Saturnalia's acclaimed psychedelic survival horror hits Steam this November
20.10.2023 - 19:03 / eurogamer.net
Saturnalia, the acclaimed — and previously Epic Games Store-exclusive — survival horror from MirrorMoon EP developer Santa Ragione, is coming to Steam on 8th November.
Santa Ragione (which also published Lorenzo Redaelli's stellar post-pandemic horror Mediterranea Inferno earlier this year) had initially planned to launch Saturnalia onto Valve's platform in time for Halloween, but has not, alas, quite made it.
Still, even without a seasonally optimal release, Saturnalia remains a spookily good time — whisking players away to the ancient, ever-shifting village of Gravoi for an Sardinia folklore-inspired adventure that Eurogamer contributor Simon Parkin called a «horrible nightmare in all the right ways» in his Recommended review last year.
The aim of Saturnalia, if you're unfamiliar, is to solve the mystery of the village in order to escape its confines, exploring and avoiding its horrors along the way. Players can switch between four different characters at will as they try to puzzle their way to freedom, but if everyone dies, the town reconfigures its labyrinthine layout for another attempt — albeit with narrative and puzzle progress retained.
Saturnalia's Steam release coincides with an update introducing an optional first-person camera, a photo mode, camera customisation settings, and a monochrome film noir filter for those who like their horror less pyschedelic and more subdued. It also adds a setting for «smoother animations», which switches the initial release's intentionally jerky rotoscope effects out for more natural 60fps animations, should you find the original style a little too disorientating.
Saturnalia launches for Steam on 8th November, and there's a 40-minute demo — introducing the world, mechanics, and characters — available to play right now if you're sufficiently intrigued.

Your new co-op survival horror obsession is about being underpaid and overworked space scavengers
Newly released cooperative horror indie game Lethal Company is getting a lot of buzz from early players. It's a simple setup: You and your crew of three other scavengers drop on to an abandoned moon station, get as many valuables as you can, and get out. If that seems simple, well, there are a lot of ways for it to go wrong, and a lot of them have way more legs than I prefer anything larger than a thumbnail to have.

Enter an abandoned amusement park to solve a horror mystery in this upcoming bit of indie psychological horror
Players that devour games like Resident Evil and Control alike, not to mention the just-released Alan Wake 2, should keep their eyes on an indie that popped up on Steam recently: Crow Country. It's an indie horror game with that vague aesthetic of the PSX era that channels the likes of not just the early survival horror like Resident Evil, but the more esoterically strange and scientific scares of games like Parasite Eve.
