République is a videogame project developed by independent studios Camouflaj and Logan Games (same people behind Metal Gear Solid, Halo, F.E.A.R. and Kinect to name a few). Aimed for an iOS release, République is an ambitious stealth-based adventure game with the goal of raising the bar in terms of presentation, graphical power and story-telling in mobile videogaming.

The story is centered around Hope, a girl who lives in a mysterious, totalitarian nation. Using a stolen phone, she calls and begs you to hack into the nation's surveillance system, assume control, and help her escape from the clutches of the omnipresent Overseer.

République is currently in developing stages and requires funding to become a reality. If you want to help them, please donate to the game's Kickstarter page here. Be sure to finish your donations in units of $0.96 to help them identify us as Biohaze contributors!

AAA IOS EXPERIENCE

Thanks to the global proliferation of iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, hundreds of millions of people are now carrying a powerful gaming device with them every day. Finally, game makers can truly speak to a global audience, an audience that – thanks to touch controls – can easily jump into the interactive experience.

iOS is becoming a great gaming platform, but where are the games for people who love intense action and story-driven experiences? Where are the AAA games designed specifically for touch-based devices? As someone who loathes virtual joysticks, I have great respect for what Chair Entertainment did with Infinity Blade: they built an action game specifically for touch devices. We aim to do the same.



REWARDS

Digital platforms like Steam and the App Store are great, but there's something lacking with digital products. I miss the physical connection (and smell!) of game boxes, strategy guides, and maps. This is why I’m excited to announce the RÉPUBLIQUE JOURNAL, the physical half to the game experience. This high-quality book is a "replica" of the one Hope finds in the game: a musty-worn book passed between secret revolutionaries that features hand-drawn maps, writings from undercover dissenters, newspaper clippings from "The Outside", sketches of the Overseer's inner circle, and even a translation guide to the graffiti found in the world that may lead to hidden supply caches and audio tapes.


This pocket-sized book is the ultimate companion to the République experience. While it's not required to finish the game and understand the story, we know players are going to love it.


Just like the République Journal, the Collector's Edition is being designed as a believable artifact from the game world. More specifically, the Collector's Edition features a hollowed-out copy of the Overseer's Manifesto that Hope uses to hide contraband items. Everything from the journal to the CD and DVD are designed to look exactly like they do in the world of République.

- Ryan Payton (Camouflaj).

The call is intercepted by Leon Kennedy who investigates. Afterward, he discovers that the girls is actually a genetic experiment by a corporation, and is a carrier for a deadly virus that infects a major percentage of the populace. Boom. Resident Evil 7. Ya welcome

One thing is undeniable with Republique: the Biohazard influence. :)

You'll be finding out more about this later on... stay tuned!

The trailer looks great, and I would love to see this come to life. However, there are only 3 weeks left and they need a gigantic amount of money, I don't see this happening.

Wow, this looks pretty interesting. I'm glad there are serious iOS developers out there. The Resident Evil influence shows. I'm donating for sure. Thanks for the tip Rod.

I was patiently waiting to see what Payton's new game was going to be and glad to see it in the form of Republique. After the news he left 343 saying he wasn't creatively exited for Halo 4, I wondered what kind of game could he make if he was more invested. And here we have it!
