Tenebris Somnia launches October 16 across PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Switch, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S. The retro survival-horror title combines '90s-inspired 2D pixel art with jarring live-action cutscenes directed by Andrés Borghi, known for his visual effects work on the acclaimed horror film When Evil Lurks.

Players control Julia, a young Argentine woman trapped in a nightmare world filled with vicious monsters. She must fight, flee, solve puzzles, and manage consumables to escape. The game draws inspiration from survival-horror classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill while maintaining its own identity through the contrasting visual approaches.

Borghi directs the live-action sequences alongside indie team Saibot Studios, with Airdorf (Mason Smith) serving as executive producer. Airdorf created the Faith: The Unholy Trinity series, bringing retro-horror expertise to the project. New Blood Interactive facilitated the collaboration between the two creators after discovering their mutual admiration for each other's work.

Early trailers and Steam demo footage show both visual styles working effectively together. The pixel art remains vibrant and detailed, while live-action scenes deliver visceral horror rather than camp. Tenebris Somnia arrives just in time for Halloween, offering a unique take on the survival horror genre that leverages both gaming and cinematic expertise.
