‘Infliction’ Descends Onto Consoles Later This Year
Good news for console owners who missed out on getting Caustic Reality’s Infliction when it was released on PC last year, as the developer has partnered with publisher Blowflish Studios to bring the psychological horror game to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch later this year.
The game, which will make an appearance at this year’s PAX West 2019 (August 30 to September 2 in Seattle), will set you back $19.99 USD.
Developed by the one-man team of Clinton McCleary and released in October 2018, Infliction is described as an interactive nightmare and horrific exploration of the darkness that can lurk within the most normal-looking suburban home. Wander through the remnants of a once-happy family, reading letters and journals, listening to voicemails, and piecing together clues to understand the terrible events that led you here.
However, you are not alone. Something else has remained in this house. While you hunt for clues as to what happened, that something else hunts you, waiting for its chance to unleash its anger on you.
