Saturnalia is an upcoming indie survival horror with one of the attention-grabbing visible types I’ve seen within the style in a minute.
Developed by Italy-based studio Santa Ragione, Saturnalia is influenced closely by the folklore of Sardinia, Italy, and impressed by Italian Giallo horror movies (usually extra horror-esque thriller thrillers). In it, you management 4 completely different characters, all related by way of a mysterious storyline that ties again to the “haunting traditions” of an historic village.
“The village itself is an elaborate maze with no two iterations being exactly the identical – you’ll have to discover and remedy mysteries of the sport largely unguided,” the sport’s web site reads. “Die, and watch the village reconfigure itself into a brand new kind. Remedy puzzles and open shortcuts to new areas with instruments and gadgets you discover alongside the way in which, unlocking every bit of the story with completely different characters, every fitted to one other side of exploration and investigation.”
All of that sounds nice, however Saturnalia’s distinctive artwork fashion makes me most excited. It’s like a mixture of stop-motion and sketchbook, which appears to be like prefer it’ll lend itself properly to the sport’s horror parts. Test it out for your self under:
Santa Ragione is the studio behind video games like Fotonica, MirrorMoon EP, and Wheels of Aurelia. Saturnalia doesn’t but a launch date, however it can hit PC completely by way of the Epic Video games Retailer someday in 2022. The studio is planning to launch the sport on different platforms, however the timing on that continues to be TBA.
