You know that feeling you get when the decade in which you were born suddenly becomes fashionable again, and teens start wearing the sort of outfits that you are embarrassed to have ever worn? Well, in video games, the equivalent is watching indie game aesthetics go through 1-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit and now 32-bit phases, and we certainly aren't complaining.
Chasing Static is a 32-bit horror game set in North Wales, of all places, and is all about uncovering government conspiracies and scientific malpractice with nothing but a torch, a camera, and an FM radio that lets you listen to the voices of the dead.
There's currently a demo available on Steam, if you want to check it out ahead of the Q3 2021 release (late summer).

As a welsh person, I think that we need more games set in wales that aren't horror games with urban legends! Welsh myths are really cool!
Looks a lot better than I was expecting! I'm very intrigued. That's some MOOD.
Love the atmosphere. Give me a physical release and I will buy it!
@Jackpaza0508 how about a video game tie-in with Torchwood
@KateGray Ooh
Hmmm, that dead body pegged to a cross. That's not a good sign.🤔
I like playing dumb & pretending I don't know it's a horror game/movie, and like to call out the blatantly obvious bad signs like I wasn't expecting it. XD
32-bit? 🤔 Definitely not. I mean, it's not even close. The game looks cool, but c'mon, the graphics are at the level of Dreamcast at least.
Very cool. Hope it's good. Really like the 32 bit style.
This doesn't look like a 32 bit game at all, it looks like a combination of PS2 and PS3 assets/effects.
