New “Linger In Shadows” Details Emerge

We have new details about the mysterious game/interactive art.

How would you feel, staring deeply into the eyes of this....'thing'?

From the Official PlayStation UK Website:

A dreamlike, seemingly random sequence unfolds before your eyes; then it stops, spools back and starts again. Can you influence it? Can you alter or extend what you have already seen?

A collaboration of hypnotic art, subtle gameplay and invigorating music, there are no rules or traditions in Linger in Shadows. The laws of physics and time are irrelevant. This is not a game in the traditional sense, rather an abstract, interactive experience designed to challenge and captivate your inquisitive mind.

  • Discover the five hidden sigils and unlock the path forward
  • Take control of time and realise the full potential of each scene as it unravel
  • Watch, enjoy, experiment and let the experience wash over you

Hidden Sigils?  Unlocking paths?  This sounds more like a game to me and not just a technical demo, as was previously thought.

  2. cell989 says:

  3. EvoAnubis says:

    I don’t know. Still sounds like a tech demo to me. I need to see more info for this “game.”

    Sure looks nice, though.

  4. Gamesradar covered these aspects a couple months ago…

    Dont be so mean did we get any linkage when we got info about 2.40?? Na I say!

    Anyway is this a PS3 exsluive?

  8. Menchi says:

    Originally, it was just an art tech demo, or something or other, but I believe Sony decided to take it on board, and create an “Interactive Movie” kind of thing from it.

    There was a news story about it quite a while back, and the aim was to find a specific point of interest, which would start the next “scene”

    It’s similar in style to Myst, I believe, as in looking for certain trigger points, would move you on to the next part by showing a video.

  9. idk, i think i need more detail on this too, and something that tell us about the story or gameplay. the art style is very intriguing though.

    @kingofthedead – yes its a PS3 exclusive, because its developed by Sony Santa Monica Studios.

    gimme more! :) nice blog youve got here. i have now bookmarked it. keep up the good work

  11. LOL sounds like a total pile of crap like everything released you make me laugh, do me a favor fandroids and dump that black pile of trash you call POS3 and buy a true console for true gamurs

  12. KnaveX says:

    Oh look its POS i mean POG Sev you can do something about this right? its bad enough I have to read his crap at N4G.

    On topic: This sounds interesting, itll be free on release though right?

  13. Ash says:

    @power of green: you’re so sad that you actually came to a PS3 site just to post that, get a life man.

    anyway, the trailer looked good, hopefully we get more info soon

  14. sev1512 says:

    Knave,
    I usually delete spam, but when people like POG post here, I like to leave it.

    It just shows off how jealous they are of the PS3 lineup.

    Its also amazing to me that, he took time out of his “busy” day to come on a PlayStation related blog, only to bash PlayStation.

    Me personally? I dont own an 360 but I did have an original Xbox, and I own a Wii. 360 is the only major console that I havent owned, and its mainly because of RROD. I dont have the time to have my console shipped out to be repaired. I am too paranoid of a guy too.

  15. KnaveX says:

    @sev

    lol I understand, thats why I dont have one either. And well I dont need anymore entertainment then the one I get out of the PS3. Im not gonna buy a console to play 1 game (gears) Im PSWii like you lol. But I think the wii part is leaving soon.

    Anyway, sorry. On topic folks!

  16. Well, I’m looking for more details of this game.

    Keep it up lifestyle.

  17. jrriddle says:

    It’s the off-beat experimental stuff like this, Little Big Planet, Flower, Shiki-tei that makes me excited about the future of the PS3. I like shooters as much as the next guy, but I want something different already.
    Are there any more screen shots available?

  18. DrPepper says:

    This sounds great. Many PS3 owners will be very pleased if this is more than just a tech demo. I watch the tech demo on numerous occasions because of its abstract look. This would make a great game. But I did always think it was a game because the video shows an ESRB rating of E for Everyone, I don’t know if they rate tech demos or not, but that’s what gave me an inkling that it could possibly be a game.

  19. EvoAnubis says:

    Oh, FFS, what the hell is POG doing here!?

  20. LinuxGuru says:

    We’re letting him have his tantrums, Anubis… :)

  21. sev1512 says:

    It’s a sentinel. A killing machine designed for one thing.

    Search and destroy.
