I’m a sucker for cinematic puzzle games set in lush worlds enshrouded in mystery: I loved The Talos Principle<\/a>, and I quite enjoyed The Witness<\/a> too, even though I wasn’t smart enough to get through much more than half of it. And so the new thing from Lunarch Studios and Dead by Daylight creator Behaviour Interactive looks like it might be right up my alley too.<\/p>\n

Currently known as Project S<\/a>, which I suspect will not be a permanent title, the game is set in an open world filled with quests, secrets, and “a huge variety of puzzle types organically embedded throughout the landscape.” It can be played solo or multiplayer\u2014specifics on multiplayer modes haven’t been shared yet\u2014with new areas, quests, and abilities unlocking as your character progresses.<\/p>\n
