Indie developer X1 Games has announced that their psychological horror adventure title Emotionless: The Last Ticket will launch on Steam on September 18. And in case you missed the demo for Steam Next Fest last month, it’s still very much available.
Emotionless: The Last Ticket drops players into a creepy amusement park, taking them on a surreal trip as they try to find their way out its haunting plot and atmosphere. Players step into the shoes of James Anderson on a journey through the amusement park built by his missing father. Inspired by liminal spaces and cosmic elements, James enters a surreal world from the echoes of an empty maintenance tunnel to the unsettling rustle of the trees surrounding the once lively park.
Just as you’d dread as a kid if you were at an amusement park, your sense of direction will be relentlessly tested as you get lost, find the right path, and then get lost again within the game’s disorienting world. Just when you think you’ve grasped the layout, the environment shifts. There is no immersion-breaking combat in Emotionless. Rather, the game relies on atmosphere, exploration, and a haunting plot to provide its horror experience. If you so choose, you can even check out the abandoned rides.
“We’ve poured our hearts into crafting the haunting story of Emotionless: The Last Ticket, and after so much time in development, we can’t wait for players to finally step into this surreal world we’ve created when it launches in September,” says game director Ivan Madunić.
