The latest title from developer Serenity Forge is a cozy game with a psychological horror twist.
Calif. Introduced during Summer Game Fest as „Doki Doki Literature Club meets Silent Hill“, Fractured Blooms is an upcoming game that doesn’t fit in any one box—and that’s what makes it so intriguing. Developed by Serenity Forge, Fractured Blooms is unassuming and innocent upon first glance, but there’s a much darker core underneath. Its big reveal happened on Geoff Keighley’s program, but I explored the frights today at IGN Live.Dread Is a Flower in Bloom
In Fractured Blooms, you play as Angie, a girl stuck in a time loop. During my demo session, I walked her into a peaceful, albeit slightly rundown garden with the task of picking a tomato. The errands that followed included sowing and watering seeds in a garden before heading into the house to prepare dinner. It was all very cozy. However, as I continued the mundane tasks, I noticed Angie’s inner monologue growing weary. A feeling of unease crept, and dread dripped from every line she muttered.
Fractured Blooms is based on a true story, according to Zhengua Yang.
