle royale with spectator interaction. It was a crazy experience that i'm excited to go through again if I get the chance. Sometimes you hear "good fight", but in the world we live in now, I was mostly greeted with disgust, especially if I was the one coming out the victor. Once someone dies they are given a chance to say something before moving on. While battling an enemy with either bow or axe, both my enemy and I were taunting each other as we fought. It was my main source of knowing if a player was nearby since I was for some reason paired with Twitch streamers that were always interacting with their community. Your voice is always on too while playing and other players nearby can hear you if you have a noisy mic or you are simply talking. This feature made the Darwin Project for me and I found myself pressing for the next game after each death.

Abusing one's position for entertainment. I've never experienced player-built scenarios like the ones I've mentioned ever in a multiplayer game. Sadly, I've fallen to another player as I was closing in on my target. Doing this will alert other players of my location for a limited time.

He fed me where the player was and failure to do so within a specific time limit will result in him placing a bounty on my head. He started talking to me and simply wanted me to kill this specific player in the match. Others were silent most of the time but there's one Show Director that gave me the chills. His name was Panda, god bless you good sir. Thanks to his help I won my first match in the Darwin Project. He was a nice guy, so nice that he fed me information on the remaining players in the match and even placed electronics (a rare resource that can give players a big advantage) to spawn near me. One director just had a simple chat with me, asking how my day was. (Show Directors have the ability to heal players)Long story short he didn't like my answer: rock. I've had one that asked me what type of music I liked, he said that if he didn't like my answer he won't help me with my current life issue. I've had Show Directors approach me for different reasons. But for the Darwin Project there's an eleventh player, the Show Director - a player who gets to spectate the match, communicate with players, and steer the outcome of the match if they so wish. As you go from sector to sector gathering supplies and killing other inmates as you survive the cold you might just get greeted by an unpredictable voice through the in-game mic, talking to you, watching your every move. Just like similar games, players are placed in a waiting area until you have the right amount of players to begin the match. It's the communication that makes this game unique.
