Surprise!
The trailer is sparse, only giving us glimpses at the creepy side-scroller between its logo, but we won’t need to wait long before we can experience the full game. In the meantime, Jumpship have beenposting concept artfrom the game the entire month, if you physically can’t wait for more.
The game seemingly follows a family on the run from some kind of apocalyptic event. Like the games Patti worked on at Playdead, you’ll be traveling around moody landscapes, only this time, Somerville will experiment with that side-on perspective, and will be full 3D.
Inside has been a personal favourite since release, so I’m excited to see if Patti can hit that energy with an entirely different team. At the very least, Somerville can stand apart from his Playdead work with its family dynamics and more maximilist take on action. Either way, it’ll be interesting and I’ve been looking for a new alien invasion story for a while (if that’s what it is). Just, please don’t kill the dog!
Somerville will be available onSteam, Epic Games Store, and Game Pass.
