ProbablyMonsters, the studio founded by former Bungie CEO Harold Ryan, has unveiled their latest project—Ire: A Prologue, a spine-chilling first-person horror adventure. Set to release on Steam and the Epic Games Store, this atmospheric thriller appears poised to deliver the same unnerving tension that made Hideo Kojima's PT a genre-defining masterpiece.

For those unfamiliar, PT served as a revolutionary playable teaser for the canceled Silent Hills project. Its nightmarish looping hallway and psychological terror redefined horror gaming, leaving an indelible mark on the genre. While Silent Hills was ultimately scrapped, its influence persists—evident in Ire: A Prologue's haunting atmosphere and innovative gameplay mechanics, though with fresh narrative twists.

Set in 1986 aboard a vessel lost in the Bermuda Triangle, Ire: A Prologue follows Emily, a teenage girl trapped on the haunted ship. Players must navigate 13 ominous doors while evading a relentless supernatural entity. Drawing inspiration from 80s and 90s horror classics, the game aims to kickstart a new franchise—with its October 28 release on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) perfectly timed for Halloween scares.

Beyond its first-person perspective—a hallmark of immersive horror experiences—Ire: A Prologue echoes PT's looping structure and teaser format. Its subtitle, "Prologue," hints at a larger universe, with future installments planned to expand the lore and introduce new monstrosities—contingent on this debut's success.

Early glimpses of Ire: A Prologue showcase its potential to terrify. As one of ProbablyMonsters' inaugural titles—alongside a co-op Switch game—it represents an exciting new direction for the studio. Horror enthusiasts should mark their calendars for October's double dose of dread.
