Reynor "Ron" Adams, a career soldier with eight years in the assault infantry. He returns to Karna after five years in cryosleep, and early on something in a dead elevator bites his left forearm. From then on the arm is not entirely his.

A mining planet in the Beta Virgo system, owned end to end by the corporation Tibet Innovations. It is hot and dusty, mud storms roll through, and it rains melted mineral instead of water, so you wear a filter mask outdoors. It rains liquid plastic here.

The corporation that owns Karna. It runs the mine, the refinery, the research lab and its own private army, which it calls a security service. On Karna the company is the law.

In 2583, 28 of the 42 miners in Deep Shaft 17 came up with a fever of 40°C and breathing trouble, and express tests could not find the cause. That outbreak is where the story begins.

In 2583. Everything on Karna dates from the incident in Mine 17.

Both. Dixotomia has two playstyles, sci-fi guns and vampiric abilities, each with its own upgrade tree. There are 26 abilities across the two trees, and the trees are incompatible, so your build leans one way or the other.

That is the central question. Every decision on Karna pulls you toward one side or the other, rewrites the story and decides which powers and allies stand with you. Remain human or embrace the dark side.

The technology tree covers pistols, rifles, an SMG, a shotgun, a machine gun, a plasma cannon and grenades. The arsenal shown on this site includes the M-79, the Spark, Baryonyx, Jormungand, Phobos 2T24 and Poseidon.

An experimental weapon from Tibet's lab that Reynor wears on his bracer. It is a weapon, not a power, and part of the technology side of the game.

Bloodthirsty vampires and their shadow masters, plus cultists, androids, mercenaries and mutants. On this site you can meet the robot soldier, the zombie soldier, the sniper and the patrol.

Alister Duncan, Edward Price, Viviana Eidenhart and a dragon. They are characters from the story, and some of the people you meet gradually turn against you.

Seven named locations: the Mine, Tibet HQ, the Lab, the Tower, the Refinery, the Quarry and the Polygon. Expect industrial complexes, Mars-like quarries, towering skyscrapers and research facilities with occult influences, with full freedom of movement.

It is a horror shooter: vampires, mutants and an infection that changes your own body, in a world run by one corporation. Steam lists adjustable difficulty, so you can tune how hard it hits.
