After releasing a demo during the Future Games Show this past June on Steam, publisher SelectaPlay and developer Broken Bird Games will release a demo for PlayStation of their upcoming psychological horror title Luto. Arriving November 30th via the PlayStation Store, the demo, titled “The Choice”, is a stand-alone demo of Luto, giving fans the experience of the setting, atmosphere and narrative without revealing or spoiling details of the full game.
It’s not clear if the demo will be different from the Steam demo, which is still available for fans to check out.
In Luto, you play as a person who, pained by loss and the resulting mental anguish, is trapped in their own home. Finding a way to leave will result in a series of paths that will “challenge your senses.” That in turn involves exploring the pain caused by the loss of a loved one, the horror of the insecurity to the deepest darkness hidden behind anxiety and depression. That anxiety in Luto will, in turn, be explored by different phobias, including monophobia (fear of being alone), claustrophobia, agoraphobia, nyctophobia (fear of the dark) and more.
There’s still no definitive release date for Luto, which in addition to Steam and PlayStation 5, will also be headed to the Xbox Series.
