The goal of this Nigerian based company is to help the world connect with African fantasy and science fiction, and Outliver:Tribulation is how they plan to do it.
Grbossoft’s OutLiver:Tribulation
OutLiver:Tribulation is a third-person survival game set in a supernatural realm of African mythology. The game, created by Grobossoft, follows the story of a soldier on the run from terrorists who suddenly finds herself in the middle of an ancient ritual.
After releasing an updated demo of the game earlier this year, Grbossoft announced the postponement of the game’s release date and set to work polishing up the game play and structure. They have now recently given an update on the game’s progress and it looks like it has received some visual upgrades and improvements on the storyline. But it appears that there’s still more work to do and Grobossoft are yet to announce the games’s release date.
