Here's the trailer!

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

I'm in. They've earned my trust.

 

[Bartski]

what the

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Well this is.... definitely not something I expect from the devs of Blasphemous.

 

[SJRB]

Wow that was a surprise for sure. Such a drastic departure from Blasphemous but it's cool that they're trying new things.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I mean. It looks cool. But I don’t wanna play it. Haha. If I had more gaming time I could see getting into it.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Here's the Steam page for the game since I think that OP mistakenly linked to Blasphemous II instead.

Anyway, wishlisted since it looks interesting.

 

[AJUMP23]

Interesting

 

[Little Chicken]

 

[near]

Looks like a real time strategy stealth game, with 5 unique characters each with specific traits and abilities where you play to there strengths each day on individuals runs to achieve a long term escape plan. Promising. Wishlisted.

Edit: Might end up a day one, I'm liking what I'm reading here.

Each playable character possesses a fully realized set of traumas and phobias. To effectively navigate the monastery, you must be mindful of each character's mental health.

Triggering these traits depletes a character’s sanity, ultimately triggering a traumatic event with negative effects such as paranoia, dementia, or bouts of violence; fundamentally changing how the afflicted character is played.

 

[EruditeHobo]

Awesome.

Absolutely in on this.

 

[ADiTAR]

very innovative. That's how you do it, you start off by copying gameplay ideas and creating a good game of your own, creating a pipeline, and then venture into new ground.

Indies continue to deliver.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Though not similar, I'm convinced they had Eternal Darkness in mind when making this.

It looks very interesting.

 

[TexMex]

After Blasphemous 2 I don't care what it is, I'm there day one.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm in. This is much more my style lately. Been playing a lot of tactical stealth SRPGs.

 

[BbMajor7th]

Going back to their roots. Thier first game - The Last Door - was an episodic, point and click style horror game and it was genuinely excellent.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Is this like The Cave? The game from Doublefine where you pick a few characters from a list and use their abilites throughout the enitire game?

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Looks good. Cool they are branching out and trying new stuff.

EDIT: Oh I guess they have done this type of game before. I missed it!

 

[Seider]

Im sure this game takes inspiration from "La Abadía del Crimen", a spanish game launched in the eighties for Amstrad CPC, Spectrum, Msx and Pc.

 

[Barakov]

Looks interesting but it's probably not my cup of tea. Still have to get around to playing Blasphemous 2.

 

[Roberts]

I can see Stoic vibes in this. I'm in.

 

[Ferdimage]

I was so excited to see the thread specially after playing both 1&2, and completely loving it.
But this is not what I expected.

Currently playing Moonscars, so I'm content for now.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

That looks interesting. On my radar now.

 

[dreamstation]

Loved Blasphemous but glad they are trying something different. Would hate to see them keep churning out the same stuff for a decade.

Yes. Let's stop doing what we're really good at. Good call.

This looks alright but hopefully there will be a Blasphemous 3.

 

[Seider]

The game was announced three years ago. There is a video on Youtube three years old.

So you can put woke stuff in a game and make it interesting.
Managing your mental health in a gameplay perspective instead of only using it as virtue signaling plot point (im looking at you dust born) is a good idea.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Blasphemous devs picking up where Mimimi left off? Is that what I'm seeing? Because I fucking LOVE Shadow Tactics and Desperados.

 

[Madonis]

This sounds pretty impressive and creative. Let them cook.

I'm sure they'll do something closer to Blasphemous eventually, but they've already made a sequel. Time to diversify their projects.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Obligatory...

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Art style is intact for sure...but to so drastically change their genera is a "bold move Cotton".

Music in the trailer is great, while I will probably bounce off this in less than an hour I am more than willing to give them the money for the amount of effort they have put into previous titles.

[Lupin3]

Sure looks interesting enough.

[Sooner]

The creators of Blasphemous making a game like this is.... well, blasphemous.

 

[EviLore]

Looks cool, I’m in. Glad that they’re taking some risks instead of sticking to the same formula.

 

[Ocean Dweller]

There is now a demo available for The Stone of Madness
