‘LIMBO’-esque Aquatic Horror Game ‘Silt’ Releases Next Month [Trailer]
Neil previewed Spiral Circus Games’ upcoming monochromatic underwater horror title Silt a few months back, which now has a release date of June 1st on Steam. We also get the obligatory trailer announcing the release date, but also more footage of the game in action.
Silt was first announced last year during the PC Gaming Showcase, which immediately called to mind Playdead’s LIMBO due to its graphics. However, Silt has more than enough to stand on its own. Players control taking control of a diver searching the deep to uncover long-forgotten mysteries. However, as one might expect, the deep is oppressive, and death comes in an instant.
Luckily, you have the ability to possess the creatures around you to solve puzzles and travel further into the blackened blue. That includes giant deep-sea creatures, whose power you’ll have to harness in order to survive and progress. This is all backed by hand-drawn graphics constructed from the sketches of artist Mr Mead.
And in addition to a PC release, Silt will also see a release on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series and Xbox One consoles.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
