What will the perfect summer bring to you after you encounter a vampire? Find out in Varney Lake, coming out next month.
Indie developer LCB Game Studio and publisher Chorus Worldwide revealed they are set to release Varney Lake for PC and all three major consoles next month. The game serves as a follow-up to the cool “pixel pulp” visual novel Mothmen 1966, as you are given another paranormal story that you’ll get to read and follow along with in a sort of choose-your-own-adventure setting. The story was created by novelist Nico Saraintaris and artist Fernando Martinez Ruppel, as they have taken to making intriguing stories and transforming them into a compelling video game with a gripping story that you get to play out. All of which has been inspired by mid-20th century pulp fiction and illustrated in the classic 80s PC-inspired graphics. We got more info on the game for you below, as well as the latest trailer for you to enjoy, as the game will be released on April 28th, 2023.
