The gaming community's demand for psychological horror titles never seems to wane. With many still on the lookout for the next best PT-inspired horror video game, game companies are looking to capitalize on this dedicated niche in the market. Recently, a new psychological horror game called No Return has made an announcement that it is launching this 2022, and the game's trailer is hinting that the gameplay is heavily-inspired by PT, the playable teaser connected to Silent Hill that never came to be.
In the past few years, gamers have seen the rise of many horror video games. Especially those that can be played with multiple people. Independent titles such as Phasmophobia experienced hype due to its simple yet incredibly creepy multiplayer gameplay. What's more, VR technology allows for a more horrifying experience for those who truly enjoy the psychological horror genre. With No Return having the same first-person perspective similar to PT's and Phasmophobia, fans are likely hoping for the same terror aspect as the titles it is inspired by.
In an exclusive announcement trailer, No Return revealed that it is launching this Fall/Autumn 2022 for the PC. The title is being developed by a China-based independent studio called BlameTech. The development team is lean with six people, with shared experiences at Tencent, NetEase, and Vancouver Film School. No Return will also be published by indie company Pixmain, which is known to have published the mobile versions of My Time At Portia. According to the official description of No Return, the game is centered around a family tragedy in modern-day China. Players will find themselves stuck in a never-ending loop of hallways, with mysteries to solve in order to get themselves out of the situation.
According to the game's Steam page, No Return's gameplay will be inspired by Chinese folklore, and will involve puzzles to help solve the mystery of horrifying endless hallways. Similar to other upcoming horror titles like MADiSON and Luto, there seems to be a recurring theme of never-ending hallways and home tragedies in today's list of psychological horror video games.
Nevertheless, No Return's video trailer offers both in-game and cinematic shots to set the look and feel of the title. Without a doubt, Silent Hill fans will enjoy the terrifying scenes and horror vibes that the trailer showcases, which may be enough for them to check out the title when it launches later this year. Hopefully No Return does not disappoint and provides an enjoyable horror experience for those who love the genre.
No Return is launching for PC this Fall/Autumn 2022.
