Engage in the paranormal hit Song of Horror as it makes its way onto PlayStation and Xbox this May. The game originally released last year on PC and became a hit amongst gamers. Sitting at a solid 9/10 on Steam, this immersively driven horror romp is sure to make console gamers jump out of their seats as well. The game focuses on its atmosphere above everything else to deliver unique gameplay that bends and contours to how you’re playing. There’s no combat, so all you can do is run and hide from your ghostly pursuers.
We had the chance to play the game’s first episode last year and gave it a 9/10 for its mysterious plot and the thrill that it provided us. "We’ve always been incredibly humbled by the reception Song of Horror received from PC players, and now’s the time to drag console players into the brooding mystery the game has to offer,” says Protocol Games co-founder Carlos Grupeli. “The survival-horror genre has such a long & rich history on both PlayStation and Xbox that it feels like absolutely the right home for our little ode to all that has gone before to an audience that truly appreciates real scares.”
Here some of Song of Horror’s features:
A truly dynamic terror experience: its antagonist, the supernatural entity known only as The Presence, is controlled by an advanced AI (Artificial Intelligence) that reacts to your actions and decisions.
Experience unbearable fear as this otherworldly being responds to your way of playing and hunts you down in unexpected ways, offering a unique experience to every player and gameplay where tension builds up naturally instead of coming from scripted sequences.
Live this story through the eyes of a varied set of characters related to the story in their own way. Every character is different, and brings their unique point of view to the investigation, allowing them to approach clues and items differently.
Their actions and decisions will shape the world: some of them will know more or less of certain aspects of the story; some will be more effective against supernatural manifestations, but all of them can die if the Presence gets to them – and death can be permanent. If they die, you will have to pick the story up with another one, and continue the investigation so their deaths are not in vain.
A mysterious antique shop, a forgotten abbey, an abandoned mental hospital... Each location in Song of Horror is inspired by the classics of the genre. Explore and investigate these haunted places to gather clues and items that will help you solve challenging puzzles while enduring the agonizing tension of the game's atmosphere.
I’m extremely excited to see another awesome horror experience coming to console this year. After playing the first episode, we’re hungry to see what other tricks Song of Horror has up its sleeve. Song of Horror will be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on May 28th.
