Indie Polish studio Paradark Studio has released a new gameplay overview trailer for ExeKiller, offering the clearest look yet at its unusual mashup: post-apocalyptic survival meets retro-future western bounty hunting.

A world burned down and rebuilt under corporations

ExeKiller’s premise leans hard into collapse fiction. The game’s backstory describes a “Great Fire Disaster” that devastated Earth, leaving only a fraction of humanity alive. With governments falling apart, corporate power fills the vacum and the setting drops players into New York in 1998, reimagined under this alternate, ruined timeline.

You’re an ExeKiller and survival has a price

Players step into the role of an ExeKiller, a futuristic bounty hunter chasing targets for S.O.U.L.S, described as a biochip component tied to a person’s identity and control. In the game’s fiction, the chip isn’t just a piece of tech it’s the difference between existing and being erased.

Player choice, outlaw hunts, and a harsh open world

The newly shared overview reinforces that ExeKiller is built around a player-driven structure, where decisions affect outcomes and encourage replayability. The open world spans multiple dangerous regions deserts, canyons, highways, and irradiated zones supported by shifting conditions like a day/night cycle, dynamic weather, and radioactive storms.

Bounty hunting is positioned as a core loop

 take down outlaws, bring them in, or let them go then adapt with tools, weapons, stealth, or even negotiation depending on the situation.

Platforms and release status

For now, ExeKiller is confirmed for PC via Steam, and it does not have a release date yet.
