Deep space calls you as Downward Spiral: Horus Station is coming soon

3rd Eye Studios is based out of Finland, but for their next game they are shooting for the stars as they are bringing Downward Spiral: Horus Station to PC and PlayStation 4 this Autumn.



Downward Spiral: Horus Station lures players through a lost vessel abandoned by its crew. Solving the mystery of the space station will take wits and ingenuity as you fight or avoid dangers unknown. Use the ship's maintenance hardware - like bolt throwers, rail guns, and arc welders to take out threats, solve puzzles and find the truth of why Horus Station has been left drifting in space.

Downward Spiral: Horus Station’s focus will be heavy on environmental storytelling, as the game features no dialogue or cinematics. Instead, players will have to piece together the plot through observation and interpretation as they navigate the derelict space station, accompanied by the electronic ambient soundtrack composed by platinum selling HIM frontman Ville Valo.

If that was not enough for you, the team are hoping to make the controls as realistic as they can for when you are in space. You will need to find items and walls, in which to push yourself away from, much like you would do, if you were in space. Time will tell if that works out in their favour, but I am keen to give it a try.

“Last year’s Downward Spiral: Prologue was our proof of concept. Now we’re almost ready to let players embark on a full-length adventure to discover the atmospheric Horus Station,” said Kari Koivistoinen, CEO of 3rd Eye Studios. “For those that wish to experience the game in VR, we’ve continued to develop our proprietary tech that mitigates VR motion sickness while allowing for a full range of movement. Movement is seamless, allowing players to engage in both thoughtful exploration and pulse-quickening combat.”

The game is coming to PlayStation 4 and PC, with support for PlayStation VR, Oculus Touch, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality, if you have one of those systems.
