So how do you stick things together? Some of the best film-makers find their movies in the edit, in that frightening, abstract landscape where time is fractured and can spin backwards, forwards, sideways if you want, while, simultaneously, the cutting suite is littered with old Hula-Hoop packets, its tables haloed with coffee stains. It's so strange, really, that at the heart of such a mysterious process should be something so deeply, infuriatingly practical. Lorelei And The Laser Eyes is being published by Annapurna Interactive and is aiming to release next year.Simogo shuffles through a stacked deck of rhythm-action delights, mastering yet another genre.Ī huge part of any creative endeavour, I suspect, is learning how to stick things together.
Personally, I'm happy to follow Simogo wherever they're going. Alice B enjoyed it a lot, although found it a bit too clever for its own sake. Simogo's previous game Sayonara Wild Hearts had a similarly romping approach to style and perspective. Plus, sometimes the world is depicted in wireframe, sometimes its edges are aliased like an old PSone horror game? The trailer above seems to cycle through perspectives, with the camera sometimes in the corner of a room, sometimes high above, sometimes first-person. The setup reminds me mostly of Device 6, Simogo's texty, twisty mystery game for iOS, albeit smooshed with their newfound talent for stylish 3D. Imagine an old baroque manor, perhaps a hotel or a museum, somewhere in central Europe. The description on the Lorelei Steam page isn't exactly a bulletpoint list of features, either. Well, I'm intrigued, even if I've very little idea what's going on. Check out the announcement trailer below. It's a mystery game, a puzzle game, set in a baroque manor and - as per everything they make - dripping with style. Simogo are perhaps best known now for power pop rhythm game Sayonara Wild Hearts, but their next game, Lorelei And The Laser Eyes, looks like something of a return to their roots.
