SKYHILL: BLACK MIST STORY GAMEPLAY TRAILER AND SPECIAL EDITIONS REVEALED!
Hey Folks!
Today Klabater and Mandragora Games are pleased to reveal a story gameplay trailer for the upcoming isometric survival-horror, SKYHILL: Black Mist.

SKYHILL: Black Mist, the second installment of the series, is a combination of horror and survival game. The game loosely parallels the original concept, but gameplay-wise it’s a revolutionary step forward. This time the developers moved from 2D to 3D, presenting the action in an isometric view. The game mechanics have been significantly enhanced with stealth elements and solutions known from metroidvania-like games, including the ability to re-explore already visited locations to find previously inaccessible items and information. An important element of the game, also improved compared to the original, is the crafting system that allows players to craft items that will help them survive in the most difficult conditions.
The story in SKYHILL: Black Mist is inspired by the classic horror cinema, while also introducing mysterious and paranormal elements that we associate with such series as Stranger Things. The player cannot be sure what is true and what is an illusion. Locked in a haunted luxurious building complex owned by the mysterious corporation Skyhill Inc., he tries to understand who or what stands behind the eponymous Black Mist that turns people into mindless monsters.
SKYHILL: Black Mist will be released in three edition:
Standard ($24,99) ,

Here’s short note from Eugene, head of SKYHILL: Black Mist project:
"I think of the first Skyhill as a kind of an introduction to what we're creating now for Black Mist. We had time to significantly improve and expand the main concept; only the haunted building was left from the original game. The scale and the scope of this new adventure are incomparably greater, both in terms of gameplay solutions and due to the transition to extensive 3D locations that can be freely explored. It's a big game, full of surprises and plot-twists. I hope both fans of the original game and new players will like it."
