During the Future of Play and Day of the Devs segments at Summer Game Fest, it was announced that Psychroma will be released on Tuesday, June 11th for PC via Steam. This narrative-driven side-scrolling game offers a unique experience of questioning your own sanity as you face the ghosts haunting a cybernetic house.

The story takes place in a decaying Toronto in the year 2489, a city marked by economic repression and violence. You play as a digital medium tasked with assembling the fragmented memories of a cybernetic house in order to exorcise the ghosts within it. Using a deck of memory cards, you can manipulate time and navigate through the house.

One of the game’s most intriguing elements is the need to allow the digital ghosts of the past to possess your body. By doing so, you can decode memories, solve puzzles, and see the world from the ghosts’ perspective, creating the feeling of participating in a digital séance.

Using memory cards that hold the memories of former and current residents, you’ll attempt to piece together the broken history of the house you’re in. It’s like a distorted game of memory, where instead of matching pairs, you uncover the truth hidden behind the walls.

If you enjoy psychological horror games with time manipulation and ghost possession, Psychroma might be the game for you.
