Thunderful and JUMPSHIP are excited to announce that their stunning sci-fi adventure, Somerville, launches today on PlayStation. The release of the much-anticipated soundtrack by artist Dominique Charpentier will be available for €9.99 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Steam, GoG and PC in the next few months, so look out for more information shortly.
In this narrative sci-fi adventure, you step into a world hit by an otherworldly invasion. Discover the intimate repercussions of large-scale conflict as you explore a rich and atmospheric world transformed by catastrophe on your way to making your family whole again. This will be JUMPSHIP’s first release since being acquired by Thunderful in November 2022.
Described as “the most beautiful game I’ve ever played” by VG247 and “a disconcerting masterpiece” by The Gamer, Somerville challenges you with solving a series of puzzles in an altered landscape affected by a strange alien sediment. With your protagonist discovering the ability to manipulate it in a variety of ways, Somerville keeps new ideas coming over the course of its atmospheric journey.
As you explore Jumpship Studio’s Somerville, the devastation left behind by the invading alien force and those who resisted will tell its own story without a word being spoken. The alien lifeforms from which you must flee or hide on this adventure might just provide clues to delve even deeper into the true meaning of this conflict and unlock multiple endings that help reveal the true significance of the strange events to which you bear witness.
“We’re excited for players to jump into the mysterious world of Somerville and experience the best version yet on PlayStation today,” said JUMPSHIP Studio Director Claire Boissiere. “We know that you have been patiently waiting for the Somerville original soundtrack by the incredible Dominique Charpentier so keep your eyes peeled for more information about that soon!”
