Downward Spiral: Horus Station comes to PlayStation 4 this month
3rd Eye Studios has announced that Downward Spiral: Horus Station will be coming to PlayStation 4, complete with PlayStation VR support on September 18th, having had a successful release a few months back on PC, check out a lengthy gameplay section from the PC release below.
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.
Atmosphere and environmental storytelling are key to Downward Spiral: Horus Station. Players will have to piece together the mystery surrounding the derelict space station entirely through observation and interpretation, as the game eschews any dialogue or cinematics. Instead, the mood is maintained through a kitschy, 70s-inspired retro-chic aesthetic and an electronic ambient soundtrack composed by platinum selling HIM frontman Ville Valo.
“Combining the thought-provoking mysteries of sci-fi classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Solaris with interactive exploration has been a dream of ours for years, and we can’t wait for a whole new audience to experience Downward Spiral: Horus Station’s unique atmosphere and story,” said Gregory Louden, Lead Designer of 3rd Eye Studios. “While entirely captivating on a flat screen, Downward Spiral: Horus Station cranks the immersion up to 11 for those with PlayStation VR - especially if used in tandem with the PlayStation Move controllers!”
No word on if the game will come to other consoles, but it is worth your time if you have a PlayStation 4.
