Saturnalia is an upcoming indie survival horror with some of the fascinating visible kinds 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 more horror-esque thriller thrillers). In it, you management 4 completely different characters, all linked by means 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 precisely the same – you will have to explore and solve mysteries of the game largely unguided,” the sport’s web site reads. “Die, and watch the village reconfigure itself into a new form. Solve puzzles and open shortcuts to new areas with tools and items you find along the way, unlocking every piece of the story with different characters, each suited for another aspect of exploration and investigation.”
All of that sounds nice, however Saturnalia's distinctive artwork type makes me most excited. It’s like a mixture of stop-motion and sketchbook, which seems prefer it’ll lend itself properly to the sport's horror components. Test it out for your self beneath:
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 should 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 is still TBA.
