Demo For Lo-Fi VR Action Horror Game ‘LIMINAL PHASE’ Available Now [Trailer]
Eager for some VR horror this Halloween? While it’s not the full game, indie devs anananas studio have released a demo for their game LIMINAL PHASE, an action horror game that’s set to release in Q1 2023 on Steam for SteamVR.
LIMINAL PHASE is described as taking you on a journey through a fractured mind battling psychic pain and on the brink of a mental breakdown. Set in an alternate 1990s “with a surreal twist”, the mind of said individual is Frank, who is obsessed with videogames. One day, under mysterious circumstances, a floppy disk with the game “Sanctum 3-D” shows up at his apartment. The more Frank plays the game, the harder it becomes to separate fantasy from reality. Now Frank must face his deepest fears in order to save himself from reaching the bottom of the dark spiral he’s caught in.
Combining combat with puzzle solving and exploration, LIMINAL PHASE draws inspiration from the 90s “when CRT TVs, MS-DOS, and big box PC games were a thing”. The game will also feature an original soundtrack and Lo-fi aesthetics, as well as free movement, teleport, smooth and snap turn options. There will also be plenty of hidden secrets and Easter eggs to discover.
In a blast from the past, developer atooi will release today Dementium: The Ward for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The first-person horror shooter originally got its start on the Nintendo DS back in 2007, before making its way to the 3DS in 2015, and finally landing on the Switch last October.
The PlayStation version of Dementium offers up “crunchy retro” and revamped HD display modes (presumably, this is similar to the free update the Switch version received last year), and has been “built from the ground up for the big screen”. Obviously, the game will lose its touchscreen capabilities from the Nintendo consoles, but will still run at a silky 60 frames per second.
Dementium: The Ward centres around William Redmoor, a man with amnesia, who wakes up in a seemingly abandoned medical ward. He soon finds out that he’s not quite as alone as he initially thought, as demonic creatures are roaming the hospital. Equipped with a flashlight and a nightstick, William must not only fend off the creatures, but also solve puzzles and find the exit and escape.
No word on if the sequel, Dementium II (which was also originally released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS), will be given the same treatment.
