In The Refuge demo, players step into the role of an operative for the A.R.C. organization in a post-apocalyptic setting. The experience focuses on preparing at the developing refuge camp and then venturing into infested zones to complete contracts, scavenge resources, and extract before the timer expires.
The core gameplay shown involves navigating varied mission conditions where infected enemies become more aggressive with higher-stakes contracts. Combat requires balancing engagement with the infected using available weapons while managing time and objectives effectively across different runs in the demo.
Resources from extractions contribute to expanding facilities in the refuge, unlocking new services and supporting progression systems. The demo presents a stable foundation for this extraction and base-building loop, suitable for solo play or future co-op sessions with up to three players.
