The Occultist: Psychological Horror Game Launches Tomorrow on PC and Consoles

The Occultist, a game developed by DALOAR Studios (formerly Pentakill Studios), has been a topic of discussion for over four years. Originally conceived as a multimedia experience encompassing both a video game and a film, the project has undergone significant evolution, garnering attention and praise despite several delays. This long wait is finally coming to an end.

On April 8th, The Occultist will be released on PC and consoles, promising a complete immersion into psychological horror. To mark this long-awaited launch, a particularly chilling trailer has been unveiled. Players will step into the shoes of Alan Rebels, a character tormented by a mysterious connection to the afterlife and unable to escape the haunting memories within the town of Godstone. A notable detail for fans: Alan’s voice is provided by Doug Cockle, the iconic voice actor for Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

This profound and unsettling mystery offers an invitation to explore for those not faint of heart.
