Psychological horror Someday You’ll Return launches April 14

Today, CBE Software is pleased to announce that Someday You’ll Return, their narrative-driven game of psychological horror, will launch on April 14, 2020 for Windows PC. Xbox and PlayStation versions are scheduled for development later this year.

To celebrate the announcement of their PC release date, the team at CBE Software is releasing a chilling new trailer showing off gameplay as well as hints of the horrors you’ll encounter as you search for your missing daughter in Someday You’ll Return.

Someday You’ll Return takes place in scenic areas of the Czech Republic, with well known landmarks to capture the atmosphere of its Bohemian nature. Using a typical Czech forest setting, which is different from Scandinavian or American forests, creates a unique mood for players. The referenced locations and mythos in the game are ancient with some of the tales in Someday You’ll Return dating back to the 9th century.

In Game Mechanics:

  • Crafting
  • Herbalism
  • Smartphone interactions
  • Karmic system (your actions have consequences which can influence the story’s ending)
  • Climbing
  • Tracking
  • Stealth

Someday You’ll Return is a narrative-driven psychological horror game with intimate concepts of fatherhood, fears, lies and refusal to accept one’s past. You play Daniel, father of Stela, your runaway daughter. While trying to find her, you’re forced by events to return to a place that you swore never return to, the ancient Moravian forests.

While the story contains strong horror elements it’s not always the most obvious monsters that are the most frightening. While your survival skills and quick wits may advance your search, malevolent forces rise up against you keeping you and Stela apart. As your search leads deep into both the woods and your mind, it reveals secrets that should have stayed buried. Where are you, Stela?

I've been an avid gamer since I stumbled upon ZORK running in my local Radio Shack in 1980. Ten years later I was working for Sierra Online. Since then I've owned nearly every game system and most of the games to go with them. Not sure if 40+ years of gaming qualifies me to write reviews, but I do it anyway.
