We respect how Craig Morrison’s Horse Thriller MMO sounds a bit like a psychedelic prog rock group, but it surely’s not; it’s the elevator pitch for a brand new MMORPG being developed by Morrison’s NetEase-funded Blue Scarab studio that’s trying to mix homicide thriller, cozy MMO gaming, and horseback driving collectively.
Up till now, all we knew about was the sport’s normal existence, that it’s really an MMO, and that Blue Scarab has been looking for testers.
However because of a newly launched trailer, official web site, and the brand new Steam web page, we now have somewhat extra data, particularly the sport’s official identify: Equinox: Homecoming. And sure, the premise nonetheless stands up even with all of its official gubbins unfold earlier than us.
“Saddle up with buddies and examine a darkish thriller, the place every path results in surprise and intrigue. A string of occasions has set the idyllic Alderwood Island on edge. Uncover the reality behind your mom’s disappearance and an area’s sudden demise. For followers of horses, homicide mysteries, and comfortable exploration!”
As for the trailer, it tries to encapsulate as a lot of the title as potential visually, with a have a look at some horseback driving, a setup of the general narrative, and a few imprecise tastes of horror and investigation. The Steam web page additionally outlines extra gameplay parts together with loads of horse care to make sure participant steeds are managed properly and multiplayer actions like horse races and path rides.
Sadly it appears to be like as if the playtester signups closed down sooner or later between January and March, and we additionally don’t have any launch timing for the sport but. What we do have, after all, is that trailer in addition to the Steam web page for wishlisting functions. And a small remorse that we are able to’t name this one Dial “E” for Equine and “M” for Homicide. Formally, anyway.
