Here’s 10 more minutes of the most interesting game shown at this year’s Opening Night Live
Frictional Games’ upcoming horror adventure title Ontos emerged as a standout attraction at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, distinguishing itself from the event’s numerous similar fantasy action games.
The game garnered significant attention for its unsettling and distinctive aesthetic, featuring surreal imagery including rodent-powered server systems and human subjects with protruding electrodes. Initial interest from the Gamescom trailer led to an extended 10-minute gameplay showcase that provides deeper insight into the game’s mechanics and design.
The extended presentation focuses on the same section featured in the shorter promotional trailer but adds substantial context regarding gameplay systems and the types of challenges players will encounter. Described as an “existential crisis generator” alongside its horror adventure classification, Ontos represents a notable departure from the broader trends on display at the event.
