Verity

In Verity, it begins with a mysterious cardboard box on your doorstep. It contains Verity, your personal assistant, who claims he can answer any question. You can ask it to do math, spin geography facts, chat, joke, and even sing songs. But there's something creepy about the friendly bot below.

Build your base before time runs out

Gather resources and construct your first shelter

Beyond just chatting, Verity tasks you with survival objectives. You first must chop down trees to receive wood to be able to build a shelter. You don't have to go gathering seeds to gather resources, as local trees will grow back.

Next you'll need to locate stone if you want to construct defensive walls. Unlike wood, stone can be found in deposits throughout the map and must be mined. Gathering enough to get to see the structure through will take some patience.

Construct a watch tower to see danger

Then, Verity has you build an observation tower as your base starts to take form. It's a big lumber and rock building project, and you'll be gathering resources for a while. Notably, the game world gradually expands, offering more space to explore and scavenge for materials.

Throughout this process, Verity continues to converse with you. While it often acts perfectly normal, its smile and peculiar responses make it difficult to fully trust your companion.

Warnings Become Increasingly Ominous

As the countdown nears its end, Verity’s demeanor begins to shift. It claims to know the location of your base, appearing with an unsettling expression and uttering threatening remarks. Even more chillingly, the game no longer offers a sense of safety—not even within the confines of your own base.

The Final Pursuit

By the last nite, you know Verity is never going to let you go. If you attempt to sleep near the observation tower, it's mentioned that you can't sleep here. Verity then says you are part of it and can't go tonight.

Soon enough you're running for your life. Verity appears and chases you at a rate not so easy to avoid. If you are caught, you are kicked from the game world and game over.

Verity is an excellent title, evolving from a sweet AI assistant into a terrifying survival-horror game. If you're that into games that conceal terrifying truths behind a pretty face, then you're going to be OBSESSED With Fashion because a cute little styling game can add up to a long, horrifying way.
