Story

Mother Hub is an FPS enriched with RPG and survival horror elements, inspired by series such as Doom 3. The game was developed by the independent ODale Studios, which has the similar genre Habilis in their portfolio.

Gameplay

In Mother Hub we watch the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). During the game, we explore the titular "vault" which is the last bastion of humanity, specifically - its unfinished lower sections called the Dark Zone. We get to know the inhabitants and engage in conversations with them, make choices that affect the course of the story and its ending, and also fight opponents.

The protagonist primarily uses firearms, such as a pistol, shotgun, or rifle. We must face mutated enemies - from deformed plants, through humanoid creatures reminiscent of zombies, to larger humanoid specimens. Those last ones are particularly resistant to bullets and many of them serve as bosses.

Story

Mother Hub presents us with a bleak vision of the future, in which the entire human civilization (or rather, what's left of it) is contained in one titular complex. We play as a female protagonist named Thea, whose mother has been infected with a mysterious disease decimating the population of Mother Hub. When the main character learns that a cure developed in the past may be hidden in the underground of this place, she decides to venture there and try to find it.
