Could be a Haven/Firewalk/Devation collaboration where they are fully funded by Sony.

I've found a new 3D first-person single-player narrative horror game in development coming to PS5/PC, currently aiming for 2023.

It has a few well known names involved such as Jessica Curry and William Pugh. Seems to be a team of around 10-15 people.

I suspect its a partnered indie game similar to Kena/Stray, etc as they had a job listing last year mentioning a "major partner", and in a very recent job listing it says they are now fully funded as a Sony PlayStation Partner.

So, they're called Swizzle Kiss?

I don't know the other names but I'm interested in Jessica Curry's involvement as I loved the soundtrack to Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Will look forward to hearing more from them.

For someone not familiar with Crows Crows Crows, did they lose a bunch of talent recently?

Sony shouldn`t support more horror, they aleady have Jim Ryan.

Narrator: When James got to a set of two unspeakable monsters, he shot the one on his left.

So is this an Xdev project or an indie Sony deal similar to Kena?
