Ode To A Moon is a psychedelic horror journey “inspired by actual events”

Ever since taking part in Bloodborne I’ve been vaguely suspicious of the moon, so seeing its affect tearing the very cloth of actuality asunder in Ode To A Moon‘s debut trailer reinforces my prejudices. The newest from 0°N 0°W creator Colorfiction, it seems to be to be yet one more stroll via a surreal actuality, though this time extra coherent than their beforehand disconnected dreamscapes. Below, a wierd and lurid launch trailer – given among the fragmented areas proven, I’m definitely hoping this was solely vaguely impressed by actual occasions, as Colorfiction claims.

Ode To A Moon has a traditional horror setup – a tabloid photo-journalist is shipped on a boring project to a rural city throughout a lunar eclipse. Far far, so pastoral, however when you arrive it’s clear that issues have gone a bit bit bizarre throughout the harvest pageant, as they do. Judging by the anachronistically warped digicam results (we’re going to must discover a digital various to movie grain), there’s a little bit of a Found Footage angle to this one, so it’s anybody’s guess whether or not you’re getting out alive.

Increasingly surreal weirdness apart, this does look to be a bit extra grounded than Colorfiction’s earlier work. While among the environments are extra clearly dreamlike, screenshots and the trailer present farmlands and homes to discover. Even in actuality it’s usually a wierd expertise to search out your self out in rural pockets of civilisation at evening. Mixed in with some intentional cosmic weirdness, it seems to be prefer it may very well be a enjoyable journey to take. That mentioned, I’m nonetheless eyeing that moon suspiciously – I do know you’re as much as one thing.

Right now there’s no launch date for Ode To A Moon, however you may see extra over on its official page here, in addition to take a look at Colorfiction’s different games, a number of of that are free.
