Convrgence is an FPS developed for virtual reality sets and solo play. The gameplay also takes inspirations from the so-called extraction shooters. The studio behind the creation of this game is Monkey With a Bomb, whose portfolio includes the game Paradox of Hope which is similar in genre and theme.

Plot

Convrgence takes us to the fictional Chernokamensk. At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, an explosion occurred in the local laboratory, which released a huge amount of energy. Like Pripyat (and especially its version from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series), the city was surrounded by a closed exclusion zone.

Over time, rumors began to circulate about artifacts, treasures, as well as dangers in the form of mysterious anomalies and bandits, wild animals, and monsters inhabiting it. Adventurous and wealth-hungry daredevils began to try their luck and cross its boundaries. We play as one of them, who goes there accompanied by his faithful German Shepherd dog.
