If you were a fan of Snoring Dog Games’ The Flayed Man like we were, the developer is back with their sophomore title in Thorner. Coming to Steam later this year, this pixel-based visual novel has players heading to the wilderness to escape their past, but some things have a habit of following you.
You are Colin Snead, a military veteran. Haunted by your time in the service, you flee to the Scottish wilderness attempting to leave your past behind. However, you will find that spilled blood is not easily forgiven, and you are not alone. The land knows what you did. The land judges. Thorner awaits.
Sporting multiple endings (three, to be exact) with each tailored to your personality. The ending you receive will be based on the choices you make regarding Colin’s thoughts, words, and actions.
As mentioned, Thorner features pixel-based artwork, which aims to stick with gamers long after they finish playing. It’s combined with the weird and grotesque “nature-based horror” that will make you think twice about going for a walk in the woods.
As an added bonus, the game’s original soundtrack will be included with all purchases.
