Blown fuses? Spooky bunker? You know what to do.
Chasing Staticis both the name of this lo-fi Welsh horror story and also an accurate description of me attempting to track down a post about it on RPS. Someone’s written about it. I just know it. Oh no, we’ve just mentioned it several times in a roundabout way. Well, I’ve finally pinned it down—chased the clues and cornered it now that it’s launched and I can tell you a thing or two about it. Chasing Static is a swell and spooky story so far with a good chunk of classic horror game puzzling and just a bit of sudden scares. Come on and have a quick look.

That is indeed part of how Chasing Static starts. It also starts with the death of Chris’s father, who was involved with something called The Institute, according to a mysterious diary he left behind. If I know anything about institutions, it’s that the mundane ones get acronyms and the ones that are definitely up to something spooky just get called Institute. Sure enough, there’s something paranormal going on in a mysterious bunker outside a rural town called Hearth.
Aside from all that, it’s got that fun lo-fi look that originally got its demo into theHaunted PS1 demo discfrom February. It’s also got some nice voice acting too.
You can find Chasing Static yourself overon Steamwhere it’s currently 15% off for £9.68/$12.74 until October 21.
