You may remember indie dev Artur Łączkowski and his story-driven horror game Death of Rose. The game was originally scheduled to arrive back in February, but Łączkowski pulled the plug, stating that he couldn’t “fully express and present” the game’s potential with its current state. However, it hasn’t stayed dead for long, as Łączkowski has announced that the game is back on, with some new additions.
Along with announcing that the game is back on, Łączkowski also released a new trailer for the game, showcasing some awesome-looking ray tracing effects. When contacted by DreadXP, Łączkowski had this to say: “The Ray Tracing trailer was created as a test, but this scene is from the game. Just in a different form. The game is set to release in a month or two, not longer. It’s heavily inspired by Stranger Things and the 80’s. It’s also no longer a straight horror game, but a mystery adventure.”
The story for Death of Rose has also changed: Scott is a high school radio show host with his best friend Beth as the producer. Every night, listeners call in to the show. One day, the calls he receives begin to change. Will Scott be able to handle the pressure and help his listeners in this interactive adventure inspired by the 1980s?
You can wishlist the game on Steam, if you haven’t already done so.
