Developer Jumpship Studio has partnered with publisher Thunderful Games to bring Somerville to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 later this month, on August 31st. This sci-fi adventure game, created by the masterminds behind the critically acclaimed puzzle-platform titles ‘LIMBO‘ and ‘Inside,’ originally made its debut on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in November 2022.
In Somerville, players will embark on a journey to find the whereabouts of their family separated in the final moments of a global conflict against a hostile alien civilization. The immersive experience allows players to witness the full impact of this catastrophic event.
As players explore the desolate landscapes left in the wake of the invading alien force and those who resisted, players will gain deeper insights into the motives and methods of these hostile beings. Somerville introduces an altered landscape drenched in alien sediment with intricate puzzles that will challenge players’ wits and dangerous encounters that will demand strategic actions. Whether they choose to evade, negotiate, or study the alien entities, every decision will shape the outcome of the game, leading to multiple possible endings that promise to leave players contemplating its profound meaning.
Since its initial release on Xbox consoles and PC, Somerville has garnered mixed reviews from players and critics alike. While some expected the game to reach the same heights as LIMBO and Inside, others appreciate the unique experience it offers, introducing a fresh and straightforward gameplay approach and challenging puzzles that keep players engaged. The game boasts cinematic visuals, immersing players in an atmospheric world brought to life by stunning animations and an impressive soundtrack that further enhances the experience.
For eager fans who want to be notified as soon as Somerville is released, the game is now available for wishlist on the PlayStation store.
