Precursor Games have confirmed that they want to bring their survival-horror title Shadow of the Eternals to the Wii U and PC. The game is being described as the "spritual successor" to the classic GameCube title Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requieum, and has a tentative release date of Q3 2014. Denis Dyack, who oversaw the creation of the GameCube exclusive, is reportedly the chief creative officer of Precursor Games. The company is trying to raise $1.5 million to make their project a reality, and due to the fact that they are located in Canada, the crowdfunding will not be held on Kickstarter as the platform requires participants to be based in the US or UK.
Shadow of the Eternals will follow an episodic structure, with a goal of 12 playable episodes based around various playable characters and consisting of roughly 2 to 4 hours of gameplay each. Here's the official description from Precursor Games themselves:
When Detective Paul Becker is called to
one of the bloodiest gang massacres in Louisiana state history, only two
survivors remain from a brutal conflict between two rival cults. As
Becker begins his interrogations of the suspects, their combined
recollections will uncover the truth about the ‘Eternals’.
Featuring an ensemble cast of heroes and
villains, Shadow of the Eternals will span over 2500 years of history
throughout Egypt, England, Hungary, and the United States. Players will
question the perception of reality as they try to balance the mechanics
of combat, magick, and sanity events to progress through the adventure.
Shadow of the Eternals will take players
on a memorable journey throughout time; weaving historical fact with
disturbing fiction to create an experience unlike any other.
IGN has obtained a teaser trailer for the project. You can watch it on their website here.
