One cult horror developer is back with a spiritual successor to the game that put them on the map almost two decades ago.

Agustin Cordes became a noted name in horror games, mainly because his 2006 debut Scratches was a spooky, plodding mystery that riffed on Myst to create some unforgettable scares, and partly because it was also the first commercial adventure game created in Argentina.
