Indie Horror Game Perception Confirmed for PS4 2017 Release

Former developers of Irrational Games, known for BioShock, and Visceral Games, known for Dead Space, studio The Deep End Games and their publisher Feardemic has announced that their upcoming PC exclusive game Perception is now coming to PS4.

Perception is a kickstarter project that was announced only for the PC. However, now the game is coming to PS4 and PC this year.

"Perception is a first-person narrative horror adventure that tells the story of Cassie, a blind heroine who uses her extraordinary hearing and razor-sharp wits to unravel the mysteries of an abandoned estate that haunts her dreams.

After months of research, she discovers an abandoned mansion in Gloucester, MA. Once there, Cassie finds that Echo Bluff is worse than her nightmares. A ghostly Presence has tormented its inhabitants over generations, and it now hunts Cassie. She must solve the estate’s mysteries or become one of its victims.

Cassie finds her way by tapping her cane and can “see” via echolocation. She needs to avoid detection and uses ambient sounds of the house to help her navigate or uses objects to create distractions. Every sound creates a visual. But there is a cost…sound will attract your enemies and reveal your location.

But you’ll also need to match wits with the Presence, a mysterious force that haunts the mansion. When playing, you must carefully weigh the risk of making too much noise against the possibility of being discovered. Once spotted, your only hope is to run, hide, and pray that it doesn’t find you. Cassie can also use the ambient sounds of the house to her advantage, by throwing objects like alarm clocks to create “sound bombs” that can distract her enemies.

Then there is the mansion of Echo Bluff, which has grown to almost be a character unto itself as it shifts through the different time periods and messes with the player."

Creative Director at The Deep End Games, Bill Gardner, stated:

“We have had an overwhelming number of requests to bring Perception to PlayStation 4 players. Needless to say, we’re stoked to make this happen! It’s also fantastic to have a great publishing partner like Feardemic to help ship the game, allowing us to focus on development as much as possible.”

Feardemic's marketing manager Marta Matyjewicz said:

“We couldn’t dream of a better partner than The Deep End Games to commence our work in the publishing industry. We’re excited to work with Perception, and honoured that we have the opportunity to deliver this unique horror experience to players on PC and PS4.”

Currently now exact release date has been confirmed.
