Evaluation

Transient originally launched on October 28, 2020 as a complete single-player adventure game. On December 8, 2021, Stormling Studios released the Extended Edition as a free update for PC players, adding expanded Chapter 5 content, a brand-new ending, 4K/HDR support, additional achievements, and various quality-of-life improvements. This Extended Edition is the definitive version of the game — the current store listing carries the "Extended Edition" branding and describes these additions as going "beyond what you know." The only DLC ever released is the Original Soundtrack (released October 29, 2020), which has shipped. There are no unreleased DLC items, no roadmaps, no announced future content, and no developer communications since the Extended Edition launch in December 2021. The game launched as a narrative adventure with a defined story, and the Extended Edition represents its final, complete form.

About this game

Experience TRANSIENT like never before in the Extended Edition. Go beyond what you know with additional gameplay, a brand-new ending and an assortment of quality of life improvements.

From the creators of CONARIUM and the DARKNESS WITHIN series, comes TRANSIENT, a Lovecraftian Cyberpunk thriller.

In the distant, post-apocalyptic future, what is left of mankind lives in an enclosed citadel created to survive the harsh outside environment. Delve deep into this dystopian world and investigate what is happening to you and your friends. Solve puzzles, hack systems and plug in to explore other dimensions. Discover a truth that might tear apart your sanity and question your very existence.

“The Only Thing That Is Constant Is Change” ― Heraclitus

Experience a never-before seen blend between H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic existentialism and a grim, dystopian cyberpunk setting. Transient adapts and expands upon seminal pieces of both genres to ensure that your experience is both familiar and fresh at the same time.

From the forgotten wastes of Kor Shehr to the mean streets of Providence, Transient is filled to the brim with unforgettable locations to traverse. Explore reality, your own dreams, and the virtual world to meet a diverse cast of friends, foes, and beings in between.

Combining a swath of beautiful environments with a haunting original soundtrack creates an immersive experience.

You assume the role of Randolph Carter, a man equipped (read: augmented) for the job. Use your advanced perception heightening implant, PHI, to investigate your surroundings, scan for clues, and hack your way past barriers preventing you from uncovering the truth.
