Lorelei and the Laser Eyes – the atmospheric new puzzle adventure from Simogo, perhaps best known as the extraordinarily talented team behind 2019’s glorious Sayonara Wild Hearts – finally has a release date and is launching for Switch and Steam on 16th May.
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, if you’re unfamiliar, delivers a baroque blend of surreal mystery thriller and puzzle adventure – faintly bringing to mind the studio’s iOS classic Device 6 – that’s follows a woman’s search for answers, deep in a strange manor house.
As Simogo explained to Eurogamer last year, Lorelei features non-linear, third-person exploration built around 150 puzzles – many unfolding differently each playthrough – with players also able to interact with characters and tinkerable objects, from locks and cameras to computers and books, on their quest for truth. Oh, and there’ll be a “lot of reading” too.
