‘IMMURE: Part Two’ Now Available As DLC For The Original Game
It’s been a long while since the first part to Wither Studios’ psychological horror game IMMURE hit Steam. Now the developer has announced Part Two, which is now available on Steam as DLC for the first part.
In IMMURE, you play as Will, a man trapped in the mysterious and foreboding Mansion, unable to leave. In order to escape, Will must make his way through strange doors that lead to hostile and otherworldly dimensions. In these dimensions, Will must decide whether or not to save or destroy the creatures.
In Part Two, IMMURE protagonist Will meets two sisters who blame each other for the tragedy which has befallen their family. He must find the culprit, save or destroy the tormented soul, and as in the first part, find out why he is trapped in the mansion.
You can play the first part of IMMURE on Steam for free. Wither Games still plans on releasing the title to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
Up next from Hideo Kojima is OD, an enigmatic new horror gaming experience in collaboration with Jordan Peele. While Kojima remains tight-lipped on details, he has recently teased the game’s innovative new fear-based mechanics.
Speaking with EW on the state of Xbox at its 25th anniversary, Kojima, in typical fashion, cryptically skirted details but teased an entirely new gaming system built for the upcoming game. One that’s unlike anything else, and designed with the scary experience in mind.
“I wanted to do something new. I wanted to do something different. I had this OD concept since I was working on DS1 [Death Stranding], and I was working on it just by myself. I can’t reveal much detail, but it’s something that no one has ever seen before. A new game system,” Kojima tells EW.
Whatever it is, it’s revolutionary enough to have scared off all companies, big and up-and-coming, from tackling OD. Until, that is, former Xbox CEO Phil Spencer and successor Asha Sharma saw the project and decided to publish it. Sharma called OD a “deeply moving game. I’ve got great artists and creatives that can pick a great game better than I can, and so I want to give it space, but most importantly, I think it just represents another kind of game.”
OD is meant to test players’ mettle when it comes to fear, but the new system will also make the game more accessible for the more scare-averse players.
Kojima teased, “I wanted to go beyond the limit of the ‘scariness’ that other games had reached. It’s a single-player game, and I wanted to make it as scary as possible. But for those that might stop playing when it gets too scary, I have thought of a system that will allow them to keep going. I can’t say much more, because it’ll give too much of a hint on the system, and I could get in trouble for saying too much!”
The tease also comes with a new look at OD, below, one that instantly brings Hideo Kojima’s ultra-terrifying P.T. to mind.
Plot details are under wraps for OD, but the upcoming release stars Sophia Lillis (IT, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves), Hunter Schafer (Cuckoo), and the late Udo Kier (Swan Song, Flesh for Frankenstein).
