While several games have you fighting against zombies or demons, very few of them actually have you tackling with your own sanity. That’s what StickyLock Studios and Alterego Games are planning to deliver with their next title, Sanity of Morris.
Here’s the official description:
The game pretty much looks like BioShock but with most of the scares and none of the action. You have to focus on investigating your way around the environment in an attempt to discover the truth about your father. You even get to collect audio tapes and secret files—just like in BioShock.
One major element of the gameplay is also that you have to balance seeking out information and avoiding stress. If your character gets too stressed, you might go insane—much like your father and his alien conspiracies.
Creative director Dominic de Graaf had this to say about the game:
“We wanted to create something new and exciting, but also keep doing what we’re good at; storytelling. So for Sanity of Morris we took from Woven the adventure genre, having collectibles and working with a strong narrative. But then we added a whole layer of psychological horror in the music, in the visuals, and it’s really unnerving!
In this game, you will start to question John’s reality. It makes for an engaging experience, like an interactive movie, perfect for escaping daily life. And we can all use that right about now.”
No specific release date has been announced for Sanity of Morris, but the game is expected to come out on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on the fourth quarter of 2020.
