With less than a week to go, I’m starting to feel the excitement—and maybe a little bit of nerves—as we approach the launch of IHAS. It’s such a surreal moment, seeing everything come together after two years of work, countless iterations, and more than a few trial-and-error moments along the way.
Before the game hits Steam on Thursday, November 21st, I wanted to take a moment to answer some of the big questions that I’m sure are on your mind. So, without further ado, let’s jump into the IHAS Pre-Launch FAQ!
What makes IHAS unique?
IHAS is a Sci-Fi Action Adventure FPS, with a huge focus on exploration and puzzles. Traverse a huge spaceship on the hunt for the mysterious Phoenix Keys, as you battle hostile, alien robots. From a gameplay standpoint, the game’s multifunctional, main weapon, which combines shooting with a tractor beam, creates unique opportunities for puzzles.
How long is the game?
The game can be completed in about 3-6 hours.
Controller & Steam Deck support?
The game has native support for Xbox Controllers. It has not been tested on the Steam Deck.
Is there a campaign/story mode?
Yes! It’s a narrative-based game with a captivating science-fiction story, filled with philosophical undertones.
Can you tell us a little bit about the story?
In IHAS, you play as a cyborg that wakes up in an alien spaceship with his memory wiped. As you figure out that you’re living through the aftermath of some large-scale catastrophe, you try to uncover who you are. Filled with resolve, your aim is to unlock the secrets behind an alien invasion on Earth and destroy the extraterrestrial threat once and for all.
Can you tell us a bit more about the gun upgrades?
You start the game with a base pistol that can be upgraded with two modules. The first model is a laser that shoots one continuous beam. The other one is a shotgun that fires more spread-out proton blasts.
How do your choices as a player affect the game?
The choices you make throughout the game will affect the way the final boss battle plays out.
