Serum News

On one of my latest excursions, I stumbled across a boar in a grotesque form that sent shivers down my spine. Its flesh was torn, exposing raw muscle, while its eyes glowed a haunting green. I knew that if I didn't fight, this beast would surely overpower me.

As the creature charged towards me, I dodged its swipes, narrowly avoiding its razor-sharp tusks. Its strength was immense, and each blow felt like a sledgehammer against my body. I needed an advantage, something to level the playing field.

With a quick decision, I reached into my pack and retrieved a vial containing a mixture of Serum. I injected it into my arm, feeling an immediate surge of power. My senses sharpened, my muscles tightened, and a newfound confidence coursed through my veins. I leaped towards the boar, my movements faster and more precise than ever before.



With a series of calculated strikes, I managed to land blows on the boar, exploiting its weaknesses. The Serum coursing through me heightened my reflexes, allowing me to dodge its attacks with ease. The fight raged on, and I could feel the strain on my body, but I refused to give up.

Summoning every ounce of strength, I launched a final, devastating attack. With a precise strike, I plunged my spear into the boar's exposed flank, piercing through its decaying flesh. The creature let out a loud shriek, and its body convulsed before collapsing to the ground.

I stood there, breathing heavily, my body covered in sweat and dirt. The fight had taken its toll on me, but I had emerged victorious. The Serum mixture had given me the edge I needed to defeat the mutated boar, but what will be the cost?

As I took a moment to recover, I kept thinking about other horrors this island could hold. Would I be able to survive the next encounter? Only time would tell. But for now, my victory over this beast was a testament to my will to survive in this unforgiving world of Serum-infested nightmares.

It wasn't long after I found myself stranded in this strange place before I stumbled upon the plans for a Growing Table. Building this device would allow me access to a sustainable source of Serum from plants already growing on this island. I had to make it my top priority to craft one.



In my short time here, I’ve learned that Serum running through the plants was essential for survival on the island. The flora doesn’t offer much in quantity of the substance, but with enough plants, I can get ready for excursions deeper into the unknown.

Growing the plants turned out to be an easy task, but In the long run, I needed a more reliable source. The Growing Table lamps consume a lot of power, and that is a scarce resource in this forsaken place.



As I continued to explore the island, I encountered more and more strange creatures, all affected by the Serum – most of them hostile. But no matter what, I knew the Growing Table was only a short-term solution. If I wanted more Serum, I had to get ready to fight for it.

As I wandered through the lush forest in search of resources, something caught my eye in the distance. A dilapidated building with broken windows and an overgrown exterior stood out among the trees. Again, my curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to investigate.



When I approached the building, a sense of unease washed over me. The front door was open, and I cautiously pushed it, stepping inside. The air was musty, and the only light came from the sun peeking through the cracks in the walls.

After my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I began to make out strange equipment scattered throughout the rooms. Tables with straps and restraints, jars filled with unidentifiable liquids, and medical tools that sent shivers down my spine. It was then that I noticed the paperwork tossed across the floor, with words like "mutation", "subject", and “serum” scribbled across them.



My heart raced as I realized the implications of what I had stumbled upon. This was a facility where human tests were conducted. What horrors had occurred within these walls? Who were the subjects, and most importantly, was I one of them?

Hey survivors! As we already mentioned on our Discord channel, we are in the process of switching from UE4 to UE5 while working on Serum. This will help us deliver a quality survival experience with top-tier graphics, and we can’t wait to showcase some of the fantastic stuff we made so far.

In previous devlogs, we have shown you one of the creatures you will encounter in the game – The Mist Wolf. You could also see them in the teasers. Now, it’s time to reveal the upgraded version. This particular mutation is called the Alpha Mist Wolf, and as you can see, he’s not one to be messed with.



Below, you can also find some of the original concept art that the creature is based on. In Serum, players will cross paths with a multitude of creatures – each with their own distinctive characteristics and behaviour. We will update you on the progress and show more of them in the future, so stay tuned!

From the first day, I found myself trapped in this strange place, I noticed that some plants carry the valuable Serum that helps me to stay alive. They are not the most sustainable source of this substance, but they provide just enough to get me through the day.

What I discovered during my most recent expedition to the yet-undiscovered parts of the island shook me to the core. I came across a rather sizeable tubular plant that seemed very… alive. I didn’t want to risk advancing towards it and kept observing from a distance.

After a short while, a family of Rotten Rabbits approached the plant as if they wanted to try if it was edible. As soon as they got close enough, the plant exploded, launching its Serum-infused spores into the air. The rabbits fell almost immediately, but I was unsure if they were dead or incapacitated.



I could swear that with each minute, I spotted more and more of these plants as if they were reproducing rapidly. The truth was they were camouflaged well with the forest undergrowth, so I had to be extra careful with each subsequent step.

I decided not to go any further and returned to my shelter. I need to make a plan on how to proceed. I must find a way around the plants if the spores are deadly. And even if they are not, they still might accelerate the mutation or, best case scenario, grant me a new ability. So many unknowns, yet I’m in no hurry to find out.

One thing that really makes me lose sleep is these plants must have grown from other seeds or spores, which means there is potentially a much larger plant somewhere out there. I just hope I won’t cross paths with it.
