‘Please’ Delves Into More Retro-Styled Horror Goodness
If you’ve been paying attention, folks like Puppet Horror have been making noise with their throwback games that are purposely styled to echo 90s survival horror classics. In this case, Somewhat is continuing that trend with their upcoming game, Please.
The game, which can be completed in seven minutes, is to the point and purposely vague in its description: In an alternate timeline where we won the war, you are the repair person. You fix things. You keep things running. You do what you’re told. We asked you so nicely.
Despite the short length, the game definitely has the creep factor thanks to its vagueness. You wake up in a building, presumably an apartment building, where strange noises are heard behind the other residents’ doors. Every day you head down to the basement where the aforementioned machine resides. You repair some boxes, or flip some switches. It only gets stranger from there.
If you want to check it out (and you should), hit up Somewhat’s itch.io page, where you can download the game, and toss a few bucks the creator’s way.
Thanks for the heads up, Alpha Beta Gamer.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
