After news back in November of developer Nullpointer Games teaming up with Outersloth for The Horror at Highrook, they’ve today released the game’s Next Fest demo ahead of the title’s participation in Steam Next Fest later this month.
The Next Fest demo introduces players to the game’s “deviously clever systems” that lie at the dark heart of The Horror at Highrook, while slowly enveloping them with its enigmatic narrative.
Inspired by HP Lovecraft, Edgar Allen Poe and Bram Stoker, The Horror at Highrook sees players lead a team of occult investigators into the dark maw of Highrook Manor in search of the Ackerons – a noble family, who following rumours of dark pacts and shadowy rituals, have now vanished without a trace.
As players explore the haunted estate grounds, they will summon dark entities and craft powerful protections in a bid to uncover the fate of the missing family, all the while choosing their own path through the darkness.
A unique and cunning puzzle box of a game, The Horror at Highrook offers deeply rewarding tabletop inspired gameplay, tactile card manipulation, and an engrossing gothic-horror narrative. As the dark manor begins to unravel its secrets, it is brought to life with bold, eye-catching illustration and satisfyingly tactile animation.
The Horror at Highrook is scheduled to launch for PC via Steam later this year.
