First-Person Survival Horror ‘Blood Hunting’ Comes to PlayStation August 28th [Trailer]

The long-awaited release of BlameTech’s first-person psychological horror game No Return is finally here. Or would be, as the review process for the final build is taking its time. Regardless, originally targeting a Fall 2022 release, No Return will be available soon on Steam, bringing with it a focus on elements of Chinese folklore to its story of family tragedy.

Touted as a “mind-shattering journey” that fuses fantasy with reality and taking inspiration from Silent Hill, No Return casts you as the protagonist. You return home one day to discover their once-familiar environment transformed into a “labyrinth of chilling echoes.” As you navigate this unsettling setting, fragmented memories surface, unveiling hidden tragedies and dark family secrets.

Gameplay in No Return has you navigating through your home, encountering strange puzzles that must be solved in order to progress through the hallways. The puzzles themselves blend traditional Chinese culture and folklore, “creating a distinctive Eastern horror atmosphere.”

The entire experience is wrapped up in a dreamcore surrealist aesthetic, where the immersive nature of the game, coupled with its high-quality environments and sound effects, makes it seem like you’re in a dream, but from one you can’t awaken.
