Hypnos
A new exploration title, Hypnos, is teased out there to have us wander more of the realm of Hypnos when it is ready
It will be time to enter into another Nameless City in the world out there, with the teaser that we have for Hypnos. This is a new title in the series of titles that Enclave and Redlock Studio are working on for the PC. A title that will have us walking about the lands where the gods dwell, even if this sounds more like a Lovecraftian horror than anything. Sounds can be deceiving, as the visuals that we have to look at for Hypnos, it is a lot lighter than we have seen in the genre before. That could just be how things are being presented, so maybe things will change along the way. For now, let's see what we have out there for the game so we can be ready to see where these dreams will take us.
Not much else beyond all of that and the little bit of footage that we have for Hypnos is here for the game, sadly. Given that we are set to explore more than anything in the game, it does make a bit of sense that we are only going to have this. Although it is listed that Hypnos will have branching dialog trees and alternate endings in the end, so there could be a chance that the world shifts based on all of this. It would explain why some of the following look a bit more grim and other parts a little more on the lighter side. If this is all the gameplay we can expect, as it does look to be just a showcase of the environments and not as much showing how our character will be walking this new dream world. Have a look and see if you are intrigued by it all as well.
Hypnos — Teaser
Hypnos is a first-person adventure and exploration game, set in a Lovecraftian megastructure fever dream.
Enter the Nameless City at the edge of Dreams. Follow the trail into the shadow of the Holy Mountain. Wander through realms where the laws of the universe break down as they yield to other forces. Walk the Path and embrace your destiny.
“In the Dreamlands, all paths lead to the holy mountain of Kadath, where the gods dwell. Shadowed by the mountain is the Nameless City, built on the ruins of those who came before. There, Choron, a vagabond burdened by his past, searches for a faceless boy who haunts his dreams. To find the boy and unravel the threads of his own destiny, Choron must solve the city's mysteries, face the Monarchs who rule the far reaches of the world, and cross the veils that separate ignorance from truth.”
- Exploration: wander a unique semi-open world. Find your own way through the Nameless City.
- Branched Dialogues, Choices, & Alternative Endings: Meet the strange inhabitants of the Far Reaches. Dreamers, spirits, creatures, and bizarre figures — they are all caught in the same web of causality. Your actions influence their destinies.
- Layered World: Interact with your environment. Transform the material of dreams and the City with it. Lift the veils that conceal reality.
Does Hypnos look like a new title that you might want to explore when it is ready for the world? Is it weird to have things listed as Lovecraftian yet be on the lighter side of things in the world? How deep will the narrative go, and will the choices we make truly matter when all is said and done? How many different ways will the game be able to end out there? Let's talk it all out in the comment section below. We'll try to keep up on everything that we can for Hypnos, so please try to keep up with us on the site. You might also want to follow our socials to know when that all comes, or if you are looking for news and updates for other titles that might have piqued your interest a bit more instead.
