Downward Spiral: Horus Station to release at the end of May
3rd Eye Studios has announced that Downward Spiral: Horus Station will release on PC, on May 31st, with the PlayStation 4 release to happen sometime in the Winter months. The game will feature full VR support on either platform.
Celebrating this news, the developer has released their next dev diary, which explores the games groundbreaking locomotion system and narrative-first design philosophy.
Downward Spiral: Horus Station lures players through a lost vessel abandoned by its crew. Solving the mystery of the space station will take wits and ingenuity as you fight or avoid dangers unknown. Use the ship's maintenance hardware - like bolt throwers, rail guns, and arc welders to take out threats, solve puzzles and find the truth of why Horus Station has been left drifting in space.
“Downward Spiral: Horus Station represents our dream of how immersion, interactivity, and storytelling can combine into a cohesive whole,” said Gregory Louden, Lead Designer of 3rd Eye Studios. “We’d like to combine the thought-provoking mysteries of sci-fi classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Solaris and combine it with the moody, immersive and interactive atmosphere.”
The game supports Oculus Rift with Touch, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality on PC, and PlayStation VR on PlayStation 4.
