A former Assassin's Creed dev is making a ghost-hunting horror mystery based on visits to abandoned convents, in which your greatest weapon is a chunky instant camera

Four nuns did a execution and it's your occupation to larn why

What's the adjacent logical games manufacture vocation measurement aft being a cinematic manager connected Deus Ex: Human Revolution, a pb cinematic advisor connected XCOM: The Bureau, and a manager astatine Ubisoft Montreal moving connected Assassin's Creed Unity and the precocious reborn 1666: Amsterdam? If you answered "explore abandoned convents with a camera crew, proceed to marque a fearfulness crippled astir it", past you are intelligibly Jesse Malcolm Sweet, developer of Sisters of Solitude, and I'll convey you to support your chemoreceptor retired of my drafts. G'wan, get thee to a nunnery!

Despite being inspired by a real-life movie project, Sisters of Solitude doesn't look to diagnostic overmuch recovered footage. Nor does it look similar Sweet's anterior credits successful the realm of cyberpunk and revolutionary Paris, though I conjecture you could hint a throughline from the witchy endeavours of 1666: Amsterdam. It's a top-down 8-bit pixelart affair, with players roaming a haunted convent arsenic they effort to lick the enigma of a murdered Mother Superior.

The ghosts of the 4 sisters who killed her are inactive here. In the people of immoderate open-ended exploration - "from the desecrated chapel, the greenhouse, [and] the cemetery to the aged theatre" - you'll excavation done aged diaries, find concealed doors, and marque usage of immoderate gadgets to flush retired the spooks. You mightiness besides "have to dabble successful the precise rituals that trapped these souls successful the archetypal place", according to the Steam page. Seems unwise. Dabbling each excessively easy becomes doing. I dabbled successful penning amateur videogame reviews 20 years agone and look what happened.

Your chunky ghost-hunting tools are pleasingly arranged on the near manus margin. They see an electromagnetic tract detector, utilized to observe some hidden documents and vengeful spirits, and an instant camera for the seizure of "spectral imprints". There's besides a portion platform with which to grounds the soundlessness of each room, past play it backmost with the measurement turned up truthful you tin perceive immoderate astral whispering. Some further vocation context: aft leaving Ubisoft, Sweet spent 4 years arsenic an creator manager astatine Kino Montreal, a movie-making non-profit. I americium hoping his evident expertise successful movie exertion volition widen to immoderate nicely in-depth forensic Paranormal Activity-style puzzles.

Sisters of Solitude is retired this year. If I've near you successful the temper for a convent execution mystery, Misericorde is already disposable and said to beryllium highly good. For thing table-toppier, possibly effort The Horror astatine Highrook.
