Remember when Bloober Team began the year with a mysterious countdown website, teasing reveal on February 15th? “RemosdNeulSerorehsoOvamCeyerd.com,” which still rolls off the tongue, also has some new text and a voiceover to further add to the mystery.
The text states, “Some things never leave the walls. They only learn to wait.” Pressing the play button will reveal some scratchy audio, followed by a man reciting lines from “The Sick Rose” by William Blake. “Thou art sick. Invisible flies in the night. Howling storm has found out thy bed of crimson joy. Dark secret thy life destroy.”
Not the most coherent of hints, but at the very least, we’re getting closer to a reveal. It’s worth noting that Bloober Team trademarked Onyx: The Dark Grip in Europe in 2024. This could be the name of its next project, and may even refer to the “dark secret” that players must carry.
While Bloober Team has Silent Hill 1 Remake in the works and whatever the Cronos: The New Dawn team is working on (besides an Easy mode), it’s also teased Project M. Exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2, studio CEO Piotr Babieno promised a “bold twist” and a “vision that could only exist on Nintendo hardware.”
He also singled out Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Limbo and Eternal Darkness fans specifically as those who would feel “immediately at home” with it. Time will tell, but given that it’s Switch 2-exclusive, it could show up at the rumored Nintendo Direct, reportedly set to air next week. Perhaps a reveal trailer, followed by a deeper dive on February 15th? Stay tuned for more updates.
