Square Enix’s Left Alive Gets New Gameplay Showing the Power of an Empty Can

Today Square Enix released a couple of interesting gameplay videos of its upcoming survival shooter Left Alive.

The two videos, launched on the game’s official Twitter account, star Director Toshifumi Nabeshima as he showcases different mechanics of the game.

The first video shows off the usage of basic items that can simply be grabbed from the ground. We see how a simple empty tin can be thrown to distract enemies or even to draw them towards an explosive trap.

The second video showcases crafting, and the empty can returns, this time as an ingredient to create an “explosive can.” It works similarly to a grenade (which we also see in action), but it’s different because it doesn’t involve a delay before the explosion.
