'Song of Horror' Comes To PC Next Month - Screens

by Rainier on Aug. 8, 2019 @ 8:24 a.m. PDT

Song Of Horror is an episodic third-person psychological horror/adventure where you have to face The Presence, an unpredictable, eldritch entity that reacts to your way of playing.

To Whom It May Concern,

This letter is a call for help. A week ago, my ex-husband went to the house of the famous writer Mr Husher, looking for him after failing to find him by phone or other means. He never came back. After three days without any news from him, I pleaded to his manager to go find him. He never came back, either. Now I am here, alone, at the house, trying to find out what happened... Something is watching all of my movements. I'm scared for my life.

I can’t ask you to put your life at risk for us – but you are a journalist, so there is something you can do. Tell our story. 

Do not let us be forgotten.

Song of Horror is a psychological horror adventure that offers a truly dynamic terror experience: its antagonist, the supernatural entity known only as The Presence, is controlled by an advanced AI (Artificial Intelligence) that adapts to your actions and decisions. Experience unbearable fear as this otherworldly being responds to your way of playing and hunts you down in unexpected ways, offering a unique experience to every player and every gameplay where tension builds up naturally instead of coming from scripted sequences.

Choose between a group of unique characters that will help you unravel the mysteries of Song of Horror and try to put an end to its nameless nightmare. Every character is different, and brings their unique point of view to the investigation, allowing them to approach clues and items differently. Their actions and decisions will shape the world: some of them will know more or less of certain aspects of the story; some will be more effective against supernatural manifestations... But all of them can die if the Presence gets to them – and death is permanent in Song of Horror. If one of the characters die, you will have to pick the investigation up from where the deceased left it.


Raiser Games and Protocol Games are happy (and scared) to announce that Song of Horror will be released on PC (Steam) in September 2019, but no further details on the previously announced PS4 and Xbox One versions were provided.

The team behind the game has worked ceaselessly during the past five years to create the perfect mix of creative thrilling investigation, puzzle-solving, and strong narrative, following the steps of classic authors of the genre such as Edgar Allan Poe, M.R. James or H.P. Lovecraft. Besides, having The Presence eerily stalking you in every dark corner makes the perfect ingredient to create a haunting atmosphere that, even today, keeps spooking the developers out.

Key Features:

  • Investigate a paranormal mystery in a thrilling story of psychological terror
  • Beware the Presence, an eldritch entity with its own AI that reacts to your actions and decisions in a non-scripted horror experience
  • Choose between a group of unique characters: each character brings its own point of view and has a different relation to the story and other characters 
  • You may die, but the horror continues: death is permanent – when a character dies, it’s gone…
  • …but the next one will follow the investigation from where the deceased left it: the world will be shaped by their previous actions
  • Explore haunted, sinister locations to gather clues and items that will help you solve challenging puzzles while enduring the agonizing tension of the game's atmosphere

Song of Horror will debut on PC (Steam) in September 2019.
