You hear some far-fetched tales about two worlds colliding at this college, inflicting some kind of drama, so that you and your brother break in.

After I performed the demo of RUMOUR at BCN Recreation Fest, I discovered the puzzles to be so attention-grabbing. Simply whenever you really feel such as you perceive them, you discover that they really are barely extra difficult you then suppose. It’s attention-grabbing, charming, and there are a number of twists and turns right here and there. I discovered all the factor to really feel tense, partially due to the unknown creatures and partially due to the lighting throughout the sport. It’s moody, creepy, and one thing that feels fairly distinctive.
RUMOUR is at present in improvement, however within the meantime you’ll be able to add it to your Steam Wishlist.
