Arriving next year, Somber resembles a mash-up of Limbo and Bride of Re-Animator.
No, Jeffrey Combs doesn’t put in an appearance, but the teaser trailer for this upcoming platformer smacks of the scenes where Herbert West tries to reanimate body parts. Your protagonist seems to be a sentient eyeball, cloaked in a huge, noxious fart. No, we’re absolutely not making this up.
Apparently it’s a “friendly but deadly creature” but even if it wasn’t capable of killing people with its guffs, we’d still raise an eyebrow if it slithered its way towards us. Still, developer You Will Get There is aiming for a Tim Burton style aesthetic, so it probably won’t be as horrifying as we think it might be. They do boast it’ll require “precision platforming and nerves of steel” so maybe there’s a little Dark Souls in there too.

Somber is set for a Q1 2022 release and will be arriving on PC though we wouldn’t be surprised if it hits consoles at some point too. You can check out the teaser trailer below or wishlist it on Steam.
