There’s a label for all sorts of phobias and conditions, but Syndrome is a broad title that encompasses fear. That fear occurs in space as this is a sci-fi horror game coming to PS4 later this year.

From RedDeerGames, the action takes place on the most advanced science space station in all of Novacore: Valkenberg. You’ve just surfaced from cryosleep and found the place to be deserted. No, they haven’t all gone to the rapture: something is killing them off and subsequently hunting you.

As the enemies in Syndrome both outpower and outnumber you, you’ll have to shapeshift into a cowardly custard and hide. Ammo is scarce, and to top everything, your mind is starting to play tricks on you. Talk about a hard time.

Key features in Syndrome include:

  • KILL OR BE KILLED. You’ll find weapons on the ship, but the ammunition supply is limited. Count your bullets and stay in the shadows 
  • DEADLY ADVERSARIES. Enemies are dangerous, they’re hunters so they’ll follow any noises and investigate any disturbances so beware
  • MENTAL HORROR. Not just typical jumpscares – you’re closed on a creepy, claustrophobic spaceship with countless horrors inside, both physical and psychological
  • INTRIGUING PLOT – A seemingly simple mission turned into a bloody scenario – it’s up to you to find out what’s really going on
  • DEEP LORE TO DISCOVER – Plenty of exploration awaits for you to do inside the ship, and many things to discover about the story

Here’s the trailer (for the Switch as well?):

Out on PS4 later in the year, when there’s a Syndrome release date, your boy will report it. Whoever that is. Once I know, I’ll post an update here, too.
