Developer Tainted Pact and publisher Assemble Entertainment have announced that their 80-inspired horror adventure game Terror at Oakheart will finally arrive later this month for Steam and itch.io. Previously announced for a late release last year, the game will now instead hit on February 27th. Accompanying the announcement is a brand new trailer.
Terror at Oakheart centres on the eponymous community, and follows a wide cast of characters, each of whom is destined to perish at the hands of the psychotic serial killer known as Teddy. If that wasn’t enough intrigue, Teddy is also apparently under the sway of a Lovecraftian beast.
Players will step into the shoes of Eric, Ethan, Rose, Tyler and other characters as you move through a number of sets throughout the town, such as Teddy’s house, the nearby police station, a ranger station, camp areas, and others. As you explore, you’ll investigate and uncover more about Teddy and the town of Oakheart. Of course, you’ll also watch as each one survives or falls at Teddy’s hands. Luckily, you’re able to hide from Teddy in closets and the like in order to escape.
And as always, if you’re keen to check out the game before it releases, the Steam demo that covers the first chapter of Terror at Oakheart released last year is still very much available.
