Transient is a first‑person narrative adventure that blends Lovecraftian horror and cyberpunk sci‑fi in a dystopian, post‑apocalyptic setting. Developed by Stormling Studios and published by Iceberg Interactive, the game places players in the shoes of Randolph Carter — a hacker‑for‑hire in a domed megacity called Providence — who stumbles onto a terrifying truth that may shatter his sanity and understanding of reality. The story unfolds as you investigate what has happened to your friends, uncovering secrets hidden within the city, corrupted virtual realms, and fractured dreamlike dimensions.
Gameplay emphasizes exploration, environmental storytelling, puzzle‑solving, and hacking rather than combat, encouraging players to scan surroundings, interact with objects, and unlock encrypted systems to advance the narrative. The world features richly detailed cyberpunk environments brought to life with Unreal Engine 4 visuals and an atmospheric soundtrack that heightens the eerie, surreal tone of the adventure. The Extended Edition of the game adds improved graphics, a new ending, quality‑of‑life enhancements, controller support, achievements, and multiple save slots for a more polished experience. While its storytelling and pacing have received mixed reviews, fans of atmospheric, thought‑provoking experiences will find Transient’s blend of mystery and genre fusion compelling.
