Less than three years after its initial release, the critically acclaimed game Someday You’ll Return has received a significant improvement by CBE Software in the form of a Director’s Cut. The extended version of the newly improved game is being published by Bohemia Interactive and offers hundreds of improvements and additions to both its content and gameplay. Furthermore, PlayStation owners will be excited to learn that the game’s dark atmosphere and powerful story set in the depths of Moravian forests will be available to them for the very first time. Someday You’ll Return: Director’s Cut is now available on Steam for 19.99 USD and at the PlayStation Store for 24.99 USD. Previous owners of the game will receive the enhanced version for free.
The original Someday You’ll Return (released in 2021) is a critically acclaimed psychological horror game developed by CBE Software. With Someday You’ll Return: Director’s Cut, the game has been significantly improved and expanded, and is now available on both PlayStation 4 and 5, as well as for PC.
Someday You’ll Return is a story-driven game about the search for Stela, a young daughter lost in the surreal forests of South Moravia. Players take on the role of Stela’s father Daniel who is forced to return to the forest which he’s vowed to stay away from. The game deals with the concepts of fear, lies, and fatherhood, as well as coming to terms with one’s past. There are numerous elements of fantasy and horror involved, where it’s not always clear what’s real and what isn’t, or who the actual monster truly is.
In Someday You’ll Return: Director’s Cut, players must use their wits, a map, and local tourist signs to explore a landscape that is both beautiful and treacherous. The world is full of old memories, abandoned camps, steep hills, gloomy swamps, and collapsed bunkers. It is within these magical forests, inspired by the South Moravian landscape, where stories, riddles, and hidden dangers await.
The game also offers extensive crafting, allowing you to edit, disassemble, and craft new artifacts out of items you collect along your travels in order to advance the story. Included as well are the ancient arts of herbalism and alchemy. This enables players to craft mystical potions that will help them solve difficult puzzles and eventually lead them to uncover the truth about Stela.
