Prepare yourself for a bone-chilling experience as horror publisher Feardemic announces the console ports of Burnhouse Lane, the latest title from Harvester Games, the studio behind the acclaimed game The Cat Lady. This highly anticipated horror adventure will be available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch starting June 29th, offering players a chance to embark on a terrifying journey that will leave them questioning life itself.
In Burnhouse Lane, players will assume the role of Angie Walker, a worn-out agency nurse who finds herself on the brink of death. In a desperate bid to reclaim her life, Angie must undertake five seemingly impossible tasks. As players delve deeper into this suspenseful narrative, they will confront their darkest fears, solve intricate puzzles, forge both alliances and adversaries, and navigate a treacherous path filled with danger.
Harvester Games, renowned for their previous titles such as The Cat Lady (2012), Downfall (2016), and Lorelai (2019), delivers another masterfully crafted horror experience. Burnhouse Lane is a game that transcends the boundaries of conventional storytelling, immersing players in a world where death, friendship, and hope intersect.
Drawing inspiration from classic adventure games, Burnhouse Lane combines elements of choose-your-own-story mechanics popularized by Telltale’s The Walking Dead series with light survival horror shooting mechanics reminiscent of Silent Hill and Resident Evil. Every decision counts as players navigate through the game, as ammo is scarce, enemies are relentless, and every shot fired carries tremendous weight.
The game features a variety of gameplay elements to keep players engaged. Solve classic adventure-style inventory puzzles in a unique 5D chess-like manner, where strategic thinking and resourcefulness are paramount. Engage in branching dialogues that require players to mind their tongue and make decisions that shape the outcome of the story. Burnhouse Lane also incorporates platforming and combat sections, allowing players to take control of the action and test their skills.
One aspect that sets Burnhouse Lane apart is its hauntingly beautiful soundtrack. Created by the talented composer micAmic and featuring guest contributions, the original score amplifies the atmosphere of the game, enveloping players in an eerie and immersive soundscape.
To enhance the overall experience, Burnhouse Lane offers full English voice acting. Immerse yourself in the narrative as talented voice actors bring the characters to life, ensuring an engaging and emotionally charged adventure.
As the release date approaches, anticipation for Burnhouse Lane continues to grow. Players eagerly await the opportunity to embark on a terrifying adventure that will take them to dark places, elicit a range of emotions, and provoke profound introspection. Harvester Games and Feardemic have set the stage for a spine-tingling experience that promises to captivate fans of horror games and leave a lasting impression.
Mark your calendars for June 29th and prepare to enter the twisted world of Burnhouse Lane. Can you conquer the impossible tasks and find a reason to continue, even in the face of despair? Only time will tell if you have what it takes to survive the darkness that awaits you.
