Gameplay Teaser/Documentary
In this documentary-esque reveal, viewers are candidly treated to a visual spectacle and a never-before-seen peek behind the drapes of Ritual Tides. With offering glimpses of the eerily stunning landscapes and its grotesque inhabitants, it’s clear that this impending horror will both stun and leave players in awe of its beautifully gruesome exterior. If you’re looking for the most realistic game of 2025, then look no further than Ritual Tides.
Set to launch on PC in Q3 2025, followed shortly after on consoles, Ritual Tides will deliver near photo-realistic immersion. Being developed purely by the team at Vertpaint Games, all of which are avid gamers and horror fans themselves, they know exactly how to perfect the formula and deliver to players a jaw-dropping experience filled with terror and dread.
It’s clear from this reveal that talent knows no bounds within this accomplished team, with glowing appraisals already from industry legend and Director Jonathan Berube, who referred to the team as “The seal team of game development.”
James Macleod, CEO & Creative Director at Vertpaint Games had this to say - “We've been developing games for clients for years and we've built towards this rare chance to craft our dream game and, hopefully, in some small way, disrupt the stagnating AAA space.
We want to prove to audiences that what matters is the dedication, love and respect a team has for its project and vision, and we're crafting a game we genuinely want to play. We trademarked the name years ago and turned down big offers to chase this dream.
The game is exceedingly dark, we're not pulling any punches. Not everyone will like what it is we're aiming towards, and that is both to be expected and embraced.
We hope that players can instantly spot the difference between our game and one churned out just to rack up sales.
We've made big claims, if you're interested in calling us out, please join our discord and get involved! We're dedicated to sharing behind-the-scenes content and absolutely love interacting with fans of the genre, as well as gamers in general!”
