As someone who likes things like myths, folklore and mythical creature this game really sound intreasting. Also I love that the monster she is trying to find in that trailer is an actualy cryptid.

[@ragereview]

Right!? It has the right direction, now we have to see if they can make interesting gameplay. My tiktok vid got like a million views and ppl really dive into the cryptids on there!

[@castbet9183]

I’m genuinely curious what kind of folklore that’ll be explored

[@Dil498]

@@castbet9183 I would guess New Orleans/Voodoo

[@garrettviewegh9028]

Same! It’s primarily why I like the culture and history of the South. Especially New Orleans. The Blues, Jazz, and Swing, all reflect this soulful, ethereal ambience of the Louisiana too.

[@gomeettupoc50cent]

Hard pass since they hired sweet baby inc.! They will not get a dollar from me!

[@DieDevDie]

i love the deep south setting, I cant wait to see what compulsion will do with this new ip. great video Rage!

[@ragereview]

Ya its definitely peaked my interest! Its a really great idea for a game! now lets see if they follow through and create something special! Thanks for the comment bud!

[@AnvilPictures]

The character of Shakin Bones is inspired by the legend of Robert Johnson, the famous real life blues/country singer who presumably made a deal with the Devil at the crossroads. All the monsters and characters in the game are going to be from American folklore from the Deep South.

[@DSi381]

I saw this trailer a long while ago and am just now realizing that Shakin Bones is a giant compared to Hazel.

[@CyanColor]

They got them old blues in it that's good enough for me. I love the old delta style blues and blues like that from back then

[@garrettviewegh9028]

Same. The soulful sound of the Blues, Jazz, Ragtime, and Swing, really reflects the mystic spirit of the Deep South. Especially places like New Olreans. Said to be one of the most haunted cities in the West, if not the world. Really emphasizes that soulful, colorful ambiance the city is known for down south.

[@Jman16333]

I can’t wait for this

[@ragereview]

Same! Hopefully they can actually release the game in 2024!

[@qh_ent]

If I’m not mistaken, for the scene of the dead guy playing the guitar are accurate to the song, I like how they pay attention to minor detail like that

[@honey_bee7923]

Ughhhhh please let this eventually come out on PlayStation

[@ragereview]

Hate to have to tell you this but this is an xbox owned studio so the likelihood of it ever coming to playstation is very very low :(

[@Echoesoftimelover]

WHAT ABOUT GAMEPLAY!!!!! For fucks sake

[@ragereview]

Its in very early development.

[@Witchy_Hoo]

The gameplay focuses on a “weaving” mechanic used by Hazel that’s essentially using magic in combat, I assume this encompasses crafting and moving around objects, maybe even doing some crazier stuff to enemies with it. Apparently weaving is also used as the method of transport for getting to different areas long distance? Either way it’s a pretty versatile type of magic that’s not exclusive to combat.

[@ragereview]

Thanks for giving us some more info! 🥰@@Witchy_Hoo

[@PelafinaLievre]

I’m going to be really annoyed if they call what she’s doing here weaving. That’s spinning. She’s using a drop spindle and has a distaff on her back. Weaving is looms.

[@michaelk9279]

How does making the main character black ruin the game? It's a game about Louisianan folklore and voodoo type shit. It honestly makes more sense to have a black MC. In the same way that it makes more sense to have a white main character in a game about medieval England
