Ever wondered what it'd be like if your favorite retro horror game suddenly turned into a live-action movie? That's exactly the vibe Tenebris Somnia is going for, and it's already on sale at launch.
Horror games live or die by their scares, and Tenebris Somnia aims to keep you uncomfortable with a blend of old-school 2D visuals and jarring live-action sequences. You play as Julia, who ends up in a parallel universe while visiting her ex-boyfriend (awkward) and is hunted by nightmares that are all too real. The pixelated threats become even more menacing when you see live-action versions of the monsters, making for a genuinely unsettling experience.
Inspired by classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, Tenebris Somnia is co-created by Andrés Borghi and Tobías Rusjan with Saibot Studios, and published by New Blood Interactive—the folks behind Ultrakill, Blood West, and Gloomwood. The game's style pays homage to past console eras, and the switch to live-action cutscenes is almost like Clock Tower suddenly turning into a movie. It's both jarring and original, which is exactly what makes for excellent horror.
If you're looking to rewind to those retro vibes while adding something new to your scary movie marathon this spooky season, you can grab a Steam key for Tenebris Somnia for just $18.24 / £13.13 at Fanatical. That's a tempting way to experience a brand-new and genuinely unusual horror game for less. Not bad, unless you don't like losing sleep.
