Waku Waku Games Launches Steam Page for Alien Entity Hal-09

Waku Waku Games has officially launched the Steam store page for Alien Entity Hal-09, a third-person survival shooter developed by indie studio Moyashi Giken. The title is currently in development for Windows and features an anime-inspired aesthetic set within a post-apocalyptic world devastated by war and climate change.

Players control Kaede Kuratsuki and Kozue Kuroishi, two Navy personnel clones tasked with exploring submerged city ruins to recover supplies and locate a unique half-plant lifeform named Hal. The narrative premise centers on these characters navigating dangerous environments filled with remnants of old defense systems and failed animal experiments while managing their own biological needs.

The gameplay loop integrates combat with extensive survival mechanics, requiring players to monitor vitals such as oxygen levels, heart rate, hunger, and bathroom breaks. Feeding characters improperly can lead to exhaustion or vomiting during missions. Additionally, the clone system introduces a death penalty where abilities deteriorate with each revival, adding strategic friction to expeditions.
