Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
The classic psychological adventure returns. This is a complete reimagining of the 2008 cult game Sublustrum (known as Outcry outside of Russia and Poland), expanded, enhanced, and presented in fully explorable 3D. Delve into a fractured dreamscape and descend into a world where memory, sound, and dreams intertwine.
Into the Labyrinths of Consciousness
Experience the story of a writer trying to understand the mysterious disappearance of his brother, a scientist.
While attempting to decipher the purpose of a strange device his brother left behind, he slips into a liminal space between waking and dreaming, and the investigation becomes a surreal journey into the depths of his own subconscious.
The Architecture of Dreams
Move freely through a 3D photoreal world that blends Victorian melancholy, industrial structures, and early-20th-century retrofuturism. Here, the boundary between science and mysticism blurs, and mechanisms become vessels for the human soul.
Sublustrum is styled to evoke images shaped by vintage lenses and the grain of aged film – a visual language that captures the ephemeral feeling of auteur cinema and fragile dreams.
Sound as a Conduit
In Sublustrum, sound is more than a mood. It is a narrative system woven into the gameplay itself, with audio-driven puzzles and motifs that guide you through the world.
The dark ambient score is a core part of the story – and of the project’s origin.
Feelings and Logic
Tackle new and re-imagined puzzles that present unusual challenges and reward associative, lateral thinking.
Draw connections between memories and inner archetypes through puzzles shaped by sound, shifting gravity, and temporal distortions, and unravel the mysteries of this Flickering World.
