Iceberg Interactive announces new horror game, Lunacy: Saint Rhodes
Why would you want to be alone or feel safe when you can have a nefarious entity watching you instead?
Iceberg Interactive today announced that it is working with Lazarus Studio, a new indie developer. Together, the publisher and studio will release Lunacy: Saint Rhodes, which despite its cheerful sounding name is not a kitten simulator. No, it's something much less expected: a creepy horror game.
The hook in Lunacy: Saint Rhodes (or at least, one of the hooks) is "the Author," an advanced AI that adapts the game's play style to suit player behavior. This is intended to ensure no two trips through the game ever feel quite the same.
As the game's protagonist, you will venture to the town of Silent Hi-- Saint Rhodes. Your family was horrifically murdered, so you have returned to your ancestral home in search of answers you may not be prepared to accept. A malevolent force watches from the shadows.
Early screenshots don't show much, because there's a lot of shadow and darkness befitting the genre. Apparently, the full game will allow you to venture beyond the walls of your home, into streets patrolled by frightening creatures. Each visit to the town will be different, with non-linear paths leading to various outcomes.
Though Lunacy: Saint Rhodes won't actually release until 2019, you can add it to your wish list on Steam this very day... if you dare!
