Anomalous Games has made a recent post on their Tumblr page and released a couple of new images and gifs for their upcoming game based on #GamerGate called Project SOCJUS. It’s a side-scroller that stars #GamerGate’s mascot Vivian James and the updates roll out a few cool details on the weapons that will be at the disposal of gamers.

So far three weapons have been unveiled by the developers: the Beam Saber: Ethics Code, the Stun Gun: Citation Needler and the Railgun: ODIN.

Each weapon is detailed over on the Tumblr blog where they explain that the Beam Saber is a close-range melee weapon that can cut down and completely destroy someone when they get too close. The developers have plans on including an upgrade for it where Vivian can unleash a heavy attack against opponents. You can get a glimpse of the Beam Saber in action with the gif below, as spotted by Oliver Campbell.

The Stun Gun is another short range weapon that briefly incapacitates enemies. It can be upgraded to “Trigger” opponents as opposed to just stunning them.

The third weapon Anomalous Games unveiled was the Railgun, also known as the ODIN, which stands for the Operation Disrespectful Nod. The ODN was used to contain the FTC for federal crimes some corrupt journalists committed, as well as to pull advertising from media websites who were purposefully spreading misinformation as clickbait. You can check out the stats for each of the weapons in the image below, where it explains the damage, range and purpose for each weapon.

Various gamers were curious about what kind of game will Project SOCJUS exactly. According to Anomalous Games…

“The game is going to be a story-driven action-platformer RPG. While it’s not quite a fighting game, the main gameplay will feature fighting game elements, such as a combo system, parrying mechanics, special attacks, assists, and more.”

The game takes place in an alternate reality of 2014, several decades after 1984. Society is ruled under the iron thumb of the Matriarchy known as SOCJUS, a group that exercises censorship and totalitarianism through thought-policing. Vivian James is pulled into battle against the regime after her friend Gilda Mars is labeled as an internalized misogynist. In a fight to save her friend Vivian must battle through the forces of white knights and betas to free society and discover the “truth” behind the SOCJUS regime.

The whole thing is a parody on the current wave of Social Justice Warriors, and already the graphics look pretty good and the concepts are wildly impressive. According to Anomalous Games the engine code is running some of the core features at the moment and they still need to iron out the hit-scans, combat and physics, but they plan on releasing a public showcase reel at the end of October. So keep an eye out for that.
