Release Date: cancelled
A side-scrolling adventure game by The Glory Society - the developers of Night in the Woods. We play as Twigs - a wandering cat forced to leave his home and find happiness elsewhere, during difficult times, in a hostile world.
Revenant Hill is a side-scrolling adventure game developed by an indie team The Glory Society, founded in 2019 by Bethany Hockenberry and Scott Benson, two out of three creators of Overland. The game was revealed during the PlayStation Showcase 2023 and it is due to release on Steam, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
The game is set in 1919, in Lower North. The game's protagonist is Twigs - a black, red-eyed cat. After the barn he used to call home burns down, he settles down in a wet log near an abandoned cemetery. Even here, however, he cannot find peace. When an own from a neighboring hill starts demanding rent, Twigs leaves to find happiness elsewhere.
Times are tough, making ends meet is difficult, while the world beyond the cemetary turns out to be much larger than the cat initially assumed. As if that wasn't enough, something big and dark casts a shadow over the towns, factories and forests Twigs es by.
Just like the developers' previous game, Revenant Hill revolves around exploration, interacting with NPCs and uncovering the secrets of the game's world. The game is heavily narrative, conversations with other characters influencing the course of the story.
Similarly to its predecessor, the artstyle of Revenant Hill is charming, yet disturbing. Both the characters and the beautiful locations are two-dimensional. The soundtrack was composed by Wren Farren.
