Saturnalia is an upcoming indie survival horror with one of the most interesting visual styles I\u2019ve seen in the genre in a minute.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Developed by Italy-based studio Santa Ragione, Saturnalia is influenced heavily by the folklore of Sardinia, Italy, and inspired by Italian Giallo horror films (typically more horror-esque mystery thrillers). In it, you control four different characters, all connected through a mysterious storyline\u00a0that ties back to the \u201chaunting traditions\u201d of an ancient village.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe village itself is an elaborate maze with no two iterations being precisely the same \u2013 you will have to explore and solve mysteries of the game largely unguided,\u201d the game\u2019s website<\/a> reads. \u201cDie, and watch the village reconfigure itself into a new form. Solve puzzles and open shortcuts to new areas with tools and items you find along the way, unlocking every piece of the story with different characters, each suited for another aspect of exploration and investigation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n All of that sounds great, but Saturnalia’s unique art style makes me most excited. It\u2019s like a mix of stop-motion and sketchbook, which looks like it\u2019ll lend itself nicely to the game’s horror elements. Check it out for yourself below:<\/p>\n
