Holstin's Unique Camera System Offers a Fresh Perspective on Survival Horror | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Holstin was announced a little while back, but this showing from the recent Day of the Devs showcase caught our eye. This game is an indie survival horror with a retro presentation style and a seriously cool camera gimmick.

Set in 90s Poland, Holstin is a game that combines story, puzzles, and action as you deal with the nasty goings on and explore the world. The game's best trick, though, is how it changes perspective; most of the gameplay will be viewed from an isometric view, but when you're in combat and aim your weapon, it'll transition smoothly to a third-person, over-the-shoulder style, allowing you to deal with imminent threats up close and personal.

Inspired by Resident Evil and Silent Hill, it looks really interesting, but obviously, this one cool idea can't carry the whole experience. We're curious to see whether Holstin is able to provide a good story on top of its neat presentational ideas. It's coming to PlayStation when it launches, but we don't have a date just yet.

Having grown up alongside PlayStation, Stephen has developed an eclectic taste in video games and a wide knowledge of the medium, from small indie gems to the biggest AAA blockbusters. Ever hopeful that the Burnout series makes a miraculous return.

The asymmetric camera system has such a unique effect on space and environment in a game, specially a horror themed one. This looks very promissing. Also loved that they are going with their mother language for the dialogues between characters in the game.

I remember seeing this one this summer. Definitely has me interested.

Wow. Look amazing and beautiful. Horror game is my cup of tea. Definitely will keep an eye for
