Simogo are maybe finest recognized now for energy pop rhythm recreation Sayonara Wild Hearts, however their subsequent recreation, Lorelei And The Laser Eyes, seems to be like one thing of a return to their roots. It is a thriller recreation, a puzzle recreation, set in a baroque manor and – as per every part they make – dripping with fashion. Try the announcement trailer under.
Effectively, I am intrigued, even when I’ve little or no thought what is going on on. The outline on the Lorelei Steam web page is not precisely a bulletpoint record of options, both.
“The stage is about. Think about an previous baroque manor, maybe a resort or a museum, someplace in central Europe. A lady wanders seeking solutions.
“A global auteur. What does he need?
An aristocratic artist. Who killed her?
A vagabond illusionist. Who’s he?”
The setup jogs my memory principally of Gadget 6, Simogo’s texty, twisty thriller recreation for iOS, albeit smooshed with their newfound expertise for fashionable 3D. The trailer above appears to cycle by views, with the digital camera generally within the nook of a room, generally excessive above, generally first-person. Plus, generally the world is depicted in wireframe, generally its edges are aliased like an previous PSone horror recreation?
Simogo’s earlier recreation Sayonara Wild Hearts had a equally romping strategy to fashion and perspective. Alice B loved it loads, though discovered it a bit too intelligent for its personal sake.
Personally, I am comfortable to observe Simogo wherever they are going. Lorelei And The Laser Eyes is being printed by Annapurna Interactive and is aiming to launch subsequent yr.
