Some would say one of the best ways to wind down after a tough day down the Content Reactors isn’t to play a grotty occult horror sport, however I caught a trailer for Tenebris Somnia earlier, and couldn’t assist myself. In this foetid providing from Argentinian devs Andrés Borghi and Tobías Rusjan of Saibot Studios, you play a younger lady, Julia, who’s visiting her film-maker ex-boyfriend to drop off their previous condo key. Julia’s having a tough time getting over the break-up, however she’s clearly doing higher than her ex: his condo is filled with damaged glass, anomalous pink gloop and creepy occult books.
The sport’s twist is that it’s two visible types thrust into the identical body. On the one hand, you will discover an 8-bit world of unpleasantly brilliant colors, discovering and mixing objects adventure-game fashion (I say adventure-game-style, as a result of this is a little more energetic than most journey video games – you’ll be able to equip and swing a wrench, and there’s a run button). On the opposite hand, nicely. Click the headline to seek out out, in the event you dare. Yes, that is me making an attempt to do a jumpscare. Brace your self!
Yep, the sport’s 8-bit sections are interspersed with professionally shot and acted live-action sequences. Boo! The rapid query this raises for me is: which visible method is spookier? Frankly, I discover that 8-bit shadow behind the bathe curtain much more alarming than the film stuff, however I’m having fun with the hybrid fashion nonetheless. It makes me consider the nice previous days of the FMV. I’m additionally having fun with the monsters, who wouldn’t appear misplaced in Hellraiser.
You can strive the Tenebris Somnia demo out for your self on Steam. Here’s a trailer, for individuals who’d fairly not get their wrenches soiled.
