About

Samson: A Tyndalston Story is a fast-paced, intense game where you’ll face tough choices and struggle to survive in a brutal city. It focuses on the pressures of debt and the consequences of your actions.

You play as Samson McCray, a man desperately trying to escape a mounting debt that feels impossible to handle. He’s forced to rely on fighting, quick thinking, and risky decisions as the city of Tyndalston constantly throws obstacles his way. The combat is brutal and realistic, and your choices have real consequences, creating a relentless cycle of pressure and difficult decisions.

In Samson: A Tyndalston Story, you’re constantly facing consequences. Every day brings new debts that grow over time, and you have limited energy to complete tasks. Every choice you make affects how the city views you, and there’s no way to undo mistakes. You have to keep moving forward, because doing nothing will only make things worse.

Liquid Swords was created by Christofer Sundberg, bringing together the talented developers behind popular games like Just Cause and Mad Max. Their expertise in realistic action, intricate game design, and creating immersive worlds is the foundation of Samson: A Tyndalston Story. The game focuses on a tightly-paced, impactful narrative that grabs you from the very beginning.
