Inspired By Silent Hill And Resident Evil: HideWorks Announces Upcoming Horror Game “Liminal Point”

by

Fans of Silent Hill and Resident Evil can look forward to this upcoming title.

A Psychological Survival Horror Experience

Recently, HideWorks unveiled their latest creation – a chilling third-person survival indie horror game titled “Liminal Point“. This intriguing project draws inspiration from some of the most notable names in the horror genre, including Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Signalis.

Regrettably, those eagerly anticipating this news need to brace themselves for a while: The game is planned for launch in 2026, which means there will be some waiting involved. However, we’ve gathered all the available information about it up to now.

1. The game blends survival horror and psychological horror elements, features an original soundtrack, and is played from an isometric perspective (a third-person viewpoint in a three-dimensional environment with an angled viewpoint offering a wider field of vision than top-down or side perspectives).

2. This game will be available on PC but also supports Xbox controllers.

In this rephrased version: You assume the role of Lyra, a once-famous rock star who receives a cryptic voicemail that guides her back to Ashen Point island, where her bandmate Mira vanished. Upon arrival, she encounters an eerie fog and terrifying beasts (which may seem familiar), and as she ventures deeper, she starts to doubt the very fabric of her reality.

A Rising Studio In The Horror Scene

In their repertoire, HideWorks has just developed their second title. Their debut offering, titled “The Devil is in the Details“, showcases a fusion of several genres: it’s part anomaly detection, escape room, and survival horror. Unlike their earlier release, “Liminal Point“, this game adopts a first-person viewpoint. The objective here involves battling against the devil who has imprisoned you within a mansion, continuously summoning horrifying demons to challenge you. The game features randomly generated elements, ensuring that each gaming session varies from the last. Its launch occurred in September 2024.

To put it simply, HideWorks is relatively fresh in the realm of horror production, but its initial offerings, these two titles, have already demonstrated versatility across various horror and gaming niches. Horror enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating what other surprises this studio might unveil!
