Song of Horror Terrifying AI Awakens in Sept

Quite often Horror games, follow a fairly scripted approach. So, the dogs jumping through the window in Resident Evil are going to be less scary each time you play, until it gets to the point were it’s completely expected. Horror of Song, a horror game developed by Raiser Games and Protocol Games, won’t suffer from this due to the AI built within the game itself. An AI that changes its tactics based on your actions within the game. Due for release in September 2019, it’s looking like something to keep an eye on.

After a spate of disappearances related to the house of the famous writer Mr. Husher, a group of people decide to investigate and try to uncover the spooky goings on. Like Scooby Doo but terrifying.

The supernatural evil of the house is known simply as the presence. A powerful entity, that reacts to your character’s actions within the game.

There are several playable characters within the game, each with their own pros and cons, and different perspective on the case, and understanding of what’s going on. Depending on how you play, any of these characters can die. Though the game doesn’t end there, you simply choose the next character to play, and they continue on from their predecessor’s investigation, with the case being shaped by their actions.

Song of Horror Features

  • Investigate a paranormal mystery in a thrilling story of psychological terror
  • Beware the Presence, an eldritch entity with its own AI that reacts to your actions and decisions in a non-scripted horror experience
  • Choose between a group of unique characters: each character brings its own point of view and has a different relation to the story and other characters
  • You may die, but the horror continues: death is permanent – when a character dies, it’s gone”¦
  • ”¦but the next one will follow the investigation from where the deceased left it: the world will be shaped by their previous actions

Raiser Games and Protocol games have been working on Song of Horror for around five years, making sure that they have balanced the investigation, puzzle-solving and story elements perfectly. Taking their narrative direction from such masters of the genre as Edgar Allan Poe, M.R. James or H.P. Lovecraft, they’ve created a game that even the developers are still just that little bit scared of.

Song of Horrors is due for Release during September 2019 on Steam PC. Stay tuned to TheZombieChimp for more information, or head over to the official Song of Horror Steam Page.
