Her Story and Immortality developer Sam Barlow has unveiled his latest venture, a sci-fi horror game titled Precognition. Set to launch in spring 2028 under Kinetic's new publishing label, Precognition is part of Half Mermaid's debut game lineup. The game revolves around Diana, a former child prodigy with an experimental implant that grants her the ability to foresee her future.
As players, we observe Diana's visions and have the power to commit specific moments to memory, thereby altering her future. The twist lies in the butterfly effect - each decision changes the outcome, creating an inventory of alternate futures. Directed by horror filmmaker Brandon Cronenberg, known for Infinity Pool, Possessor, and Antiviral, Precognition promises a unique gaming experience.
Barlow highlights Diana's photographic memory and malleable brain, which makes her uniquely suited for this experimental implant. As players, we're tasked with deciphering the visions, choosing pivotal moments, and using this power to navigate Diana's future. The game offers a high degree of freedom, allowing us to sculpt our own path and potentially uncover surprising truths.
