I Got Early Access To GoreBox 27!! (Gameplay Showcase)

Main summary

Key takeaways

Gaming

Storyline

  • No formal storyline is presented in this gameplay showcase. The video is focused on testing features and early build mechanics of GoreBox 27 (GB27).

Gameplay Highlights / New Features Shown

Early Access & Testing Grounds Map

  • Spawns directly in the Test Grounds area, skipping menu/map screens.
  • Spawning includes red arrow effects that fly around the player momentarily.

Improved Character UI

  • A more detailed character status indicator appears at the bottom-right.

Camera & Movement Options

  • Third-person camera is available (toggle), described as new to GB27 (previously mostly done via mods).
  • Flying mode:
    • Uses the N key.
    • Described as actual flight (not noclip).
    • You can’t reach certain structures/pillars directly by flying.
  • Physics & damage/death changes:
    • A new death/crawl mechanic: after reaching the pit, the player becomes “too groggy,” can crawl, then is eventually forced into give up/respawn.
    • Getting hit while flying can knock the player down.

Weapons and Inventory System

  • Ammo display/UI:
    • The chamber/ammo count decreases and becomes fully red at one point.
  • Weapons on your back react to switching:
    • Example behavior changes between pistol/P90 visibility.
  • Inventory menu improvements:
    • Each gun has more detailed info, including a tip (example: Beretta is weak—aim for the head).
    • You can unequip many weapons without dropping them on the ground.
    • Limitation: RCB-3 cannot be unequipped.
  • Weapon carry limit:
    • Maximum of four weapons.
  • RCB-2 / beam behavior:
    • Right-click is used to spawn objects.
    • The beam can shoot, but appears to require aiming at a movable prop.

World / Map Interactions

  • Pit mechanics:
    • The pit is extremely deep (“goes down forever”).
    • Players can descend/climb using hands on pillars (not present in the previous version).
    • Lighting effects are shown, including light rays.
  • Tower + physics props:
    • A legacy-like tower appears, but simplified.
    • Three physics balls can be pushed/kicked; the heavier ones can get stuck on pillars.
  • Parkour test elements:
    • Cube-jumping challenges with climb/grab behavior.
    • Sometimes requires double-tap jump to grab properly.
    • Wall-running / Prince-of-Persia-like movement is shown but portrayed as difficult (the player repeatedly fails).
  • Swimming:
    • Water appears clearer than in the most recent prior version.
    • Swimming animations are shown; some early-build behavior looks odd, but animations look improved overall.
  • Glass/platform visual test:
    • A shiny platform shows reflections that appear to include sky/clouds more than the player.

NPC Testing (Friendly and Hostile)

  • Friendly NPC categories:
    • Gordon (friendly):
      • Spawns with selectable behaviors/weapon options.
      • Walks/runs around with some early-build physics/behavior oddities.
    • Divine god dolls:
      • Can fly/crawl.
      • Early behavior may look “friendly,” but they can still attack the player in the demo.
      • Durability/strength is noted as about similar to the player’s strength (based on bullet tests).
  • Hostile NPC types:
    • Maniac convict: immediately chases; can be downed with one bullet in this early scenario.
    • Maniac: no “mutant” category yet; chases, can climb stairs, but pathing inside a cabin seems missing.
    • Maniac officer: similar concept, but with a gun.
    • Variants like “Sin divine” are spawned for combat testing.
    • At one point, NPCs can freeze in place and/or one variant can overpower the player.

Open-world / Bounds

  • Outside the test area, an open world exists.
  • The video warns not to go out of bounds—after respawning, the player may still feel impaired (a “drunk” effect is described).

Key Tips / Strategies Mentioned or Implied

  • Aim for headshots, especially noted for the Beretta because it’s weak.
  • Use double-tap jump during cube/parkour sequences to improve grabbing/climbing consistency.
  • Be careful while flying:
    • Collisions/obstacles can knock you down.
  • Use the spawn menu thoughtfully:
    • Opening it pauses the game behind you.
  • Manage weapon slots:
    • Carry up to four weapons; switching affects what’s visible on your back.
  • NPC combat testing:
    • Spawning too many strong NPCs at once can overwhelm you quickly (the player repeatedly dies during large spawn tests).
