After Bloober Group’s glorious Silent Hill 2 remake, I’m prepared to offer the developer the advantage of the doubt on the subject of its model of horror video games. It actually helps that its subsequent effort, Cronos: The New Daybreak, appears unbelievable and is giving off gory Lifeless House vibes.
Cronos: The New Daybreak co-directors Wojciech Piejko and Jacek Zięba make their inspirations fairly specific in a brand new have a look at the sci-fi survival horror recreation. Cronos attracts on John Carpenter’s The Factor, German TV sequence Darkish, and Terry Gilliam’s 12 Monkeys for inspiration, the duo say, in addition to video games like Lifeless House and Darkish Souls. Cronos shares some acquainted attributes from Lifeless House, together with terrifying human mutations as enemies, an over-the-shoulder capturing perspective, and a limb-severing mechanic — although Piejko says Bloober Group is taking a special strategy to dismemberment than Visceral Video games did.
In a follow-up to a cinematic reveal trailer for Cronos: The New Daybreak launched final October, Piejko and Zięba confirmed off some gameplay in a brand new dev diary Bloober Group launched Thursday. The pair clarify how protagonist the Traveller, who they liken to a deep-sea diver who plunges into the depths of time, is distributed into the ruins of human civilization to extract survivors. The alternate-reality world of Cronos has been ravaged by an occasion referred to as the Change, which within the recreation’s fiction, destroyed our world within the Nineteen Eighties.
Piejko and Zięba beforehand labored on Bloober Group’s Observer and The Medium, so that they have loads of expertise with sci-fi and psychological horror. Cronos: The New Daybreak is an unique property for Bloober, which can be engaged on a follow-up with Konami.
