January 14th, Cologne - Headup and developer Cracked Heads Games announced that their first-person horror game Silver Chains is coming to PlayStation®4 and Nintendo Switch in just two weeks from now - the release date for both platforms is locked in for January 29th.

After a car accident, the main protagonist Peter finds himself trapped in an old English manor. He went there as it was his only change to get help and shelter for the night, even if it didn't look too welcoming. Soon he realizes that he's not alone in there, something is lurking in the shadows. To find a way out, he explores the ancient building and it's getting weirder with every door he's leaving behind...

Using Unreal Engine 4, Silver Chains' graphics bring to life the hauntingly beautiful interiors of an early 20th century English manor. The Victorian architecture plays its part in creating an eerie atmosphere which will keep you on the edge of your seat as you unravel the mysteries of this place and uncover pure madness.

Check out the Console Trailer that will give you the creeps by revealing some of the game's supernatural creatures. Take a seat, crank up the volume and see for yourself!

About Cracked Heads Games

Cracked Heads Games started its work in 2016 as a game developing company. Consisting of five employees, the company is located in a small town named Yakutsk, Russia.

Once part of a successful company focusing on mobile games, the team has always wanted to create games for consoles. So, leaving everything behind, they decided to start their own company.
