About

Encased is a modern single player sci-fi post-apocalyptic isometric role-playing game. It’s all about exploration, adventures, and survival inside a locked up territory.

It is heavily inspired by famous isometric RPGs of the late 90s and early 2000s but aims not only to repeat those essential aspects that made them golden classic but also to improve those and evolve even further.

The player is a participant in a project researching the technology and artifacts of a long-gone civilization. Wonderful discoveries, mysterious artifacts, and dangerous anomalies are constant companions of this activity.

It\u2019s all about exploration, adventures, and survival inside a locked up territory.\n\nIt is heavily inspired by famous isometric RPGs of the late 90s and early 2000s but aims not only to repeat those essential aspects that made them golden classic but also to improve those and evolve even further.\n\nThe player is a participant in a project researching the technology and artifacts of a long-gone civilization. Wonderful discoveries, mysterious artifacts, and dangerous anomalies are constant companions of this activity.",
