'Skyhill: Black Mist' (ALL) Making Public Debut At Gamescom - New Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Aug. 14, 2019 @ 8:13 a.m. PDT

Skyhill: Black Mist is a rogue-like survival game where you explore the vast and varied locations of the haunted condominium, manage your depleting supplies and take part in stealth-oriented encounters.

In Skyhill: Black Mist players awake inside a huge and luxurious condominium built by Skyhill Inc., an omnipotent bio-tech corporation that controls every aspect of the entire city. As one Skyhill’s new employees, players will follow the game’s hero as he moves into the new apartment unaware of what is to come. Things quickly go terribly wrong and players will have to contend with the dark monsters and possessed cultists that have suddenly invaded mazelike corridors of the Skyhill complex as they search for the protagonist’s missing daughter. Players will have to survive in the labyrinth of hallways and avoid a threatening black mist which has turned humans into vile creatures.

In Skyhill: Black Mist players will explore the vast and varied locations of the haunted condominium, manage depleting supplies and take part in stealth-oriented encounters. Whether opting for brutal force, remaining unseen or by finding hidden passages to avoid obstacles, players will be able to choose how to overcome the difficulties they’re presented in Black Mist. Caution is key in Black Mist as enemies are extremely dangerous, the environment is unforgiving and even slightest mistake can result in a heavy cost. Skyhill: Black Mist presents players with a unique blend of stealth-action, survival and RPG genres set in modern dystopian world.


Skyhill: Black Mist is not your typical survival or horror game, it is much more story oriented. Hence the idea of live-action trailer to make it more human and emotional. We hear voices from terrified guests, minutes after someone or something takes over the building. It could have happened in the real world. And when hell breaks loose, our main hero starts his desperate run for survival. So, this movie is like an introduction to our story.”  Said Eugene Kisterev, Studio Head at Manadragora.

“We want to build a whole story around the game. That's why we’ve also plan several unique promo activities for Black Mist. It's the survival genre at its best but also heavily loaded with a touching plot.”  Added Lukasz Mach CMO at Klabater.

“Original Skyhill was a great sucess for us, but as a developer we’re always looking to raise the bar higher and explore new areas.” Said Eugene Kisterev. “Skyhill: Black Mist is a completely new opening for the series in terms of gameplay but is also much more story-driven than the original. We’re excited to have teamed up with Klabater because they are very story-focused publisher, most of their titles rely on touching stories and that is exactly what we wanted to do with Skyhill: Black Mist - to make a great survival game but also loaded with cool narration and real emotions.”

Skyhill: Black Mist will be showcased at Gamescom 2019 and attendees will get the chance to see the game in action with hands-on demo.
