Not all is what may seem



Survival in Serum is a delicate dance between resourcefulness and adaptability. As Adam, our protagonist, you'll navigate a world where Serum holds the key to your survival.

In the depths of the wilderness, harvesting plants and extracting the organs of living creatures isn't just a means of sustenance—it's a pathway to unlocking the mysteries of Serum brewing. Back at your home base, this unique art allows you to concoct special Serums that grant you potent abilities, offering a crucial advantage in the face of the deadly adversaries you will likely come across.



Among these adversaries stands Specimen X.SR0102, a chilling manifestation of the mutagenic horrors that plague Serum's world. Once a noble gorilla, this creature's form has been grotesquely twisted by the mutagen. Its once-powerful muscles have withered away, replaced by sinewy tendons that encase its skeletal frame like gnarled tree bark.

Dubbed "Mr. Hyde" by one of the E.V.A.S. junior lab assistants, this abomination epitomizes the harrowing transformations wrought by Serum. While not all gorilla test subjects share its immense size, they exhibited a strength that defied comprehension, posing a formidable threat if underestimated.



Prepare yourselves for the challenges that await in Serum’s infested wilderness because not all is what it may seem.

Stay tuned for further updates as we delve deeper into the mysteries of Serum's world.

Serum is launching on May 23rd in Early Access



[h3]Fellow Survivors[/h3]

Today, we’re pleased to reveal that Serum will be launching on Steam Early Access on May 23rd, as revealed by the good folks over at IGN.



Accompanying the major announcement on IGN is our CGI trailer, featuring the game's protagonist, Adam. As a survivor and a patient of the E.V.A.S. Corporation, Adam finds himself stranded on the island of Matamis, where a catastrophic mutagen incident has occurred. Now, isolated and seeking answers, Adam must navigate his way through the aftermath of the disaster, with the actions of the E.V.A.S. Corporation looming large in the background.

Serum’s unique time mechanic, coupled with its crafting and serum brewing system, paves the way for experimentation and discovery as players harness the serum’s potent abilities across different locations. This is all driven by an exciting narrative of conspiracy, cover-up, and scientific negligence.
