In addition to being hard at work on The Surge, German developer Deck13 Interactive has also announced that they’re in the process of developing a new horror game called The Shattering. Polish studio SuperSexySoftware will also be collaborating on the game, which promises to “bring back true horror.”
From the Press Release:
Polish startup studio SuperSexySoftware has teamed up with Deck13 (Lords of the Fallen, The Surge) to release their ambitious debut title, The Shattering. The first-person psychological horror adventure will be released in 2018 on PC.
The Shattering is about a fragile mind trying to piece itself together after tragic events. The player explores the mind of a man trapped inside his self-created hell.
“You have lots of horror games nowadays but they are more about jump scares and sadly not so much about what actually scares us.” says Marta Szymanska, Founder of SuperSexySoftware. “We want to change that. Our idea is to confront the player with the hidden fears that lie beneath an idyllic illusion of normalcy; only then can one truly understand the despair of the hero.”
However, it is not all about the mind – the psyche influences the body significantly. The character will show realistic body reactions in moments of stress and fear.
