Frictional Games offered an unsettling new perspective on their upcoming sci-fi thriller, Ontos, during the latest Opening Night Live presentation. Renowned for mastering existential dread in modern classics like Amnesia and SOMA, the studio’s next endeavor looks to double down on the psychological torment that defines their signature style.
Featuring prominent voice work by Stellan Skarsgård, the atmospheric adventure follows an engineer navigating the claustrophobic confines of an abandoned lunar resort. Gameplay hinges on intricate environmental puzzles and weight-bearing moral dilemmas that directly dictate how the narrative unravels.
The latest footage showcased a particularly grotesque encounter: an unhinged scientific endeavor in which a human consciousness has been uploaded into a living server cluster composed entirely of rodents. Between the frantic audio design and visceral biomechanical imagery, the sequence delivers a deeply disturbing testament to the developer’s penchant for body horror.
Ontos is slated to launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2027.
