'Song Of Horror' (ALL) Gets PS4 Deluxe Boxed Edition In Europe - Screens & Trailer

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 13 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.


Song Of Horror will be available as a special physical boxed edition on PS4 in Europe, published and distributed by Meridiem Games, later this summer.

This boxed Deluxe Edition will include a special artwork sleeve, a map where players can note clues they find during the game and a character guide, explaining their abilities and relationship to the story.

Every episode will offer new, unpredictable spooky situations that will scare players. The first episode will be located at the scary Husher mansion. But for the second one we will travel to at a haunted building with a particularly horrifying antique shop. Do you fondly remember your school days? That's about to change when the third chapters brings you to a cursed college building. An abandoned abbey, surrounded by a deadly halo after a creepy concert, is the location of the fourth chapter but the one that really gets me is that mental institution where you will face the ultimate challenge.

Players can expect around 20 hours of gameplay plus 13 playable characters and should be aware that the story will have a prologue and an epilogue, each one of them located in the first and last episode.
