The independent game developer Naughty Cow has announced that their survival horror game SUFFOCATE will be launching on Steam at the end of October.
SUFFOCATE is a realistic 3D first-person survival horror game. Set in the present day, the plot revolves around family relationships, a mysterious cult, and the greed that permeates human nature. The game doesn’t shy away from adult topics and offers to thrill the players in this one-of-a-kind survival horror experience, and done so in a Taiwanese style.
Slowly uncover the horrifying truth and witness what happens when everything goes wrong for a happy family. As the story unfolds, engage in gripping feats of stealth, parkour, and puzzle-solving—not to mention your ability to conquer your deepest fears!
SUFFOCATE is inspired by a variety of horror games and movies, and referenced important incidents in recent Taiwanese history to design the overarching storyline, such as the “Snails without Shells” movement and the Liu Pang-yu murder, to name just two. Some other inspirations include The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful, Island of Greed, Double Vision, On Children, The Untold Story, among many more.
The player will find themselves in the Lin family residence, which exudes an architectural style popular in Taiwan in the 1980s and 90s. The design reflects the luxurious villas of celebrities and artists commonly seen on Yangming Mountain, and the suburban areas of Beitou and Tianmu.
What Naughty Cow loves most about horror entertainment of all kinds is how unique the experience is to players and viewers. The team hopes to make the player scream (out of terror and a little bit of joy) by enjoying their take on the Horror genre.
SUFFOCATE will release on Steam on October 23rd at 8:00 AM [EDT]. If horror and east asian mysteries pique your interest, SUFFOCATE will be a worthy addition to your Wishlist.
