Cosmic horror

It’s obtained some particular cosmic horror vibes, combined with tech and sci-fi themes round seemingly synthetic life. All of it feels very house horror, which granted, there’s been a good quantity of in the summertime showcases thus far.

What struck me about Signalis once I demoed it for final yr’s Tribeca Video games showcase was not simply the aesthetic, although. (Granted, the aesthetic is improbable.)

It’s obtained some basic Resident Evil really feel to it, with isometric viewpoints and thoroughly inserting pictures in slowly approaching monsters. It had an actual “each bullet counts” method that I dug. And the puzzle segments that dove into first-person saved issues shifting between the survival horror sections.

Rose-engine’s space-based scare fest has been one in all my most-anticipated indies for this yr, and that hasn’t modified but. I’m trying ahead to seeing the cosmic mysteries and horrors collide later this yr.
