'The Works of Mercy' Set For Launch In June - Trailer

The Works of Mercy is a deeply disturbing psychological thriller in which a protagonist is forced to do the killing.

Inspired by the classics of the genre like Roman Polanski's Repulsion, The Tenant and Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, The Works of Mercy's plot revolves around mysterious killings committed on seemingly random victims. Only this time it's the player who becomes the murderer.

The Works of Mercy tells a story of a personal tragedy and wrecked psyche. When a cryptic tormentor forces the protagonist to kill people in order to save his family, the game's hero (and the player) is posed with a series of dramatic questions. Who is the tormentor? Why is he so vengeful toward the protagonist's family? How far do you have to go to satisfy him? How can you justify the killing in the sake of saving someone's life? And how will you cope with the sense of guilt?

The Works of Mercy takes place in a photo realistic world as immersive as the real one. It lets the player get the very feel of roaming through murky locations and delve into the hero's mind which is put to a serious trial. The game enables you to explore a fully interactive environment featuring the best elements of such games as "Gone Home" or "P.T."

The Works of Mercy will leave the gamers with a lasting impression and face them with the question: how much could I sacrifice for my family? It will take the players through a dark world which gradually dissolves to an increasingly surreal vision of the protagonist's mind captured in a lethal trap.

The Works Of Mercy is coming to PC (Steam) on 7th June!
