Wronged Usturned heads when its gameplay trailer was shown off at the Golden Joystick Awards, with many intrigued by the open world game and its premise. Further details onWronged Usand everything it entails are fairly hard to come by, but the developer’s website has offered a little more insight into what horror fans can expect from the game when it finally launches in 2023.
According to the site,Wronged Usis going to be a “cinematic story driven game” that will have players explore a small but detailed town. Along the way,Wronged Usplayers will be subjected to psychological horrors and monsters that they will have to fight off. TheWronged Usgameplay trailershowed a handful of the threats that the player will run into during the course of the game, like a creepy, abnormally tall man and some kind of monster that crawls on the walls.

Some horror games leave players with nothing to defend themselves, but that won’t be the case forWronged Us. Fans shouldn’t expect an over-the-top shoot ‘em up by any means, but theWronged Usgameplay trailer does show the player character using a shotgun against the monsters. The combat looks similar to classic survival-horror games, which makes sense as the game is taking direct inspiration fromgames likeResident EvilandSilent Hill.
Wronged Usis taking inspiration from more than just survival-horror icons likeResident EvilandSilent Hill, though. According to the game’s official site, another big inspiration for it is none other than FromSoftware’sDark Soulsfranchise. Specifically,Wronged Usis taking cues fromDark Soulswhen it comes to its world design and the quests that players get from NPCs.Wronged Uswill not have a UI that tells players where to go, so like theDark Soulsseries, the game will not be holding players’ hands.
As one might imagine, a psychological horror game inspired byDark Souls,Resident Evil, andSilent Hillis going to be pretty dark, and so the develolpers are expecting a PEGI 18 or M for Mature rating.Wronged Uswill have “violence and gore,” so when it comes out in 2023, it’s virtually guaranteed to get one of those ratings from the ratings boards.
Wronged Usmonster designsand the game’s eerie atmosphere have caught the attention of horror game fans, and it will be interesting to see how the final product turns out.
