Someday You’ll Returnsetsthe upcoming horror titleoff by placing the player into the shoes of Daniel, a father looking for his missing daughter Stela. However, Daniel will have to endure horrors to find his runaway daughter by returning to a traumatic place from his past, the ancient Moravian forests. Supposedly the player character had promised never to enter this place again, but as the game’s title suggests, Daniel has no choice but to return in search of Stela.
The game will include a number of classic horror mechanics, including crafting, stealth, and a karma system that adds weight to player action as the course of events change based on player decisions. From the trailer, players should be ready for a similar experience tothe recentBlair Witchtitle that launched in 2019, with similar mechanics driving the gameplay. Fans of puzzle heavy, psychological horror with an emphasis on adventuring through dark, mysterious spaces are sure to be excited to explore the Moravian forests inSomeday You’ll Return.
Considering the two-man studio’s previous releases, likeJ.U.L.I.A. Among the StarsandVampires: Guide Them to Safety!, the quality of the upcoming game’s adventure and puzzles are already spoken for. CBE Studios has so far been responsible for some fairly popular Steam releases, andSomeday You’ll Returnmay rise to a similar level, especially considering the intriguing nature of the"psychological horror"tag.
Someday You’ll Returnis set to release on April 14th, 2020 for PC, with a scheduled PS4 and Xbox One release planned for later in the year.
