Explore and Escape a Constantly-Changing Manor in ‘Shifting Chambers’ [Trailer]
Those looking for some haunted house gaming should keep an eye on Korpi Games and their upcoming first-person horror exploration puzzle game, Shifting Chambers. Coming to Steam with VR support, the game is set inside a massive, decaying manor where adaptation is key to survival. In addition, Shifting Chambers will feature a demo this Steam Next Fest, where players can play one floor of the manor in single player.
The game sees players trapped in a massive manor where the room layout shifts when a bell rings. As a result, you’ll be exploring a constantly changing layout where you must solve cryptic puzzles, as well as avoid the mysterious guardians who brought you to the manor, and won’t let you leave.
Available in single player, you can also team up with up to two friends in online co-op to work together to survive, or split up to cover more ground. Regardless of solo or co-op play, you must solve environmental puzzles to unlock new areas and reach the elusive escape route. That being said, given the mechanic of the manor’s shifting layout, memorization is useless, with adaptation the only strategy.
You’ll also need to worry about the guardians of the manor that patrol the grounds. Intelligent and adapting, you’ll need to avoid being detected, or suffer the consequences if you are discovered.
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.
