June 16 (UPI) -- Remedy Entertainment continues its innovation in video games in its latest supernatural romp, a three-player cooperative first-person shooter titled FBC: Firebreak that releases Tuesday.
The FBC stands for the Federal Bureau of Control, the clandestine government agency tasked with studying and containing paranormal threats that players will recognize from Remedy's critically-acclaimed games Control and Alan Wake II. Think of the FBC as similar to the Men in Black if it was created by David Lynch and dealt with the occult as opposed to aliens.
Players take on the role of the Firebreak team, a blue-collar unit tasked with eliminating threats and cleaning up the FBC's ever-changing headquarters known as the Oldest House.
The Firebreak team has access to three distinct kits that give each player a role to take on in every mission.
The Splash kit offers a large, crank-operated water gun that can put out fires and get rid of harmful status effects on teammates, while the Fix kit contains a wrench that can repair helpful machinery and stagger enemies. The Jump kit has access to an electric rod that can add power to devices, along with a jump ability to reach higher places.
