However, you’ll also be travelling to new places in this reimaginging, via portals that open up new worlds and settings outside of the manor. I was shown a ‘forgotten cemetery’ outside New Orleans and an oil rig in the bayou in a presentation earlier this week, and you’ll have to choose whether to play as Edward or Emily as you dig round their nooks and crannies. If I’m being brutally honest, it looks like any survival horror game that’s released over the last few years, what with all the over-the-shoulder exploring and shooting of monsters that look like inflated testes.
Then again, I’m not so sure it’s a bad thing the game looks similar to say, your Resident Evils and The Evil Withins. From the brief glimpses of the manor and its surrounds I saw during a presentation earlier this week, it looks suitably haunting. It’s also brimming with little puzzles that involve slotting bits into a wall and rotating them. So yes, for what it’s worth, it looks like a good time. Whether it’s agrandtime that can stand tall amongst the rest of thehorror gamecompetition, though? Well, that remains to be seen. No release date yet, but you can find out more on itsSteampage.
