Developer Tainted Pact and publisher Assemble Entertainment are jumping into the 80-inspired horror games crowd at Gamescom with Terror at Oakheart. Announced for a Q4 2023 release on Steam and itch.io, Terror at Oakheart currently has a demo available that covers the prologue and the first chapter.
Similar to titles like Homebody and Killer Frequency, Terror at Oakheart aims to take advantage of the 80s horror film feel. The game centres on the community of Oakheart, and follows multiple characters who are in the sights of the psychotic serial murderer known as Teddy, who dons a clown costume for his killing spree, and is also apparently under the sway of a Lovecraftian beast. Players will step into the shoes of Eric, Ethan, Rose, Tyler and more unique characters in order to see who will survive.
Players will explore the town of Oakheart, including the nearby police station, a ranger station, camp areas, and Teddy’s own home. The more players explore, the more they’ll discover that there may just be more to the town of Oakheart than they thought. The game will also borrow cues from Clock Tower, as you’ll have to hide from Teddy in closets and the like in order to escape.
Terror at Oakheart is also available to try this week at Gamescom.
