Good news, fans of dire implications! Daniel Mullins, developer of RPS bestest besthorrorcomedyInscryptionand the equally acclaimed/diabolicalPony Island, appears to be making something new.
The trail begins with noted announcement-purveyor Geoff Keighley sending Mullins the below Xeet about a mysterious video on Saturday 25th November. The video in question “isn’t available any more” - if I were a betting man, which I only ever am when it comes toSoul Reaverannouncements, I’d say it will be revealed in full at the The Game Awards next week on 7th December, though it’s possible Mullins aficionadoes will unbreak the URL ahead of time.

PCGamesNhas also detected some eldritch goings-on over in theDaniel Mullins Games Discord. Two new “Admin Assistant” and “AdBot” accounts have joined, the former “here to do a job”, the latter “always watching”.

The user named Adbot is also taking questions on Discord. “This is so cute,” reads one post from today. “It’s like watching a bunch of kittens scramble over each other to climb out of a box. But they just keep falling over. So cute.”
If you’ve played Mullins’s previous games, all this will read like business as usual. Indeed, I’m already slightly worried the unannounced project will retread ground from Pony Island, which was also about interacting with a cursed computer. But a game woven around a malevolent chatbot would certainly betimelyand who knows, perhaps it’ll do what Inscryption did and turn into something completely different halfway through.
