War of the Worlds meets indie survival with Limbo creator’s ‘Somerville’

Co-Founder of Playdead studios, creators of popular gloomy indie platformers Limbo and Inside, Dino Patti, collaborated with UK animator Chris Olson to found the new games studio JUMPSHIP, who are releasing this week their inaugural title Somerville. Somerville is a game similar to fans of Limbo and Inside, chronicling one man’s attempts to rejoin his family after an alien invasion.

Immerse yourself in a hand-crafted narrative experience set across a vivid rural landscape. Navigate your way through the perilous terrain ahead of you to unravel the mysteries of Earth’s visitors.

Judging from the trailers and images on offer, gamers can enjoy more melancholic gameplay through a hostile, frightening world. Hopefully this time there’ll be a happy (or at least intelligible) ending.

Somerville is out now on Steam and Epic Games.
