See the Haunting Conarium Launch Trailer Here – Perfect for Lovecraft Fans (VIDEO)
Fans of Lovecraftian horror games might want to continue reading. Zoetrope Interactive’s Conarium has officially hit Steam, and it has brought along a launch trailer with it. For those not in the know, the title is “Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s novella At the Mountains of Madness, but largely set after the original story.” It will feature the story of a group of scientists and their journey towards pushing what one may consider the “limits of nature.” Here’s a bit more about the title:
You, as Frank Gilman, open your eyes inside a room filled with strange, pulsating noises. Patterns of lights executing a Danse Macabre on the walls is presented by a queer device on the table. Having recalled nothing other than that you’re in Upuaut, an Antarctic base located near the South Pole, you find the place deserted and have a distinct feeling of something being terribly wrong. Somehow knowing that your memories cannot guide you enforces a strange feeling of vulnerability, a familiar yet alien sensation of being a part of a peculiar whole… Soon you will discover that having used the device during the expedition, you have died but then returned subtly changed, speaking of strange memories and of strange places. You have lost something important or gained something sinister…”
Conarium was made with Unreal Engine 4, contains a multitude of Easter eggs and secrets, has multiple endings, and provides players with “A haunting and atmospheric soundtrack.” Really, it’s sounding and looking like a quality Lovecraftian horror game, and even early reviews on Steam are pointing in that direction. Plus, it is from the same devs and publisher of Darkness Within, so it has to be good, right? Conarium is available now on Steam, and a special promotion currently allows players to pick it up for $16.99, which will end on June 13. After that, it will go to its normal $19.99 price.
