What devices
Beware is an open-world driving simulation currently in-development by Ondrej Svadlena,[1] with sharp undercurrents of tension, disorientation, & paranoia. The player is dropped into anonymous, listless locations, hampered by dense fog and rain-slick backroads. Beware at its core is about “information-gathering through exploration,”[2] as the player encounters various solitary landmarks—as well as mysterious events—on their path from a “rural holiday” locale towards a “big city.”[3] The game is currently in-development, with new features and updates announced through Svedlana’s Patreon. Beware’s demo can be downloaded for PC from IndieDB for free, or from Svadlena’s aforementioned Patreon. Beware is being developed using Unity Engine.[2]
Gameplay[]
According to Svadlena, current implementation of features includes a physics-based driving engine, realistic opponent AI sans rubber-banding, rudimentary stealth, & the presence of one “mission” for players to complete. [4] More features will be implemented in the future, such as faster AI vehicle recovery-time after being struck by the player.
Beware’s demo begins in media res—the player, inside a grizzled, white Škoda 120, drives away from a trailer park. Pavement gives way to the main road—the road in which players will spend most of their time hiding, speeding, & strategizing. Eventually the player encounters a bright, yet functioning Power Plant, hidden behind a chain fence. Its size & light output viciously contrast the environment’s desolation. The player’s sight of it is brief, yet consequential; through the gaps of the chain-link, the player watches four men, in dark suits, suddenly pile into a car. Many players speed off, hopeful that they’d outrun the AI’s range detection. This is not the case.
Soon enough, headlights appear in the rear-view mirror. For a few moments, the headlights seem far away & non-threatening, but this is a ruse. These men—known as Pursuers—are aggressive, keen to apprehend the player at any cost.
They attempt this by ramming their car into the player’s Škoda 120 with the intent to cause vehicular malfunction; these men will also attempt to run the player off the road & cause their car to stall or crash. Should the player’s Škoda 120 be damaged too much, it will result in a game over. Being stalled and/or crashed off-road by the Pursuers will lead to them exiting their vehicle & approaching the player’s door. The Pursuers then attempt to rip the driver’s side door open, which the player will hear is successful, as the game delivers a black screen with a single world: “Death.”
In order to evade the Pursuers, the player must be strategic, & use the environment to their advantage. Beware’s roads are littered with tight turns—some are located within the heavy-forested area of the map. These turns can be good opportunities to induce a loss of control in the Pursuers’ driving engine, leading to their becoming wedged between trees, or turned around. It is important to slow down the Pursuers as much as possible; it is even more important that the player keep distance between themselves & the Pursuers for the duration of the game.
The Pursuers will continue to hunt for the player even after the player has lost them. Therefore, diligence while exploring is encouraged.
Once the player has lost the Pursuers in the forest, the road will lead to a friendly face. Stood in the briars is an elderly woman known as Babushka. She holds a lamp, & at first, is terrified of the player. The player must be patient in approaching Babushka in order to advance forward in the narrative. Follow the light of her lamp slowly through the forest, careful to evade Pursuers. Eventually, Babushka will approach the player’s car, & gesture for them to follow her.
Babushka will guide the player through the forest, all the way to a small house. She will disappear for a moment—then re-emerge with a quaint portrait of herself & an elderly man in her hands. Babushka holds this portrait up to the player, where the player can then see that the elderly man in the portrait is depicted flipping a power switch. This communicates to the player that restoring power is the objective.
In order to do so, the player must have passed by the Power Plant twice—the first time to send out one group of four Pursuers, & the second time to send out the last group of four. In doing so, the player clears the Power Plant of any on-ground security, & is free to enter the gate—which is left open—& flip the power switch, restoring power to the area.

The Beware demo is like living through a car chase in a horror movie
Nearly every driver who has ever driven late at night has experienced this: You’re the only one on the road, when suddenly, another car appears behind you. Your mind begins to irrationally fearing what would happen if that car wasn’t just going the same direction, but it was chasing you.
The demo for Beware, an in-development PC game by Ondrej Svadlena that was previously known as Driving Survival, shows you exactly what happens when that fear becomes reality. The demo is still in its very early stages, but it captures so much of the tense, ’70s movie-style car chase scenes that it draws inspiration from.
I started the game in the middle of the night in the center of a muddy trailer park. As I pulled my car onto the road, the slick and uneven ground immediately made me feel uneasy. That feeling was furthered by the utter lack of any other signs of life or noise, except for my car’s engine and the sound of my wheels trying to gain traction.
As I slowly drove away from the park, I eventually ran across a lone facility drenched in light. At first, my mind was put at rest, knowing I wasn’t alone in this dark forest. That’s until I drove past the building and saw a flash of light behind me. It was another car. An ominous bassline began to play as the car drew in closer in my rear view mirror.

As it came even closer, my car become flooded with the shine of its headlights. This was something that always made me feel uncomfortable when I drove at night. When this happens in real life, it almost feels like you’re at the mercy of the car behind you. Their headlights feel more powerful than yours and you can only drive where their light shines. Beware easily recreated that anxiety for me, especially because I knew this vehicle was following me.
Nonetheless, I was able to keep moving forward, even being able to put some distance between me and the other car.
Eventually, the vehicle stopped tailing me and instead, pulled past me and got in front of me. That’s when I noticed the driver wasn’t alone.

Inside the car were several others dressed in what looked like clown masks. Once they got in front of me, they seemed focused on trying to drive me off the road. They would make me stop short, which made me swerve out of control or weave so badly I almost hit a tree head on. Soon enough, their plan worked as I skidded off the road so hard, my car careened into a massive mud patch. I was stuck.
All I could do was desperately look around as I saw the shady characters stop, turn off their lights and storm my car with flashlights pointed directly into my car to blinding me. Then they rushed my vehicle and it was all over.

Beyond simply trying to stay alive, Beware offers up some open-world exploration, with several puzzles to solve and characters to come across.
The whole story itself isn’t clear, as the game is still very early in its development, but its impact as a spooky driving sim feels completely polished.
Driving at night is scary enough, especially when you’re struggling to keep your car on the road. All my anxieties about late night drives felt completely realized in this short demo. It’s been years since I’ve driven down a wooded and lonely road at night and the demo for Beware makes me never want to do it again.

Description
Doraemon: Story of Seasons continues the story of Noby and his friends! The popular farming simulator with a quarter of a century of history and the participation of the iconic Japanese animation character Doraemon has received a continuation, becoming even more diverse than before!
Plant seeds, breed animals and use useful Doraemon gadgets.
This charming story will not leave anyone indifferent!
It’s cozy here. Everyone is welcome here.
• Noby and his friends arrive on an unknown planet, where they meet a boy named Lumis. Together they settle on the old farm of their new acquaintance and gradually return it to its former glory, and also just spend time with each other — for example, watching fireworks, admiring the starfall or meeting the sunrise.
Doraemon devices provide unprecedented freedom
• Without Doraemon in the household, nowhere! His gadgets can make farming hard work a lot easier: chase clouds in the Mini Raincloud to water crops, grow ready-made meals with Farm Restaurant, create an entire garden in the sky with Hopter and Extra Hold Cloud Spray, dive deeper and breed pearls with Adapting Ray … The possibilities are almost endless!
This homely, cozy world seems to have descended from the pages of a fairy tale book
• Natural lighting, wind movement and ambient sounds bring the picture to life.
