Details

Overview

Tenebris Somnia is a survival horror adventure that wears its inspirations on its sleeve. Developed by Andrés Borghi and Saibot Studios, and published by New Blood Interactive, this title channels the tense, puzzle-driven dread of classic horror games like Silent Hill and Resident Evil, but wraps it in a deliberately retro 2D aesthetic reminiscent of the 8-bit and 16-bit era.

Released on October 16, 2026, it's a single-player experience that leans heavily into atmosphere and narrative.

Highlights

Retro 2D Horror: The pixel-art presentation evokes the golden age of 8- and 16-bit gaming, but the gameplay is firmly rooted in survival horror traditions—resource management, exploration, and combat against grotesque creatures.
Live-Action Cinematics: At key story moments, the game shifts perspective entirely, presenting live-action sequences filmed with real actors and practical effects by an award-winning Argentine film crew. This blend of pixel art and real footage is a bold stylistic choice that sets it apart.
Full Controller Support & Steam Features: The game supports full controller input, includes Steam Achievements and Trading Cards, and is available in multiple languages including English, Spanish (both Spain and Latin America), Japanese, and Brazilian Portuguese.

Who It's For

If you grew up on the original Resident Evil or Silent Hill and have a soft spot for pixel art, Tenebris Somnia is likely to hit that nostalgic nerve. It's also for players who appreciate experimental storytelling—the live-action cutscenes are not just a gimmick but a core part of the narrative delivery.

Those who prefer fast-paced action over methodical puzzle-solving might find the pacing slower, but the atmosphere and unique presentation make it worth a look for horror enthusiasts.
