Developer Maboroshi Artworks and publisher Entalto Publishing have announced Sombras: negative frames, a first-person light-horror narrative game inspired by the Fatal Frame series that features photography-based mechanics. It follows a student who is spirited away and must confront her repressed terrors. The game was announced for PC and “all” consoles, which I take to mean PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch (maybe Switch 2?), and Xbox Series.
The nostalgic narrative game features light horror elements and an engaging photography system. It explores themes of youth, art, mixed identity, and dysfunctional families. Shiomi Alterio is a Japanese-Spanish photography student who lives with her father in a quaint Japanese town. They recently moved there from Europe after Shiomi’s parents divorced.
One night, a dark dimension engulfs Shiomi. It is made of familiar streets, hungry shadows, and a cast of girls who look just like her. Shiomi will take photos of unusual sights, surviving unsettling encounters, and reuniting every fragment of her broken self. This means befriending herself, being chased by repressed terrors, collecting occult trinkets, and unlocking the strange doors blocking the path forward.
