Like grown-up Inside, but with a dog
The next game from the co-creator ofInsideandLimbois coming next year, Microsoft announced today during their Xbox and Bethesda Games E3 Showcase.Somervillewas first announced three years ago with a very small teaser trailer, but today’s melancholic gameplay montage finally gives us a glimpse of what we can expect when it arrives in 2022. And from the looks of things, it’s got big Inside vibes.
Like Inside and Limbo before it, Somerville will see you traverse haunting landscapes in 2D, invariably trying to get from one side of the screen to another as you flee from giant laser beams, crumbling ruins and other hostile characters you meet along the way. The trailer starts with you and your family slumbering in front of the TV, but things quickly take a turn for the worse as some veryArrival-style monolithssuddenly appear in the sky and chaos starts to rain down from on high.

In any case, I can’t wait to play it when it arrives next year. There’s still no firm release date other than 2022 at the moment, but consider me very, very excited.
