Prison Architect Creators Announce Scanner Sombre, Out This Week
Introversion Software, creators of games with simple, colorful graphics and deceptively simple systems like Prison Architect, Darwinina, and Uplink, have announced the title and surprise launch date of their next game, Scanner Sombre.
The studio's first dive into the first-person games, Scanner Sombre has you navigating dark caves populated only by a sea of dots which form spattered outlines of the environments you're navigating. Introversion likens the game to Gone Home, Proteus, and Firewatch, which should give you some clue as to the game's direction as a "cave exploration experience." The game hits this Wednesday, April 26, and you can watch its trippy trailer below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
