‘It’s an exciting time to be a survival horror fan. New, innovative hardware and software are now easily accessible to both the developer and consumer” explains Robert Bruce, founder of Dream Wave Games and creator of Absention.
Absention is inspired by true survival horror greats such as Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness and Silent Hill so fans can expect a mixture of mental challenge, intense gameplay, and immersive environments.
“There are so many indie horror games out there that Absention does risk being thrown in with the lot, but upon closer inspection, Absention will deliver a true survival-horror experience following in the footsteps of those classics,”“What sets Absention apart is its AAA quality visuals, the time loop ‘Groundhog Day’ mechanic, and its approach to horror without the reliance of cheap jump scares or gritty environments.”“That lingering uneasy feeling is the most effective form of horror. Jump scares and gore have a powerful reaction, but not a lasting one. In Absention there are no scripted jump scares, no gore and it’s set in a beautiful environment. The horror comes from how quickly things can turn sinister, and how looks can be deceiving. Absention will force players to go beneath the surface and explore the unknown.”
