A remastered version of acclaimed mobile stealth horror title République is coming to PC and Mac this month, developer Camouflaj has announced.

République Remastered has the player assist Hope, a desperate young woman struggling to escape from a secret, Orwellian state. Communicating using a stolen phone, Hope contacts the player and asks them to hack into the nation’s surveillance system, assume control, and guide her out of the clutches of the omnipresent Overseer.

Literary works such as 1984 and Brave New World, alongside current geopolitical events including global surveillance and Internet censorship serve as key sources of inspiration for both the narrative and the stealth-survival gameplay. Players expand their control over surveillance cameras and other network-enabled devices, growing into an active threat to the Overseer and his grip over his shadowy nation.

The PC versions of République Remastered have been created in Unity 5, and features the voice talents of Jennifer Hale (Mass Effect), David Hayter (Metal Gear Solid series), Khary Payton (Batman: Arkham Origins), and Dwight Schultz (killer7).

“Ever since we committed to doing a desktop version of République, we’ve been haunted by the task for delivering something truly special for PC players,” said designer Ryan Payton, whose credits include the roles of creative director on Halo 4 and producer on Metal Gear Solid 4.

“When we got a glimpse at the next iteration of Unity we realised that this was the answer – beyond redesigning the game’s controls and UI for desktop, we’ve completely gutted all the game’s art, rebuilding everything using Unity 5’s cutting-edge graphical features.”

République Remastered will release on February 26 via Steam, GOG, and Humble Store for US$20.
