Redlock Studio, known for Hypnos and Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King, have just announced that their short atmospheric adventure BLACKSHARD, originally launched on PC last year, is now coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on 22nd September.
Part of Redlock Studio’s Maze Chronicles universe, like their latest launch HYPNOS, BLACKSHARD is a first-person adventure exploration game set in an unsettling megastructure known as the Labyrinth. Roam liminal spaces and unravel the mystery behind them, but know that your own actions (or inactions) in the Labyrinth will determine the outcome of your journey.
The soundtrack for the game is the creation of ALT236, a French multimedia artist and composer, in a blend of ambient, retro and dreamlike electronic music.
Key features:
-
Explore a unique semi-open world and find your own way through the Labyrinth.
-
Find shards of memory from those who came before. Accept the order of things… or choose a different path.
-
Transform the Labyrinth with unspeakable powers, or preserve its cold complexity.
