The Resident Evil franchise has inspired many other titles, and an upcoming Steam game looks like a great one to watch. The series' unique brand of both psychological and physical horror makes it the perfect blend of scares and thrills, and many games have tried to replicate the feel.
The best horror titles take elements of the classics and transform them into something new and exciting. One upcoming Steam game has taken the action and tense atmosphere of Resident Evil and combined it with the creepy, mysterious air of cult classic series Twin Peaks. The result looks like it will be a tense, claustrophobic game when it releases.
The upcoming game is called The Pines, and it's available to wishlist right now on Steam. The Pines is the debut project of Studio Abattoir, a dev studio from the Netherlands led by a single developer. The solo dev project looks stunning, with beautifully detailed, photorealistic visuals.
The Pines follows former detective Edward Walker, who heads to a secluded retreat for a little R&R. The Pines is supposed to be a quiet, calming spot with therapists on site—the perfect place to recover from work and life exhaustion.
But old habits are hard...
