Game of the Chosen: Is Czech horror reaching a new milestone of darkness?

 

I must admit that I was very pleased when the creators of Game of the Chosen contacted me and offered me the opportunity to try out their project before its official release. I had no idea about the project before, but after the first contact I felt that we were dealing with something really interesting - and honestly, the more I got to know the game, the more excited I became. In my opinion, the project is extremely ambitious and has the potential to become an important milestone in the field of Czech horror games.

 

The game is created by independent studio Thor Game Studios , which focuses on originality, atmosphere and elaborate stories. The Game of the Chosen project is proof that even a small team can create a game that can achieve world-class quality. The game is visually very good - the details of the environment, lights, shadows and effects look professional and create tension in every corner. The soundtrack is also great, which perfectly describes the atmosphere - even though it is beautiful and warm outside, I had goosebumps and a feeling of cold while playing.

 

Escape game in the world of darkness

 

Game of the Chosen

can be compared to classic escape rooms. It is a series of interactive escape rooms with a horror twist. Each level is a closed space full of puzzles, locks, traps and strange phenomena. Players are looking for keys, clues or objects that will help them uncover parts of the story and open new passages. At the same time, they are never completely safe - with each room the danger, tension and difficulty increase, jumpscare is not the only lurking danger.

 

The demo I had the chance to try out contains three levels with varying difficulty. The first level is a nice introduction – a kind of warm-up with logical puzzles and no real danger. But from the second level onwards, the atmosphere noticeably intensifies. The puzzles are more complex, the pressure on the player increases and there are moments when it is literally a matter of survival.

 

Technically, the game runs on the modern Unreal Engine 5.4 and will be available exclusively for PC for now. The developers also mention ray tracing support and optimization for various builds - on my device (AMD Ryzen 3900x, RTX 3070 and 32GB Ram), the demo ran without any problems.
