There’s something about European countries being ripe for horror video games. Polish developer and publisher Sonka are adding to that list with their upcoming psychological horror survival game, Holstin. Holstin is currently up on Steam for wishlisting, though no release date has been announced.
Set in 90s Poland, and heavily inspired by Survival Horror mainstays Resident Evil and Silent Hill (with a dash of Twin Peaks for good measure), Holstin is set in the eerie, isolated lakeside town of Jeziorne-Kolonia, where an ominous presence has slowly enveloped everything and everyone. A close colleague of yours came here looking for answers to a story they found in the newspapers. But after a series of incoherent and troubling messages, contact with them was abruptly cut off. Now you need to venture into this town to find out the truth and the fate of your friend.
As you might expect, you’ll be scavenging supplies and weapons to fight off the monsters that lurk in the town. As well, you’ll be chatting it up with the locals for answers. However, given whatever it is that’s currently got a grip on the town, the people in Jeziorne-Kolonia aren’t quite all there. Still, those still conscious in this void of a town are willing to help, though teetering on the brink of insanity and having to answer some of your questions might not be the best idea.
