Ryan Payton, former Creative Director on Halo 4 with 343 Industries, has announced his current project, Republique, with new studio Camoflaj.<\/p>\n

Payton caused quite a stir last year when he abruptly left 343 and the Halo 4 project, stating that he \u201cwasn\u2019t creatively excited about the project anymore\u201d; but Payton has shown that his creativity hasn\u2019t been hampered as he\u2019s deep in development with Republique.<\/p>\n

Republique has been revealed as a stealth\/survival horror which is set to be released for iPad and iPhone, with Camoflaj treating the mobile platforms as they would with any triple AAA console.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The game features a female protagonist named Hope, who has to escape from a futuristic society under heavy surveillance, which makes up the gameplay model.<\/p>\n

Hope has to sneak through situations, often avoiding any potential threats instead of taking them head-on.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the catch: players don\u2019t control hope; instead, players will take control of an unnamed spectator who views the world through surveillance cameras. Players will then touch positions in order to direct Hope, or move objects to create a distraction, giving Hope a window to make move.<\/p>\n

Pre-rendered visuals and multiple viewpoints will give Republique an old-school Resident Evil feel, but with new gameplay dynamics in which objects and elements within the environment are heavy on interaction.<\/p>\n

The concept was initially funded by a Kickstarter campaign<\/a>, which we\u2019ve seen to becoming more and more prominent as a launching platform in the gaming world.<\/p>\n
