Dolmen takes place on a hostile alien world known as Revion Prime, the location of the greatest recorded massacre in galactic history. The entire planet is basically a floating graveyard, and its remote location means that few people head that way for any reason, plus the planet's coordinates were lost long ago. The nearest neighboring planets are four gas giants and a nearby star called Nynfield. Sounds like a nice place, right? It gets worse.
As the sole survivor of a crew of astronauts pulled from charted space and abducted into a distant future, you awake below the planet's surface with no supplies, and being on Revion Prime alone is not what you want to spend your week doing. Luckily, there is life on the planet, but unluckily, as you can probably assume, it all wants to kill you. Time to find some gear.
All gear on the planet has to be harvested from the finite resources available on the planet, so you'll need to craft armor, weapon upgrades and consumables as you try to survive, and power your space suit with Reactors to gain new attributes, kind of like Dead Space. Also like Dead Space, the planet is home to many, many kinds of eldritch horrors and monsters that populate the planet, and they all react dynamically and differently when attacked. You'll gain experience and level up your character to fit your play style, and you'll establish a base which must be kept stocked.
For more info on where your hard earned dough went, Pedro Bastos, the producer of Dolmen breaks it down below:
"Where Stars Bleed is our first chapter on the world of Revion Prime, What you should expect from Chapter 1 is around 4-6 hours of gameplay, 2 Unique Bosses, Champions and 5 unique types of enemies that each have different fighting styles and hierarchies, 2 Armour sets that can be upgraded and customized to change the way you play DOLMEN. Each Tier of armor will come with different visuals and higher stats than its predecessor.
There will be 5 Melee weapons combined with 3 different shields you will use to face the foes of Revion Prime, Your melee weapons will be complemented by 3 different Ranged weapons each varying in how they compliment your time in Revion Prime. There will be 2 different Reactors for you to use in DOLMEN and these will affect how you play the game."
