About This Game
Cypress Inheritance: The Beginning came out in 2014. We went through a lot of changes after the launch and added two fairly large areas that made up the three chapters of this first game. We did have some issues to address and have done this as well as improved greatly on what is currently available. However, because of the way it initially came out, we did not see the results we wanted and certainly want the game to be what it was supposed to be. We have been working to rebuild this entirely in UE4. We have gone through a lot of changes in the company and this has taken longer than we expected but we are still working to complete and get launched. We are confident we will get the game to where it is an exceptional experience, very engaging, with replay ability because of design. . In our rebuild in UE4 we are also adding a considerable amount of additional content with several changes to the game play. CITB when done will be what was intended, but dramatically improved, with using the benefits of UE4 and many additions to the game play. We also are making tremendous changes to all the art , UI, characters and overall flow of the game. Additionally we are adding achievements and trading cards.

Overview for Cypress Inheritance: The Beginning
Cypress Inheritance: The Beginning will give you a unique gaming experience to enjoy. We intended for this game to enable the player to have options, as well as objectives in an environment with an A.I. that is defending the area. Cypress Inheritance: The Beginning delivers a true-to-life, stealthy gaming experience set in multiple open worlds. As you experience our true cause and effect system while on the path to achieving your goals, the strategy you use will have consequences and those decisions will ultimately determine your success or failure.
Cypress Inheritance: The Beginning includes Chapters I and II, and III. Chapters II and III continue the story, giving more to encounter and discover. These three chapters complete the game.

Chapter II Screenshots
Chapter III
Below are a few screenshots from the two environments from Chapter III. Chapter III has very strong visuals which include two distinctly unique, detailed environments. The game play in this chapter is also a little different from the first two chapters. There is more action, as well as more interaction within the environment. As you make your way through the environment you will need to be extremely vigilant, as Vonya is watching and waiting.
