Frictional Games, known for its work on psychological horror titles such as Amnesia and Soma, has revealed new gameplay for its upcoming sci-fi game, Ontos. The presentation showcased a title that appears to continue the studio's tradition of disturbing themes and unsettling atmospheres.
Ontos places players in the role of an engineer exploring an abandoned hotel situated on the moon. The game's design centers around intricate puzzles and narrative choices that will significantly impact the game's conclusion. Actor Stellan Skarsgård is contributing to the voice cast for the project.
A particularly striking sequence from the gameplay reveal featured a harrowing experiment where a human consciousness had been integrated into a server composed of live rats. The developers presented this concept with visuals and audio designed to be deeply unsettling.
Ontos is slated for release in 2027 and will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. A new trailer offers a glimpse into the game's disturbing content.
