“Bathroom Break” gameplay of El Paso, Elsewhere is 7 minutes of guns, slo-mo, and diving

From Press Release:

Fresh from its first playable demo at GDC, developer Strange Scaffold (Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator) released a hell of a chunk of real-time gameplay from its upcoming neo-noir shooter about love, addiction and filling monsters with lead, El Paso, Elsewhere today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VJdA9Mg6Ns

Dubbed a “beautifully haunting story of love, loss, and redemption” by The Verge and a “hell-raising, supernatural melodrama” by Digital Trends in previews, fans can now get a close-up, in-depth look at the warped reality miles below a motel in El Paso, Texas and the terrifying creatures you’ll slay there.

Slaughtering their way through the haunting void of the motel, players will come across strange, labyrinthian areas. Highlighted in today’s level playthrough is a lengthy nonstop action sequence set in between… rows of distorted bathroom stalls (you read that right). With sharpshooting dual pistols, a deadly shotgun and badass slo-mo diving, protagonist James Savage makes quick, efficient work of the monsters in his path leaving nothing behind but blood and broken porcelain.

On a painful trip to stop his former love, the vampire lord Draculae, from completing a ritual that would end the world, players guide James Savage through dozens of twisted floors underneath this motel, fighting not only against the monsters in front of them but also Savage’s memories of his old life and relationship. The only thing more haunting than the creatures players will blast away is Savage’s own past.

El Paso, Elsewhere is lead designer Xalavier Nelson Jr’s most ambitious game to date. It’s set to release this Fall on Xbox and PC.
