Yesterday's 11 bit Studios Teaser Explained; Here's South of the Circle
11 bit studios didn't keep us in suspense for long. The game teased yesterday is South of the Circle. What's interesting, the company will serve only as the publisher, and the game itself is being developed by State of Play - winners of the BAFTA award.
After yesterday's Lumino City. The latter received a BAFTA award for artistic achievement.
South of the Circle is scheduled to launch on PC, PS4, PS5, XOne, XSX/S and Switch "soon". From the game's description on Steam we know that its most important element will be:
"The main plot asks questions about the consequences of life choices, of pursuing either career or true love, manoeuvring between now and the past. You play Peter, a Cambridge academic who crashlands in Cold War Antarctica. As he searches for help, his past unwinds before him, revealing how the pressures of power and his own aspirations have led him into this crisis he must somehow escape. A love story between him and fellow academic Clara develops, and Peter learns the weight of all the things he has promised. Like memories from childhood, some promises stay with us forever."
In addition to a gripping - at least on paper - story full of emotional choices, realistic voice acting, we can expect a distinctive visual style, and an interesting story background that draws handfuls from the Cold War era.
