Umurangi Generation dev gives surprise peek at new lo-fi horror FiveSeven
With things starting to get a little spooky as Halloween approaches, Origame Digital – the developer behind acclaimed photography adventure Umurangi Generation – has teased a brand-new horror game it’s calling FiveSeven.
FiveSeven made a sudden and unexpected appearance (as spotted in this Reddit thread) during a video on obscure horror games by Umuragi Generation composer ThorHighHeels, with the teaser dropped right into the middle of a section on Vampire Rain: Altered Species.
Beginning with a title reading The Last Train out of Narita, the 40 seconds or so of footage – which sports a similar lo-fi aesthetic to Umurangi Generation – focuses on a besuited protagonist, seemingly named Reegan. First we see them exploring a train, initially scurrying beneath its seats, before grabbing a revolver and facing off against a sinister shadow monster.
Before returning to Vampire Rain as if nothing had happen, some onscreen text confirmed FiveSeven – which has been briefly sighted in the wild once before – to be a new game from the creators of Umurangi Generation. And as for a release date, it “comes when done”.
