DreadXP Unveils Surreal ‘[I] doesn’t exist’ Game Trailer; Release Date Announced
DreadXP, our brother organization, has been busy this year. Not only have they released some of the biggest indie horror games around (My Friendly Neighborhood & Amanda the Adventurer) but they’ve also been snatching trophies at events like Digital Dragons and *gameHERS for recent titles SPOOKWARE and Sucker for Love: First Date. But alas, that’s not all for the XP fiends. Next up, they’ll be dropping a game like no other with [I] doesn’t exist on September 12th.
Inspired by beloved titles such as The Beginner’s Guide, Stories Untold, Buddy Simulator, and Zork, [I] doesn’t exist is a love letter to the origins of narrative-focused gaming and levels up the text adventure genre through the use of conversational text recognition, beautiful, surreal pixel art, and unconventional, intrapersonal themes.
In the game, players awake in an unfamiliar forest populated with illogical scenery and oddities like friendly, talking mushrooms. As they command their in-game avatar and contemplate the solution to puzzles (and the meaning of their own existence) to escape the seemingly innocuous forest, the façade begins to show its cracks to reveal something…darker.
Check out the cerebral, lo-fi trailer for the new game right here:
[I] doesn’t exist releases on Steam for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux September 12, 2023. Dreamers can download the demo now and wishlist the full game here.
