New ‘Necrophosis’ Trailer Dives Further Into Its Dystopian Visuals; Demo Coming Soon [Watch]

Published

After teasing fans with prototype footage back in January, Dragonis Games and Adonis Brosteanu’s first-person horror adventure Necrophosis has received a new teaser trailer, which leans hard into the look and feel of its inspiration in Zdzisław Beksiński‘s art, as well as some Lovecraftian overtones thrown in for good measure.

Despite the trailer being a visual feast with no gameplay at the moment, Dragonis Games will be remedying that with the release of a short demo for Necrophosis “soon”, which aims to “captivate horror enthusiasts and puzzle solvers alike, urging players to uncover the secrets hidden in this twisted reality [of Necrophosis]”.

Necrophosis takes place in an unknown realm where everything is dead and decayed. You wake up to a mysterious figure presenting himself as your guide to this harsh world. Players will go through “a mysterious and macabre series of events”, coming face to face with horrific entities and mind-bending puzzles, where “the boundaries between reality and hellish visions blur into a haunting tapestry of dread.” Each location features its own theme, puzzles, and integral characters, interconnected in a non-linear fashion.

As you progress, you’ll unlock hidden realms and abilities, and encounter “a myriad of chilling sights, urging you to fathom the unfathomable.” Each location will be presented “like a sinister puzzle box” and feature their own set of unique mechanics, accompanied with narrations and famous poems.

Necrophosis can currently be wishlisted on Steam.

‘System Shock’ Remake Now Available on PlayStation, Xbox [Trailer]

The long wait for console owners to play Nightdive’s System Shock remake is finally over. Almost a year to the day the remake of the iconic 1994 FPS was released on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG, System Shock is now available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.

“For the first time ever, the incredible world of System Shock is available to console gamers,” said Stephen Kick, CEO of Nightdive Studios. “We’re so excited to introduce our take on this pioneering piece of gaming history to a whole new audience.”

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of System Shock have a physical and digital release, while the last-gen versions will be digital-only.

System Shock takes place in the year 2072. You are a nameless hacker, and you’ve been caught while attempting to access files concerning Citadel Station, a space station owned by the TriOptimum Corporation. However, in exchange for the dropping of all charges (and a military grade neural implant), you are tasked with hacking SHODAN, the artificial intelligence that controls the station. After hacking SHODAN, removing the AI’s ethical constraints, you are given the implants and put into a healing coma. You wake up six months later on board Citadel, and all hell has broken loose.

If you’re still on the fence of diving into System Shock, check out Harrison’s review, who stated that Nightdive “have absolutely achieved what they set out to do” in regards to updating and bringing the game to a modern audience.
