Evaluation

P.A.M.E.L.A. launched into Early Access in 2017 and spent several years in development, shipping major content updates along the way — including a new district (Nirvana) in February 2018 and the Geist area expansion in December 2018. On June 18, 2020, the game officially released version 1.0, completing the long-promised story update with a fully voiced prologue, main story missions, and side quests. The developer's announcement leading up to launch explicitly described this as "calling the game complete after all these years." The 1.0 launch post echoed this, celebrating the end of the Early Access chapter. After launch, the developer issued a small bug-fix patch on July 21, 2020 (v1.0.0.5), addressing performance and gameplay issues — the last recorded developer communication. No additional content, expansions, DLC, or roadmap items have been announced since launch. There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store. The developer clearly communicated that 1.0 represented the completion of the game's development journey.

About this game

P.A.M.E.L.A. is an intense open-world survival horror game set in Eden, a fallen Utopian city.

Play as a Sleeper, awoken from cryosleep in Eden, a fallen utopia wrought with death and danger. Utilize a wide range of hi-tech weapons, equipment, and build-able items that can be upgraded to suit your needs. Meet PAMELA, an omnipresent AI overseer who is left alone watching over the once-vibrant city, now reduced to a silent monolith gliding across the ocean.

Key Features

  • Friends and Foes
Survive against multiple NPC factions, including the Afflicted citizens, security droids, robotic custodians, and more mysterious denizens hidden within Eden's depths. Each faction exhibits its own unique behaviors and alliances which can be manipulated to turn the tide of combat.

  • Scavenge to Survive
Experience tense gameplay in a richly developed sci-fi universe. Each decision is meaningful, and each encounter could be your last. Wield and customize an array of modular equipment to defend yourself and explore the environment. Utilize an immersive UI and full body awareness, which removes all boundaries between the player and the horrors of Eden.


  • Enhance Yourself to Thrive
Manage the power reserves of the city, using energy only when necessary to avoid the dangers of being stranded in the dark. Upgrade your weaponry, and construct a safe haven to defend against the denizens of Eden. Enhancing your body with Bio-Augments will give you an advantage over your enemies, but at what cost?


  • Uncover the Truth
Uncover the tragic events that lead to the downfall of a civilization, and fight for your life as the broken citizens of Eden defend their home against your intrusion. With a personality-driven AI system, no encounter will be the same as the Afflicted react in unpredictable ways, driven by their excruciating pain and disfiguring disease.
