[Trailer] Otherworldy Horror Awaits in ‘It Sleeps Below the Haar’ This Fall

Last February, we touched on Arboreta Games’ PS1-styled throwback cosmic horror title The Black Iris (which you can still download from their itch.io page). The developer is back again this Fall with the release of It Sleeps Below the Haar, which can be wishlisted now on Steam.

Described as a short horror exploration game, It Sleeps Below the Haar is set in a secluded coastal village in North East Scotland in 1958. A research student travels to the small coastal village of Kellas Bay to study the village’s unique ecology. Their research takes them through the lush forests and ancient cave systems surrounding the village, to the freezing depths of the North Sea, where otherworldly secrets probably should’ve stayed undiscovered.

Featuring a cast of locals using North East Scotland’s Doric language, It Sleeps Below the Haar focuses on non-linear exploration and storytelling. You’ll also be doing the science thing by collecting scientific data, samples and photographs to better understand the ecology and history of the area. And, as things go, you’ll eventually find and interact with otherworldly objects as you delve deeper into Kellas Bay’s secrets.

The full release of V Rising is coming up quick. And just in case the upcoming Castlevania crossover wasn’t enough, Stunlock has released a new gameplay trailer showing off the new Ruins of Mortium endgame zone for V Rising.

Once the heart of the powerful Vampire civilization, the Ruins of Mortium now lies in ruins, teeming with the cult-like remnants of Dracula’s forces. Players will encounter the Draculin, creatures tainted by Dracula’s influence, and face off against his Vampire Generals. The ultimate challenge awaits as players journey into the depths of Mortium to confront Dracula himself. While battling through his forces and disrupting dark rituals intent on reviving the ancient Vampire king, players will uncover ancient powers and prepare for the ultimate showdown against the tyrant himself.

Ruins of Mortium is just one piece of the new content for V Rising when it launches in full. Here’s a rundown of what to expect:

  • Explore a new deadly endgame zone: The Ruins of Mortium
  • Experience dynamic endgame events
  • Fight a new breed of foe and new V Blood bosses
  • New weapons, A new tier of equipment, and magic improvements
