El Paso, Elsewhere developer Unusual Scaffold has introduced a five-game cope with writer Frosty Pop. As a part of the announcement, they’ve revealed a trailer for his or her subsequent recreation, Life Eater, which is out on April 16, 2024.

I discover this trailer fairly unsettling.

The trailer exhibits off the sport’s timeline interface the place it’s essential to be taught the habits and schedule of your quarry so that you could be discover the chance to abduct them. You play as a “modern-day druid” who’s tasked with performing an annual sacrificial ritual to delay the tip of the world. It appears to be like like after getting your quarry, you then take their organs to “water the flower.”

Life Eater appears to be like to be a fairly evocative recreation. It has you violate the lives of others whereas framed as somebody performing a obligatory evil. Simply the truth that you’re studying intimate particulars of the lives of others and monitoring them for the second to strike is fairly discomforting. The knowledge on the sport even means that the entire “darkish god” angle is perhaps false. I’d play it.

The shop web page guarantees “replayable mix of authored and generated tales.” It options music from David Mason who was the composer of Dredge.

As an apart, there are modern-day Druids, as Druidry is a contemporary faith based mostly on pagan cultures. I don’t assume they often converse with darkish gods and carry out sacrifices. Simply bizarre to see that as a contextual descriptor.

Life Eater releases on PC on April 16, 2024.
