Com2uS Pushes Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Game to 2028
Players control Diana as future visions alter the timeline, with Sam Barlow’s studio and Brandon Cronenberg aiming for an authentic sci-fi horror experience.
- At the inaugural Kinetic Publishing showcase, Immortality creator Sam Barlow's studio Half Mermaid Productions unveiled Precognition, their new FMV horror game formerly known as Project C. The title follows a woman named Diana navigating visions of her future.
- Barlow originally conceived the project as an FMV Metroid game, but realized the narrative grew too dark for Nintendo's mascot characters. The story structure worked best as a standalone, subjective horror experience instead.
- Canadian filmmaker Brandon Cronenberg collaborated to craft an authentic sci-fi horror atmosphere. The game features non-linear storytelling where players take notes to decipher Diana's visions of events she has not yet lived.
- Launching in spring 2028 on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2, Precognition centers on Diana committing future visions to memory, which creates alternate timelines based on her choices.
- Developers suggest the game may function as a 'notebook' experience, focusing on player agency and freedom. Cronenberg noted that because these games are inherently subjective, no two people will have the same experience.
