Merge Games and Painted Black Games, a Ukranian / Russian indie game developer, announced the forthcoming release of The Long Reach. The Long Reach is set for digital release on PC, PlayStation4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on Wednesday March 14, 2018 – all versions priced at (£12.99, €14.99, $14.99).
Check out the teaser trailer of The Long Reach, featuring some gameplay footage:
“At its heart it’s an adventure game but closer inspection also reveals it’s a thrilling horror story, flavoured with sci-fi ideology, psychological context and a sceptical view on the human psyche.
The Long Reach takes place in New Hampshire, in the fictional town of Baervox. The game draws its inspiration from Lone Survivor and The Cave and all the classical adventures (except that The Long Reach is set in the present day). You don’t play in a post-apocalyptic world or explore a fairy-filled fantasy world. You’re in the thick of it, just around the corner from the place where you buy your groceries.
