Under the Rooftop

Support on Kickstarter



Welcome to Datura City, a snow-covered metropolis sealed off after a catastrophic outbreak. In this co-op survival horror game, you’ll explore apartments, hospitals, police stations, shopping malls, underground tunnels and many other locations to scavenge resources and craft weapons, traps, and gear. Rooftop bases serve as your home, where NPC allies help you craft the items you need. Enemies stalk by sight, sound, and smell, while powerful bosses rule entire landmarks, pushing you deeper into the city’s nightmare.

Craft Building

Build your rooftop shelter with a wide range of modular parts. Start with basic pieces like Foundation Base, Wall, Floor, Window, Door, Stairs and Ladder. Then use special pieces like Angled Floor and Ceilings and various types of Triangle Walls to form attic-style spaces or any unconventional shapes you like.

Bridges let you connect bases together, from one rooftop to another and Barriers helps you build perimeters around your bases for defense. Built from scrap materials with a container home-style aesthetic, each piece connects naturally with the others, giving you the freedom to shape your rooftop safe haven according to your imagination.

Building Modular Type

On the rooftops, small machines and tools keep survivors alive. Planter Boxes help you build farms and grow food, Wind Generators can turn the cold winter gusts into electricity that you can hold into Battery Hubs for emergencies. Water Purifiers collect falling rain or snow and make it safe to drink. Porta Potties cover basic toilet needs that can’t be ignored, even in the apocalypse.

Beyond these, players can set up Cooking Tables and Fridges to prepare and store meals, and Shower Booths and Sleeping Bags to stay clean and rested. Solar Panels give you the power of the sun in the palm of your hand and helps your power your base when wind isn't enough. Laser Trigger helps you auto activate defenses and alarm system when triggered by enemies.





Survival Equipments

Weapons

With the Weapon Master's help you can transform deadly weapons into deadlier variants or construct completely new weapons.

Turn a normal Katana into a flaming Katana by modifying it with gas pipes and gas canister. Or convert a Riot Shield into a Electric Riot Shield using barbed wire, batteries and electric wires. Make a Revolver deadlier by extending the magazine with a tuna can. Make a Crossbow fire heated bolt by adding attaching a blowtorch.

These are only a few examples. Each weapons will have multiple levels that player can upgrade by modifying and adding new features.



Weapon Type

Personalize your playstyle and look with your choice of clothing, backpack and other wearable items.

If you are the type of player who loves to tank and be the frontline of your team use Enforcer armor set. Distract enemies towards you, tank damages and keep your teammates away from danger.

If you are a fan of Elara, our problematic doctor, you will need the Biohazard suit set. With the help of the suit you will be able to reach dangerous biohazard areas to collect samples for her experiments.

Or if you are more of a sneaking type, try the Smell or Sound masking sets and sneak past your problems.

Survival Items

Fellow Survivors

Not everyone in Datura City is lost. Some survivors can be recruited to your rooftop base, each bringing their own skills. Through their help you unlock new items to craft.

The Architect – She is the heart of your base. Bright, friendly, and always optimistic, she knows the city and its people better than anyone. She will be your guide to meet other NPCs. A genius architect who helps you build your base. From structural pieces to furniture, she can design and build it all even from low grade materials.

The Doctor – An unconventional doctor with a mind for unethical experimentation. If you can look past her rough methods you will find a doctor who can not only make medicines and cures but also biological weapons to fight the Crics.

The Chef – Tough, rugged, and skilled with knives. A celebrity chef who can turn the most meager ingredients into Incredibles meals.

The Weapon Master – A hardened veteran with the grit of an old gunslinger. Quiet, stern, and dependable, he knows how to make regular deadly weapons deadlier or make something completely new that can help you build your defenses.

Each survivor has their own personality and will only stay as long as your reputation with them remains strong. Lose their trust, and they’ll leave the base, forcing you to survive without their skills or find a way to win their trust back.

Boss

Some areas of Datura City are ruled by powerful bosses that turn entire building, area or facility into their hunting grounds. These bosses didn't turn from the virus but they were deliberately experiment on.

A police chief turned into a brute by infusing him with many prison inmates now roams the police station and hunts anyone who enters the area. A genius chief surgeon turned into a mad scientist now roams the hospital and looks for patients for his own experiments. An urban explorer ended up somewhere he wasn't supposed to and turned into a stalker with tentacles that now roams the sewers.

They are not the only bosses of Datura City. The deeper you go the weirder the bosses get.

CRIC/Enemy

The outbreak transformed regular people into hideous monsters called Cric. Some of these Crics specialize in specific senses to hunt the players.

Nose – Their mutation has caused them to lose their visual and auditory sense but made their sense of smell incredibly strong. They hunt player by detecting their body odor. Keeping your body odor in check by showering and eating the right food is necessary to avoid this Cric.

Eye – Their vision is incredibly strong. Even in dark environments they can easily spot you. Use light grenade to stun or distract them by using your flashlight and watch them chase it like a cat.

Ear – Ear Crics are sensitive to sound. Careful what you carry and move around them slowly. A sound grenade is very helpful if you are facing many of them at once and need to stun them all.

Jaw – They can hear, smell and see but not as good as the other Crics. Their powerful weapon in their jaw. Keep your distance and aim for their mouth.

They are not the only Crics of the city. Some Crics are not even humans. Watch out from mutated cats, dogs and other animals.
