AD INFINITUM! A HORROR GAME SET DURING WW1🔴LIVE 1440P 💀😱🗡️🔫#adinfinitum #ww1
25Ad Infinitum is a 2023 survival horror video game developed by Hekate and published by Nacon. It is set during World War I and was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 14 September 2023.\n\nPlayers control a German soldier trying to come to terms with the horror of trench warfare and atrocities during World War I. The setting shifts to his family's mansion and a French town occasionally, representing his mental instability.[3] Ad Infinitum is a survival horror game. Players must solve puzzles[4] and avoid monsters, some of which represent the soldier's experiences during the war.[3] Escaping from monsters involves tapping controls. If they fail to escape, they return to a checkpoint.[4] It is played from a first-person perspective.[5]\n\nThe game takes place from the perspective of Paul von Schmidt, a young German veteran who returned from the trenches in France after the end of The Great War. Paul and his brother Johannes were raised by their disabled father Karl (who was a wartime contributor) and their worrisome mother Madelein, with Karl's father Lother living with them for a time. Lother was a former military general, and forced his corrupt views on the glories of military life on Karl during his upbringing and upon Paul before his death; this caused friction in the family, as Madelein was opposed to this, causing tension between her and Karl, and she rarely even acknowledged Paul due to fearing that he would become like his grandfather. Johannes was later rejected by Karl after the discovery that he had an illicit affair, and both were pressured into joining the war effort by him.\n\nOn the battlefield, Paul became a Lieutenant after Karl had some strings pulled, and Paul proved an incompetent leader as his immature and unrealistic views worsened the conditions for his company, leading many to starve. Later on, Johannes, realizing the futility of the war, shoots Paul in the foot to take him out of duty to keep him from being killed. During an attack, Johannes is heavily injured, losing his left arm and eye, with barbed wire tearing his face open as well; Paul guiltily leaves him behind in the chaos, and both are separately taken by French forces as POWs. After the war's end, both are sent back home, with Karl horrified by what he forced his sons into and the hysterical Madelein continuing to ignore Paul while in denial of Johannes' survival, seeing him as "cuckoo" that is hidden away in the attic and neglected; the scarred, traumatized Johannes becomes increasingly alien to Paul, who begins to develop a warped view of his family overall.\n\nThe game itself takes place mostly in Paul's mind, as he struggles to come to terms with his life, actions and traumatizing experiences. While he does explore his family's manor to recall memories of his upbringing, he slips into a recreation of the war trenches he served in. In different locations within both worlds, he struggles with memories and visions of his family members.\n\nWhile exploring the trenches, he encounters various monsters of Hunger, blind, ravenous creatures that listen and attack. He encounters The Officer, a harsh, commanding man who was blinded in the crashing of his plane and was approached by monsters before they find safety in the command bunker. He commands Paul to search for Morphine to soothe his pain, and Paul searches the remains of a French town, getting inside the church only to encounter a warped, female monster named Despair. After a chase, Paul finds a lot with a large tree she circles, surrounded by speakers with records of harsh military music or soothing songs that his mother loved. Paul can choose to use the military music to drive Despair off to destroy the tree, to which he then sends her spiraling off a cliff; if he chooses the soothing music, Despair is pacified enough for him to remove a thorn from her heart, and she disappears when she appears at peace, to which Paul then awakens from a dream.
