Developer Zoetrope Interactive and publisher Iceberg Interactive have announced that their upcoming horror adventure title, Conarium, will be releasing in Q1 2017 for PC and then later on in the year for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s novella At the Mountains of Madness, here’s what the game is all about:
You, as Frank Gilman, open your eyes inside a room filled with strange, pulsating noises. Patterns of lights executing a Danse Macabre on the walls is presented by a queer device on the table. Having recalled nothing other than that you’re in Upuaut, an Antarctic base located near Antarctica, you find the place deserted and have a distinct feeling of something being terribly wrong. Somehow knowing that your memories cannot guide you enforces a strange feeling of vulnerability, a familiar yet alien sensation of being a part of a peculiar whole… Soon you will discover that having used the device during the expedition, you have died but then returned subtly changed, speaking of strange memories and of strange places. You have lost something important or gained something sinister…
Features promised are as follows:
· A deep and suspenseful Lovecraftian story with lots of secrets and Easter eggs
· Ominous but wonderful graphics created with the Unreal 4 engine
· Multiple endings
· A haunting and atmospheric soundtrack
You can watch the first teaser trailer above.
