The lunatics behind the up and coming first person horror game Agony dropped an extended trailer on us earlier this week. This trailer is incredibly graphic but definitely illustrates the themes we expect from the game. Consequently the warning bumper before the video starts ISN’T A JOKE.

Hell never looked so spooky

Agony looks like Silent Hill, Doom, and The Forest were placed in a blender to create a psychologically damaging cocktail. The atmosphere feels dark and foreboding while evoking a feeling of isolation mixed with terror. As a lifelong horror fan I cannot wait to see what direction this all star development team has planned. Some of the graphics (the bloody, screaming woman with the long hair) seem a little lack luster at the moment. However this doesn’t stop this trailer from being the most metal thing I’ve seen this week. Being this early in development we will probably see improvements as the project progresses.

Gates of Hell arise from a AAA All-Star team

Madmind Studio’s website lists Agony as their only project but gives us a glimpse of AAA games talent working on the project.

Madmind Studio is a game development studio created in 2016 by Tomasz Dutkiewicz.

Our studio comprises veteran game developers, who have worked on numerous AAA titles, such as: The Division,

Witcher 3,

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2,

Alien Rage,

Enemy Front,

Real Boxing 2,

Godfire: Rise of the Prometheus and more. We are currently 9 developers determined to create best possible, visually stunning game with unique atmosphere.

Agony is set to rip out our souls and give us nightmares on PS4, XBOX One, and PC sometime in 2017.
