Our own Section8 presents a new project of his, a horror-themed RPG styled as a graphic novel!<blockquote><strong>What is Synaesthesia?</strong> It's a tl;dr word that makes for a cumbersome game title that will inevitably be colloquialised into something much shorter. Literally, it's a condition where your senses get their wires crossed, with effects ranging from perceiving letters or numbers as colours, to being able to taste or see music. It's a common theme throughout the game itself, and marries with the interface to form a numberless RPG, with colours and shapes taking their place.

So how best to talk about it? Answer questions nobody has even asked yet!

<strong>What is the game?</strong>
<br>
<br>
Synaesthesia is a horror-themed RPG focused on an ensemble cast and the evolution of a narrative created through the player's actions and the supporting cast's reactions. It's Lost meets Silent Hill, with thirteen strangers imprisoned inside a twisted nightmare world, and relying on each other to survive and possibly escape. The game is presented as a digital graphic novel, and focuses only on significant/enjoyable content, keeping downtime "out of frame"</blockquote>

The concept of a horror game featuring synaesthesia certainly has a big potential. Just consider hearing the tubgirl.

Great, I generally love the themes of "mystery" and "escape". The Cube, I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream, Saw 1, Dark City, OH GOD IT'S HEAVEN.

Sounds interesting, nice to see something wholly original popping up. I'm especially interested in the setting, theme and visual style. Looking forward to seeing the combat in action, too. Sounds intriguing.

Just consider hearing the tubgirl.
Just so long as I don't have to smell the Goatse.

May I add that the title is pure genius.
"Depths of Peril... who cares? The Witcher, boring. Eschalon: Book 1? Uninteresting. Synaesthesia? I have to check this out."

It's a pretentious word for comic.
