The forests of eastern Czechia can hardly be called a usual place for a video game. But this is exactly where the horror adventure game “Someday You’ll Return” takes place.
Players take on the role of Daniel, whose daughter Stela has disappeared without a trace. Admittedly, it wasn’t the first time that Stella disappeared without a trace. But this time it is different: the search for his daughter forces Daniel to return to a place that gives him nightmares: the deep forests of Moravia, praised in many folk tales.
Herbalism and GPS navigation
«Someday You’ll Return» is played from the first person perspective and is reminiscent of games such as “Call of Cthulhu” or similar scary games. It is important to collect more clues to the whereabouts of the missing daughter by solving puzzles and combining objects. With the help of a herbal book, medicine and potions can be produced, a GPS device helps with orientation and also serves as a survival-essential flashlight.
A nameless horror
In the course of the game, protagonist Daniel slowly realizes: Not enough that his beloved daughter has been swallowed up by the earth: A nameless horror seems to be responsible for this. “Someday You’ll Return” faces fear, lies and conflicts – and thoughts about fatherhood itself.
And while players get to see a lot of blood and other things, the developers say they are also concerned with a different finding. The most obvious horror characters aren’t necessarily the worst monsters.
“Someday You’ll Return” appears for PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
