Morteshka, the developer behind The Mooseman and The Black E-book, has proven off their newest horror concoction, One-Eyed Likho, in a brand new trailer.

Don’t alter your monitor. The 4:3 facet ratio is a characteristic of this first-person strolling sim horror. One-Eyed Likho is predicated on the Slavic folklore creature of the identical identify. The developer describes it as “Likho is an embodiment of evil destiny and misfortune in Slavic mythology.”

Not solely is One-Eyed Likho in 4:3, however it’s additionally in greyscale. The latter isn’t completely unusual, however the former is fairly uncommon lately on the subject of 3D titles. However past these visible quirks, the sport appears relatively fascinating. There’s some good horror imagery and good use of the sport’s darkness. There’s a number of arson depicted, which is all the time a plus in my e-book. Morteshka describes it as “burn mechanics,” which I can get behind. The protagonist additionally burns their fingers in the event that they maintain a lit match for too lengthy, which is one thing I’ve all the time wished to see.

I don’t usually deliberately hunt down strolling simulator video games, however I normally benefit from the ones that I play. As a cinematic splinter of the journey style, they’re an efficient manner of telling a story. Additionally, they appear to acknowledge which you could’t simply resolve each drawback with a gun or perhaps a size of metallic pipe, which is one thing we must always all study.

One-Eyed Likho is at present set to launch someday in 2024. There might be a demo for it from October 26 to November 2, 2023.
