Our take on Seclusion
Its focus on dread, resource management, and avoidance leaves less room for direct combat or relaxed sightseeing. The delayed multiplayer and Explorer Mode also restrict the available play modes to the features currently offered.
What is Seclusion?
Seclusion is a psychological horror game set in surreal environments inspired by the backrooms and liminal spaces.
Exploration involves navigating eerie locations, solving puzzles that block progress, managing resources, and avoiding lurking entities. Clues gradually reveal the twisted history of the world and its themes of trauma, sorrow, guilt, and fear. The game focuses on adapting to changing obstacles, staying ahead of entities, and assembling the mystery behind the setting. The vendor describes Explorer Mode and multiplayer as delayed and not yet available. Planned multiplayer play is described as supporting up to 5 players, with cooperative survival and proximity voice chat.
