Psychological Survival Horror Title ‘Pneumata’ Available Now on PC, Consoles [Trailer]
Okay, so that August 20th release date for Perp Games and Deadbolt Interactive’s Survival Horror title Pneumata didn’t quite come to fruition. However, after spending the time to polish the game, the game is finally out now on PC via Steam (with a limited time 25% discount until September 26th), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. The physical release that was originally scheduled for September 13th is still to come.
The tenants of Clover Hill are going missing or left in pieces. As David, a former detective, you must unravel the truth that lies within the town, recover your fragmented memories, or succumb to the horrors that lurk in the shadows.
Designed and developed by a solo developer as a “passion project”, Pneumata features not only psychological horror, but also a bit of cosmic horror to cover the gamut. Using your detective skills, you’ll examine crime scenes and piece together clues and evidence in order to solve a series of gruesome murders. All the while, you’ll explore a realistic and gritty apartment building, uncovering hidden areas and pathways. The horrors you face are unpredictable, requiring you to either fight or hide. Luckily, you can use the environment to create distractions to give yourself the edge.
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.
