Frictional Games antyder nytt skräckprojekt genom mystisk ARG

Frictional Games, the acclaimed studio behind Amnesia and SOMA, has sparked excitement among fans with a cleverly hidden mystery. In late September, the developers released a patch for SOMA that secretly introduced an alternate reality game (ARG). The puzzle led players to a mysterious website for the fictional Samsara Hotel, packed with cryptic clues about the studio’s next project.

It didn’t take long for the community to crack the code. Fans soon uncovered a short teaser trailer on YouTube, offering the first glimpse at Frictional’s upcoming horror title. The teaser also revealed that the game will be published by Kepler Interactive, the company behind Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Rematch, and Pacific Drive. This partnership marks a major shift for Frictional, which has previously self-published all of its games.

In the video’s description, the developers expressed their gratitude to the community, admitting they hadn’t expected players to unravel the ARG so quickly. For now, however, the full reveal of the project remains shrouded in mystery.
