First-person horror game Underworld Dreams: The False King will launch for Switch and PC via Steam this spring, publisher Skystone Games and developer Drop of Pixel announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Underworld Dreams: The False King is the first game in the Underworld Dreams Anthology—the upcoming first-person horror series based firmly in the Lovecraftian mythos. Based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft (and Robert W. Chambers’ The King in Yellow) and set in the 1980s, Underworld Dreams: The False King tells the story of a man who has tracked down his missing brother to a seemingly abandoned building that hides something much more sinister behind its decrepit walls.
Key Features
- Psychologically Intense – Based on the works of renowned horror legends H.P. Lovecraft and Robert W. Chambers, Underworld Dreams: The False King aims to mystify and horrify players with a tale that’s both heartwrenching and mind-bending.
- Retro Horror – With an atmosphere akin to classic horror titles, ammo is limited, and save spots are rare. Be cautious or be disappointed.
- Environmental Storytelling – Underworld Dreams: The False King expertly crafts its narrative through the environment, its puzzles, and the mysteries the player encounters.
- Combat that Counts – Every bullet counts in The False King and health doesn’t magically recharge. You must learn when it’s wise to attack, and when it’s wise to run.
