Rather than be inspired by the 2004 film by Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom, Frostwood Interactive’s upcoming Shutter Story and its photography-centric gameplay has more in common with Kiyoshi Kurosawa‘s Pulse. Coming soon to Steam, Shutter Story has players uncovering a family’s haunted history by revealing the horrors hidden in their photographs.
Also taking cues from Her Story, Mouthwashing, and Home Safety Hotline, when your best friend Eli insists his family is being haunted, you dismiss it – until he shows you the photos. Now he needs to convince his parents, and as a burgeoning photo editor, that’s where you come in. Armed with the photo and video analysis software SpectralAware
2.1, you must tweak exposure settings and work with a variety of filters to reveal the horrors hiding in these photos.
To do so, you’ll need to consult an exhaustive manual detailing every type of anomaly to classify your observations in the right categories. You’ll need to be smart about it, as Eli’s family’s fate depends on how well you do your job. Between your desktop investigations, you’ll explore Eli’s house from a first-person perspective as the horror begins to unfold around you. As you piece together the family history, you’ll learn the true reason behind the hauntings – inherited and passed down through generations.
