This is a heady brew indeed. Also, there appears to be a cat in the game called Mr Tubbs, described as a “portly grey barrel of fur”. I entertain suspicions of Mr Tubbs. What fell secrets lurk behind his perfectly groomed exterior? Anyway, here’s the trailer.

The game exists partly as a result of recent industry “turbulence”, according to a press release – Betts has apparently had a tough time pitching bigger projects and has decided to “go back to his indie roots”. I wouldn’t have guessed that this was a kind of fallback game, personally – it looks very accomplished, with visual direction reminiscent ofDarkest Dungeon.
There’s a demo for The Horror At Highrook coming in an upcoming Steam fest, and Betts is hoping to release the game this year. This is definitely my preferred flavour of cosmic horror catnip, and go on, I’ll admit it: Soul Reaverdidhave a pretty dodgy camera.
