‘The Sinking City’ Launch Trailer Messes With Your Mind
We’re only a couple of days away from Frogwares’ Lovecraftian action game The Sinking City being released, so as is the norm, the devs have released a launch trailer.
The trailer carries on the expected mindf*ckery from the game, while also putting the game’s protagonist, Charles W. Reed, through the wringer. But, as it is with a game of this type, it’s probably for the best that you don’t know what’s going on until you have the game in your hands.
The Sinking City will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, with a port to the Nintendo Switch expected later this Fall.
After the surprise reveal of SAW: Genesis at Summer Game Fest, Bloober Team has followed up the reveal with a new video giving an overview of the features available to players in the upcoming asymmetrical multiplayer title.
Co-developed by Broken Mirror Games and Anshar Studios, the game is set in the grim aftermath of World War I, where you play on either side of a 3v1 confrontation in intense matches that take place on procedurally generated maps. The game is built for short, intense matches where no two trials play out the same.
Players can either step into the role of the Judge, an early architect of Jigsaw’s philosophy, manipulating the trial and its prisoners from behind the scenes. Or, they can play as one of three Accused looking to escape the deadly labyrinth through teamwork and sacrifice. Shaped by their experiences in The Great War, the Judge is dedicated to rehabilitating humanity through pain and sacrifice.
Your goal as the Judge is to rehabilitate the Accused, making them choose between life and limb rather than killing them. Live or die. They make their choice.
Customize your approach with perks and traps, then seek to control the match from the shadows. Unlike other asymmetrical multiplayer games, the Judge is physically vulnerable and cannot overpower the Accused through sheer force alone.
SAW: Genesis is currently in development for release into Steam Early Access.
