Good things come to those who wait, and the wait is finally over for those looking to dive into Selecta Play and Broken Bird Games’ psychological horror game Luto. Available today on the PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, there’s also a physical Special Edition of Luto available for the PlayStation 5.
In Luto, you play as a person who, pained by loss and the resulting mental anguish, is trapped in their own home. Finding a way to leave will result in a series of paths that will “challenge your senses.” That in turn involves exploring the pain caused by the loss of a loved one, the horror of the insecurity to the deepest darkness hidden behind anxiety and depression.
That anxiety in Luto is explored by different phobias, including monophobia (fear of being alone), claustrophobia, agoraphobia, nyctophobia (fear of the dark) and more. Players will unravel the story at their own pace, piecing together meaning from fragmented memories and surreal surroundings.
Every attempt to escape will drive you deeper into madness… or closer to the answers you seek. Explore carefully and keep your wits about you: every sense will be tested in this house of unimaginable horror. Only by facing your fear of loss can you uncover the truth.
Meanwhile, the Luto Special Edition includes the physical game, along with a comic that delves into the lore of Luto, stickers, and an o-card slipcover.
