In 2009’s Zeno Clash, PC gamers were introduced to a world where their fists did the talking. You don’t need to have played that game or its sequel to enjoy Artifacts Of Chaos, which is why it won’t be called Zeno Clash 3, but it’s informed by everything that came before, including the team’s first foray into this setting, an unreleased prototype that is itself called Zenozoik. Using Jupiter, an iteration of Monolith’s LithTech Engine, Zenozoik took inspiration from a variety of sources, such as the punk fantasy art of adventure gamebooks like Steve Jackson’s Sorcery!, the architecture of Antoni Gaudí, and the painted hellscapes of Hieronymous Bosch. Zenozoik never saw the light of day beyond a few clips released online but it laid the foundations for Zeno Clash, a series that followed warrior Ghat as he explored the land and got to know its denizens through first-person fist fights.
