Studio 13th Street Games and Top Hat Studios have announced the release this fall of Becrowned, a psychological survival horror game for PC via Steam. Set in a surreal world where fears come to life, players will explore the ruins of an ancient kingdom. We control Richard Torrance, a rational and ambitious man trapped in eternal suffering, as we fight monsters and make decisions that affect the fate of the characters.
A Nightmare Engine with Retro Style and Modern Technology 🎮
Becrowned bets on a world woven from nightmares, offering classic horror gameplay with puzzles and resource management. The story is non-linear and includes multiple endings, where the player's choices directly impact other prisoners. The retro visual style is enhanced by advanced technology, creating an oppressive atmosphere without falling into the generic. The developers have prioritized narrative coherence over cheap scares, aiming for a more thoughtful horror experience.
Difficult Decisions: Save the Martyr or Flee from the Killer? 🤔
In Becrowned, your decisions not only affect your sanity, but also that of other poor devils trapped. You can save a martyr or confront a repentant killer, with consequences that determine if you are a hero or a destroyer. In other words, the typical pressure of choosing between being a good person or telling it all to go to hell. And since Richard is already condemned to eternal suffering, at least you can decide if you have a bad time alone or accompanied.
