One-Eyed Likho is a narrative-driven first-person horror adventure game with an eclectic mix of influences that will be released on PC next year.

As part of theFuture Games Showat Gamescom Presented by Sid Meier’s Civilization® VII, developer Morteshka gives us our latest look at the spook ‘em up, showcasing new environments, game content, and a release window.

The dark and moody trailer starts us in a dark hall as we walk through a gate and look up to the stars through our shattered cathedral. After the glimpse of a head on spider legs, we get several shots of water crashing against the cliffside, a woodpile set on fire, and other mood-setting shots. We also get a sense of puzzle-solving and other horrors as we close with our release window reveal of next year.

The gameplay itself focuses on exploration and discovery, though expect an eerie journey. You’ve also got a burn mechanic used for fire-based puzzles and lighting your way through the dark and unknown.

Most importantly, you won’t have to wait long to play it. The horror will be released next year on Steam.
