It's a while since we heard about the first-person shooter adventure game with a complicated story - Atomic Heart. However, yesterday, the developer Mundfish has released a new cinematic trailer, which makes the game even' more ... complicated!
After seeing the whole trailer, I must ask myself: "what in tarnation was that about?" Here's the video, in case you are doubting me:
What's in this trailer
The new cinematic trailer of Atomic Heart starts as two scientists sitting on their chair and having a little conversation. The trailer also shows us around, give viewers a better view at the uber-futuristic world. There are robots, holograms, flying machines, and many advanced technical inventions.
The scientists are exchanging information about their random thoughts from their previous memories. One expresses his love for the dark, as he demonstrates how his brother needs light in the room in order to sleep. He said he's disturbed of light, as it imprisons his imagination, and he thinks that creatures are only themselves when darkness reigns.
"Do you see what I mean?" - one scientist says. "More or less" - the other answers. Hell no, boys, it's definitely less for me.
At this moment, there's no way that we can find out who are these two scientists and what they are talking about. Hence, we should spend time on the more useful things - the in-game visuals. We've already seen some of the modern technology airing in the 10-minute gameplay trailer back in January, which makes this reveal doesn't matter that much.
You can see that demo below, but I've to warn you that there will be a lot of gross images with the rabid killer robots, and even more than that. Watch it at your own risk:
