World War 1 survival horror Conscript was one of the bigger surprises of last year, with its unvarnished depiction of a French soldier's journey through the battle of Verdun thoroughly impressing reviewer Alexander Chatziioannou. "Every aspect of the game feels meticulously crafted to convey the absurdity and depravity of war," he wrote in his Conscript review. "For sheer, despair-inducing darkness, no game in recent memory captures the torment humanity can inflict upon itself quite like Conscript."
Alexander awarded Conscript a highly respectable score of 83, but it seems developer Jordan Mochi wasn't satisfied with the version that launched last July. Since then, Mochi has been working on a massive update to Conscript, one that extensively reworks many aspects of the experience—including the name, as it's now called Conscript: Director's Cut.
