Beacon is an isometric roguelike by Monothetic, the same developers behind Black Snow (Half-Life 2).Freja Akiyama is not having a good day.Her corporate ship has crash-landed on a remote planet far from anything resembling home.The wildlife is out to kill her.The corporate security robots are out to kill her.The things those robots were imprisoning are out to kill her.And worse still, they all have already killed her. Many, many times.The new Freja Akiyama, fresh from the cloning bay and the only functioning part of the crashed ship, is not having a good day.But with a host of mutations that do everything from simply hardening her skin to turning her arm into a leech to sap the health of enemies, all the way up to transforming her into a demon from another dimension, she might just get off this rock...Published on itch.io in 2018 and Steam in 2021. | |

And Then John Was a Zombie | |
| Beacon (2018) (Video Game) / int_115d318 | comment |
And Then John Was a Zombie: Unsurprisingly, taking enough mutations of a certain faction can influence your ending, and if it does happen, they involve becoming something from that faction, like turning into a Tritoraptor. | |

Shipwreck Start | |
| Beacon (2018) (Video Game) / int_162e5d11 | comment |
Shipwreck Start: Interstellar mercenary Freja Akiyama, or rather, her clones, have to deal with having crash landed onto a planet with near-constantly violent factions, and has to fight her way through them to her distress beacon so she can make it call for an extraction. | |

Autosave: Whenever Freja activates a Beacon, the game saves itself. Except for the final beacon, where it doesn't save until after the cloning process has finished. Unlike a usual roguelike, it doesn't prevent quitting and reloading for another try, but with a slightly different Randomly Generated Level | |

Ace Custom: Most weapons have special variants cooked up by previous versions of Freja, usually doing more damage at the cost of a longer reload and/or smaller magazine. They range from extensive bio-modification of organic weaponry to simply turning off the corporate-mandated power limiter. | |

Body Horror | |
| Beacon (2018) (Video Game) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Every mutation, even the most minor one, involves some kind of transformation that's usually painful. These range from Freja's skull elongating and her face clinging to the new skull by shreds, to her jaw sloughing off entirely to be replaced by extradimensional tentacles. | |

Our Demons Are Different | |
| Beacon (2018) (Video Game) / int_50ed1af4 | comment |
Our Demons Are Different: The Flauros, skull-headed "aliens" that are strongly implied to be really just demons. Many of them consist of strange goat-or-horse-like skulls wrapped in cloaks, hurling extradimensional hellfire. | |

Raptor Attack | |
| Beacon (2018) (Video Game) / int_695efde3 | comment |
Raptor Attack: Tritoraptors, dromeosaur-styled aliens with a similar bodyplan and a penchant for leaping like Jurassic Park raptors onto prey and mauling them to death with a pack. They're feathered, too, albeit with razor-sharp quills. Unlike most raptor-styled aliens, they get bigger as they age, and the adults look like an angry cross between a Megaraptor, T. rex, and a Triceratops. Mutations you can get from them include the ability to leap like they can, and the relevant boss mutation allows you to become one. | |

Cosmic Horror Story | |
| Beacon (2018) (Video Game) / int_6a1c2a6 | comment |
Cosmic Horror Story: The Uncharted faction is split between an encroaching pack of demons and Lovecraftian horrors that each have artifacts that PRISM could barely comprehend, let alone Freja. One artifact she finds has her hearing voices she knows are familiar to her and fearing that she'll go insane if she stays near it. | |

Kill It with Fire | |
| Beacon (2018) (Video Game) / int_9c1f758a | comment |
Kill It with Fire: PRISM bots trend towards fire-based weapons, and it's justified in keeping the local wildlife at bay or making sure the flora don't grow onto any PRISM structures. A variety of weapons, ranging from a flame-spewing revolver to a flare gun, also exist, and just like the PRISM bots, do far more damage against organic enemies. | |

Double-Edged Buff | |
| Beacon (2018) (Video Game) / int_b73379e4 | comment |
Double-Edged Buff: Mutations are changes applied to Freja's body that lasts about 3 lives and can randomly occur when a new clone is made with non-human DNA. For example: Gaseous Sack replaces her legs with said sack, exchanging max Hit Points for jump height. Shard Cluster, in exchange for 80 Speed, gives 20% resistance and a chance to make a Counter-Attack when damaged. Reactive Flesh actually involves status effects. It exchanges 40 Hit Points for 40 Stamina and when damaged, Freja might grow or shrink. Growth gives 100% Resistance, but removes 100 Speed, and Shrinking gives 300 Speed while taking 33% Resistance. | |

Clone Angst: While Freja normally doesn't dwell too much on the fact she's continually killed and brought back to life, the blues don't hit until two of the endings when Freja makes it off planet: Discovering a way to contact her parents, but their muted surprise makes it clear that they've greeted multiple iterations of their daughter multiple times. She uses this to her advantage by becoming an Unperson as a result, giving her the freedom to explore the galaxy without any ties. Second Chance: She doesn't contact anyone but discovers that the cloning bay has been on so long that when one of the Frejas makes it off-planet, she finds it's been centuries. | |
