An independent Polish studio called Telepath’s Tree just announced a new PC exclusive horror game, Inner Chains. Running on Unreal Engine 4, this new FPS horror game promises to “Throw gamers into a stunning, dangerous and mysterious world”, and one that’s “unlike anything (we’ve) seen before”.
The official press release states:
Earth. Distant future. Several million years have passed and the planet is no longer what it used to be. Nature by evolution, striving for excellence and adapting to the prevailing conditions began to resemble technology, thus creating biomechanical shapes and mechanisms. Technology itself possessing artificial intelligence after the fall of humanity also tried to adapt to the same conditions. As a result a very strong symbiosis between technology and nature had been established and since then, they have evolved together. In this world, it is not entirely clear what is organic and what is not.
After millions of years of change the human being reappears, but its civilization development stopped at the equivalent of our medieval times. People have the technology, but without much awareness of what it is and how it works. For them this is a natural environment, so they take the advantage of what the world gives them. Some social mechanisms though that have always accompanied man, such as faith, oppression and manipulation, are still present.
The developers go on to describe the game as a “chance to get to know the world and themselves. (Players will) be fighting for their own life and survival” against secret designs set in place against them, in a dark, mysterious universe to make players feel off-balance from the word go.
The brief, but impressive teaser shows us a glimpse of what’s to come, and it strikes me as a mix of the newly announced DOOM from id/Bethesda, Visceral/EA’s Dante’s Inferno and maybe an iddy bit of From Software’s Dark Souls. Check it out, along with a gallery of screens bellow!
