Not only does the layout change, but you also lose all items in your inventory. This is justified in the narrative as the damaged deck modules of the ship that causes it’s layout to change whenever you die. Whatever methods you choose, however, won’t stop you from feeling a great sense of unease mainly because The Persistence is a roguelike that uses procedurally generated levels. You can either use these newly acquired tools at your disposal to fight threats head-on or sneak your way to your objectives. For ranged weapons, melee weapons, grenades, and other upgrades. To gain even more weapons however, you’ll need to use the various Fabricators the game includes, which acts as a sort of 3D printer whereby you put the materials and credits required to print one out. And since you move from one clone to the next once you inevitably die, it’ll definitely be helpful to improve them as you go through the game. The stem cells you gain from them can further be used to improve the stats of clones. Then there’s Super Sense which highlights enemies in the vicinity, and finally The Harvester a gun that can be used to harvest stem cells for enemies, which only works when you sneak up on them. You’ll also have a teleportation device that helps with fast movement until it eventually has to recharge. The first set of which you’ll be introduced to, include an energy shield that can block incoming attacks this helps a lot especially when you’re being crowded. All of which are well designed and look very science fiction. Luckily, the game offers you tons of weapons and gadgets to choose from in defending yourself. Once they do, they’ll be relentless in their attack to bring you down. The AI to these monsters is surprisingly competent as they’ll easily spot you if you aren’t careful. Though these zombie-like enemies are not hard to defeat or even gather in large numbers, (at first a least.) What makes them a tad frightening is the way they move and haunt their surroundings, almost feeling human. You are very much a stranger to the environments, and the sense of unease is further enhanced by the enemy wandering about the halls with you. The first thing that stands out the most when playing The Persistence is the way it makes players feel a sense of isolation when wondering the halls of the space ship. Coupled with the malfunctioning and aggressive droids plaguing the ship, and the need to fix all the major damaged ship components one at a time, officer Zimri has a lot on her plate to handle. So some will have their own set of tools or even weapons to use against you. The thing about the printer is, due to many damages the ship incurred, the machine starts to clone crazy and incomplete ship crew, most of which are engineers themselves. As the sole survivor, she cannot fix the ship by herself, so she resurrects the ship’s security officer, Zimri Eder by using a cloning printer. The player takes on the role of engineer Serena Karim, the only survivor in a space ship severely damaged by the effects of a black hole.
