The Blackout Club Announcement
Das Indie Studio Question, welches aus Ehemaligen von Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Dishonored, Bioshock Infinite und Prey besteht, hat ihr neues "cooperative paranormal horror mystery" Projekt vorgestellt. "Set in a small town with a monstrous secret, The Blackout Club follows a group of teens who band together after learning they’ve all been temporarily losing consciousness – waking up in strange places with no memory of what they have done. Recently, one of their closest friends vanished entirely. When none of their parents, teachers, or even the police are willing to believe them, the friends launch an investigation. Together they will discover a maze of tunnels – a hostile underworld filled with hypnotic music and populated by a clandestine group of adults – all beneath their seemingly idyllic suburbs." Hört sich ganz nach einer Spielversion von Stranger Things an wenn ihr mich fragt - sign me up!
"Together, they pull on a series of threads that hint at a grand conspiracy that may or may not have supernatural origins. The teens coordinate to elude detection as they search for their missing friend and investigate the cause of their uncontrollable blackouts. And yet, caution is not always enough; each teammate must put themselves in harm’s way to capture video evidence of their tormentors’ plans so they can expose their dark agenda to the world at large. Unlike most games where you fulfill a typical power fantasy, the members of The Blackout Club aren’t strong enough to confront adults directly. Engaging in combat by yourself is a dangerous proposition with perilous consequences. There is strength in numbers, though, so cooperation is key. Your team will need to improvise ways to overcome challenges and operate as a pack, using hit-and-run tactics to outwit your foes.", heißt es von Michael Kelly (Producer und Designer).
"In The Blackout Club, you can drop in and out of a session with your friends for a single mission, or several in a row. Each mission takes place in the kids’ own neighborhood and the bizarre network of tunnels hidden below the surface. An ever-changing variety of procedural elements populate the world, including enemy encounters, discoverable loot, and a range of objectives, making each night different than the last."
The Blackout Club soll Anfang 2019 erscheinen. Neben ersten Screenshots gab es auch einen neuen Announcement Teaser. Hier könnt ihr alle Screenshots (drauf klicken) wie auch den Teaser anschauen:
