INDIES HIGHLIGHTS COMING TO PS4 & PS5 IN OCTOBER 2022

Creepouts and critters abound in October's cute and/or spooky indie highlights!

Heidi Kemps PlayStation Blog Correspondent

It’s October, and you know what that means–freaks and frights are abounding!
There’s no better time to dive deep into some wildly experimental and stylish
survival horror than the Halloween spooky season, and this month’s PlayStation
Indies delivers on that front. As for the “freaks”–well, we’ve got a gaggle of
very strange creatures and some beastly brawlers straight outta the barnyard.
Oh, and a geometric object so terrifying it makes alien apex predators tremble
in fear. Let’s take a look at what you can look forward to on PS4 and PS5 this
month.




THE ETERNAL CYLINDER 

The imaginative minds at developer ACE Team (Rock of Ages, Zeno Clash, Abyss
Odyssey) have returned with an otherworldly adventure. A majestic planet exists
far away in the universe, teeming with strange lifeforms all struggling for
survival. Yet even in this harsh environment, one threat looms above all others:
the crushing, destructive might of the Cylinder. 

You take control of a Trebhum, an odd pack-traveling creature blessed with the
power to transform and adapt to environments by eating. Explore four beautiful
alien biomes–savannah, tundra, desert, and a freaky mutated infected sector–all
while metamorphosing your herd of Trebhums to react to the dangers posed by the
environments and other creatures. Grow extra legs to build your stamina,
extendable eyes to get a better view of your surroundings, and bloat up your
body for extra inventory space. Explore, evolve, and discover the Cylinder’s
secrets before it destroys everything.

Release Date: October 13 | Publisher: Good Shepherd | PS5

THEM’S FIGHTIN’ HERDS

Small, cute animals bring big-time rompin’, stompin’ action in this unorthodox
one-on-one fighting game from Mane6. Made by and for fans of the genre, Them’s
Fightin’ Herds is a beautifully animated, humor-filled critter combat game
featuring character designs from acclaimed animation producer Lauren Faust.
These fuzzy, scaly fighters might run on four legs, but they’ve got just as many
slick fighting skills as their human counterparts, bolstered by magic energy
that can be used for movement and offense skills that are unique to each
character. If beating down the barn doors with your local buddies isn’t enough,
you can battle hoof-to-claw with friends both on and offline, thanks to smooth
rollback netcode. 

Release Date: October 18 | Publisher: Modus Games | PS4, PS5

SATURNALIA 

Some historians theorize that the customs of the Roman holiday Saturnalia were
absorbed into the Christmas holidays. But in the case of Saturnalia, a game from
the acclaimed Italian indie studio Santa Ragione, Halloween is a far more
appropriate season because this survival-horror roguelite is anything but
festive. 

You’ll travel to Sardinia, an island off Italy’s coast and home to the village
of Gravoi, where a strange ritual takes place every winter solstice. As you take
control of four different characters, you’ll explore disconcerting corridors and
terrifying, twisting passages as you struggle to keep the ever-encroaching
darkness from consuming you. 

Saturnalia’s stunning and unique graphics, which blend bright colors with
high-contrast pencil shading, perfectly enhance the disjointed, otherworldly
atmosphere. The winding, maze-like structure of Gravoi also changes completely
with every playthrough, giving a fresh set of scares every time you play. 

Release Date: October 27 | Publisher: Santa Ragione | PS5, PS4

SIGNALIS

In the far-flung future at the edge of space, a ship crash-lands on a cold,
barren planet. As the android technician Elster seeks out her missing crewmate,
she discovers what appears to be an abandoned “reeducation” camp. As terrifying
visions and unfamiliar memories flash through her mind, the answers to her many
questions lie in strange radio transmissions. They point to something mysterious
deep below the planet’s surface that Elster must journey to discover. 

Signalis combines tense, terrifying survival horror combat and resource
management with a blend of 3D polygons with 2D sprites that creates a unique,
exceptionally detailed pixel-art look. Explore the planet’s moody, surreal
environments in a top-down perspective as you piece together the twisting
psychological thriller story. Can you overcome both seen and unseen malevolent
forces long enough to reach the stunning conclusion?

Release Date: October 27 | Publisher: Humble Games | PS4
