Wronged Us turned heads when its gameplay trailer was shown off at the Golden Joystick Awards, with many intrigued by the open world game and its premise. Further details on Wronged Us and everything it entails are fairly hard to come by, but the developer's website has offered a little more insight into what horror fans can expect from the game when it finally launches in 2023.
According to the site, Wronged Us is going to be a "cinematic story driven game" that will have players explore a small but detailed town. Along the way, Wronged Us players will be subjected to psychological horrors and monsters that they will have to fight off. The Wronged Us gameplay trailer showed a handful of the threats that the player will run into during the course of the game, like a creepy, abnormally tall man and some kind of monster that crawls on the walls.
Some horror games leave players with nothing to defend themselves, but that won't be the case for Wronged Us. Fans shouldn't expect an over-the-top shoot 'em up by any means, but the Wronged Us gameplay trailer does show the player character using a shotgun against the monsters. The combat looks similar to classic survival-horror games, which makes sense as the game is taking direct inspiration from games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill.
Wronged Us is taking inspiration from more than just survival-horror icons like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, though. According to the game's official site, another big inspiration for it is none other than FromSoftware's Dark Souls franchise. Specifically, Wronged Us is taking cues from Dark Souls when it comes to its world design and the quests that players get from NPCs. Wronged Us will not have a UI that tells players where to go, so like the Dark Souls series, the game will not be holding players' hands.
As one might imagine, a psychological horror game inspired by Dark Souls, Resident Evil, and Silent Hill is going to be pretty dark, and so the develolpers are expecting a PEGI 18 or M for Mature rating. Wronged Us will have "violence and gore," so when it comes out in 2023, it's virtually guaranteed to get one of those ratings from the ratings boards.
Wronged Us monster designs and the game's eerie atmosphere have caught the attention of horror game fans, and it will be interesting to see how the final product turns out.
Wronged Us will launch in 2023.
