I’m a bit of a baby when it comes to horror. Don’t get me wrong, I love scary movies and videogames, but when someone starts moving like a contortionist and I can hear their joints popping, I’m outta there—that just freaks me out too much. Remothered: Red Nun’s Legacy’s new gameplay trailer lulled me into a false sense of security with a seductive voice over before bringing me crashing back down to earth with its clickity-clackity nuns—it’s most definitely a psychological horror.
Red Nun’s Legacy is the third game in the cult horror series, and we just got our first proper look at how it’ll actually play during the PC Gaming Show. It’s a third-person survival horror, so expect to sneak around chest-high furniture and throw household objects at spooky monstrosities bearing down on you.
The trailer focuses mainly on protagonist Susan running, hiding, and occasionally fighting out of a nun’s deathgrip. Just like the previous two entries in the trilogy, we’re back in Ashmann territory. This time, though, we’re on the slopes of Mount Etna, exploring a derelict noble residence that’s now home to the Red Nun herself. The dark corridors and old trinkets make for the perfect setting for a horror game that’ll have you solving puzzles while hiding from nuns like a misbehaving child at Sunday school.
In one of the sequences, we see Susan running down a hallway as a pregnant nun, clutching her belly, gives chase to the intruder. It adds a sense of body horror to the game that I’m excited to see once it releases later this year. Susan isn’t entirely helpless, though. We also see her wielding some sort of club and even stabbing one nun in the neck. I wonder how many Hail Marys she’ll have to do to atone for that.
