About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

As New York falls under attack by mysterious creatures, you and your team of 1 to 8 fearless journalists must risk everything to snap spectacular photos and escape to make the headlines !

Explore the abandoned & dangerous streets of New York, enter buildings, search every dark alley and hidden corner for anything that could be worth discovering. Danger is around every turn.

Each member of your team is armed with a camera. Snap shots of the destruction, the alien invaders, or even your teammates being torn apart by creatures. The choice is yours—capture the chaos however you see fit.

If you survive the chaos and make it out alive, review your photos and hope they’re headline-worthy. You start with 3 press cards, and each expedition uses one. Only by making the headlines can you earn more and continue your dangerous journey
