Psychological Horror Game ‘REVEIL’ to Release on March 6th for PC, Consoles [Trailer]
Originally aiming for a 2023 release, developer Pixelsplit has announced that their atmospheric psychological horror game REVEIL will be heading to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series on March 6. The announcement was accompanied by a short trailer, and a time-limited 10% discount on Steam to pre-purchase the game.
REVEIL puts players in the body and mind of Walter Thompson as he seeks his missing wife and daughter through the depths of his reality, psyche, and memories. Set against the backdrop of an “authentically orchestrated environment” inspired by the circus of the 60s, Walter wakes up one morning unable to remember much of the previous night. His wife Martha and daughter Dorie are nowhere to be found. His search for answers leads him to the Nelson Bros Circus, where Walter was once employed as a stage builder. As you piece together what transpired, things get progressively more bizarre, as the lines between reality, memory, and imagination become increasingly blurred.
For those looking for an additionally engrossing performance, REVEIL will also have a Funhouse Edition release on the same day. Here’s what’s included in this version:
- Five original songs written and produced for REVEIL, featured in previous trailers
- Digital Artbook filled with 41 pages of “atmos-fear”
- An unlockable black-and-white camera effect
- Unlockable developer commentary
- An encore of five audio plays that allow players to dive deeper into the world and lore of REVEIL, recorded with the original voice actors from the game
Fans of Strange Scaffold and publisher Frosty Pop’s apocalyptic Life Eater have another reason to keep coming back to the game, as the much-anticipated Endless Mode is available now. Best of all, it’s a free update!
The new endless mode gives Life Eater players an arena to determine how long they can evade capture while delaying the end of the world. Collect score points called ZEAL by building an airtight procedure around your sacrifices, investigate the lives of countless procedurally generated kidnapping targets, and survive as long as possible in your personal gauntlet of nightmares.
“We’re so excited to expand the playtime of Life Eater with a uniquely dark and intriguing systemic experience,” says Strange Scaffold founder Xalavier Nelson Jr. “You really just terrorize an entire city of people over the span of decades, now, and I can only hope that I don’t come to regret writing that sentence in a press release.”
For those not in the know, Life Eater (check out Aaron’s review here) is a horror fantasy kidnapping simulator where you play as a druid living in suburbia. You serve a dark entity by abducting and sacrificing specific but vaguely described humans every year to stop the apocalypse. Use a unique video editing-inspired interface to discover the intimate lives of your victims, one schedule block at a time. When the time is right, abduct them before authorities find out.
