Denis Rudy, former Team Lead Level Designer of STALKER 2, talked about his own project LYSA HORA: The Haunted Hill. It is an atmospheric horror game based on real locations.
«I’m inspired by Kyiv, the basis is real photos, real locations, and then a little artistic vision and level and game design finalize it all», Rudy said on the GamedevDOU forum.
LYSA HORA tells the story of a student who has just moved to Kyiv in search of a new life, but soon begins to suffer from nightmares about a mysterious mountain. Every day the dreams become more realistic; in them he sees underground tunnels, abandoned buildings and a strange device that once contained something dangerous.
Players will need to explore the environment, collect fragments of history, solve complex puzzles, and overcome obstacles with parkour elements. The project description states that this is a science fiction horror where «ancient rituals intertwine with Soviet experiments.»
LYSA HORA is scheduled to be released on Steam on April 24. The game will have Ukrainian and Russian localization.
