After picking up numerous award nominations, publisher LKA.it has announced that its debut game, The Town of Light (official website and Facebook page), will be released on Steam in February of next year.
Set in the real Volterra Psychiatric Asylum, the game will be played from the perspective of a teenage girl as she attempts to survive the horrors of life in a 1940s asylum. And while it will definitely be a horror game as it describes itself as such, most of its scares will actually come from its depiction of the brutality that patients faced at that time.
The Town of Light will be available on Steam on February 26, 2016.
Synopsis:
The Town of Light is a first-person psychological thriller set in the Volterra Psychiatric Asylum, shut down in the late ’90s by a law from 1978 together with all other Italian asylums.
The game aims to explore what’s really happened inside those walls in the fictional eyes of Renèe, an imaginary 16-year-old girl who suffers from mental illness.
The adventure starts in the present day, near the Asylum. Renèe’s voice will guides the player, who will try to find her forgotten and blurred memories through her eyes, her fears, and her personal drama whilst exploring an environment full of realistic documents and locations as they were back in time as well as they are today.
