HOLSTIN: The psychological, survival, pixel-art horror with unique 2XD rendering - announced!

Polish developer and publisher Sonka has announced their upcoming psychological horror, survival game, Holstin.

Holstin uses superior, unique 2XD rendering technology that allows the team to create real-time lighting in a pixel-art game.

Holstin is set in an eerie, isolated 90’s Polish lakeside town in which an ominous presence has slowly enveloped everything and everyone. A close colleague of yours came here, looking for answers to a newspaper story. But after a series of incoherent and troubling messages, all contact was lost. Now you need to venture into this psyche-shattering town to find out the truth and the fate of your friend. The game is heavily inspired by the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series with the narrative team aiming for a darker Twin Peaks feel.
