Indie horror games on Steam are clearly getting more and more creative and obscure, in a way that the current AAA titles will never be able to achieve. Take that, major publishers.
A Wolf in Autumn is the latest potentially amazing title to appear and will be released next month.
From the Press Release:
After escaping from a locked shed, a young girl finds herself in the middle of an idyllic autumn forest. At first her surroundings seem peaceful, and she’s comforted by her mother’s voice coming through a strange tin device. But gradually, things begin to turn disturbing and sinister. And the distant howling of wolves begins to move closer…
A Wolf in Autumn is a dark, surreal psychological horror game from the developer of Fingerbones, The Moon Sliver, and The Music Machine. It focuses on creating a short engaging horror experience that relies on narrative, pacing, context, and atmosphere rather than jump scares.
I love the way that its art style reflects the style of painting that its title conjures up. More stuff like this please, indie developers.
