Independent Italian game developer Aion Interactive has revealed their own take on the merging of cosmic horror and immersive storytelling with Hyperarousal, a psychological horror game that is designed to “touch the hearts of players” with its gameplay. The announcement is accompanied by a teaser trailer that previews Hyperarousal‘s main gameplay mechanic, as well as showing off some gorgeous environments that quickly take a surreal and ominous turn.
Set in the landscapes of Val Camonica in Italy, Hyperarousal focuses on a man named Carlo who, overwhelmed by the frenzy of modern life, retreats to his family’s old mountain refuge. There, through his vivid dreams, he relives past eras connected to his ancestors, uncovering not only their stories but also fragments of his own soul.
Each dream features unique environments, inspired artistic direction, and diverse gameplay mechanics, forming a piece of the intricate mosaic that is the protagonist’s identity. The game makes use of what’s referred to as the Hyperarousal System, which was developed in collaboration with psychologists, and “translates emotions and choices into dynamics that directly impact the narrative,” offering a journey of personal discovery that reflects the human need to lose oneself to be found.
Currently, Hyperarousal is in development for PC, PlayStation and Xbox, with a 2027 release. At the moment, you can keep tabs on the development via Aion’s website.
