The Town of Light, an Italian horror game set to release on PC very soon on 26th February, has also been announced for Xbox One coming later this year. Indie studio LKA.it’s psychological horror game is set in an Italian mental asylum which is said to be the result of extensive research and study of a real Italian asylum which eventually closed back in the late 1970’s. The game follows the perspective of Renée, a fictional character, and her journey through her time in the Volterra Psychiatric Asylum, and the way in which she and other patients were mistreated. The developer has said to have gained real statements from actual employees of the asylum and conducted legitimate investigations, so it all sounds pretty interesting and very detailed. This kind of approach hopefully pays off, as the crazy people in the asylum cliche is getting fairly tired now.
The Town of Light is a first-person psychological thriller set in the Volterra Psychiatric Asylum. The asylum was shut down in the late 1970’s by the Italian government which instructed all asylums to close completely and give back patients their civil rights.
The game, based on extensive research and real facts, will be played through the fictional eyes of Renée, an imaginary 16-year-old girl that suffers from the symptoms of mental illness.
She is looking to find back what’s happened to her and the player is the only one that can help.
Check out the trailer below, which is looking pretty interesting.
