Psychological horror title Luto, announced in 2022 by Broken Bird Games, is out now on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 for $19.99. Developed with Unreal Engine 5 and one of many titles channeling Konami’s P.T., the plot revolves around the player suffering the loss of a loved one and being unable to leave their house.
While dealing with depression, you’ll discover various secrets and maybe even learn a few truths, though they may not be what you want to hear. There is some mild puzzle-solving, but similar to P.T., an entity hounds the player, seemingly preventing them from leaving. Development took longer than expected for Broken Bird Games, which noted every step to be a “challenge, but also a valuable learning experience,” due to effectively starting “from scratch.”
There were some last-minute challenges along the way, including a brief delay to the Xbox Series X/S version because of “certain inaccessible achievements” and a “lower-than-expected frame rate.” Thankfully, said issues were already fixed internally, and following validation, it’s now available on the Xbox Store.
