Sadness – Upcoming Gothic Horror game for Revolution

NIBRIS, a Cracow (Poland) based developing team has “announced” its upcoming gothic horror title for the Nintendo Revolution, titled Sadness. While no gameplay details were disclosed, the company stated that we will begin seeing screenshots around the end of April. During their talk with Piotr Ortowski, from NIBRIS, AMN found that he was more talkative on the subject of Sadness and the kind of experience that the makers wanted to create for the gamers who play it.

“All I can say now is that it [Sadness] is going to be a gothic horror which will scare not with the amount of blood but sheer atmosphere. Imagine a game in which you do not use guns or knives but you will have to protect yourself with the objects you find exploring the ground – a stone, a stick, etc.”

“Some examples of using the controller – you swing a torch with it to scare the rats off, you slit the throat (controller as a piece of glass of a knife); if you want to climb the wall you will have to hook a rope over the piece of a wall sticking out (controller serving as a lasso). And this is only the beginning. The game will be for single player and single player only. For an adult player with strong nerves. Let me mention that the scenario will have associations with narcolepsy, nyctophobia and paranoid schizophrenia. The scenario will surprise you.” More information as it develops.
