Continuing on with the Lovecraftian theme enveloping AusGamers at the moment, publisher Rogue Games dropped a recent combat trailer for its upcoming "supernatural action-platformer", The Last Case of Benedict Fox, which itself leans heavily into Lovecraftian and atmospheric horror tropes, but as per this new video, it's also full of awesome combat.

Step into gothic-era Boston as the eponymous self-proclaimed detective to experience the deep mauve haze, sinister spires, foreboding footpaths, and unnerving reverberations of Limbo. As Benedict you will delve further into oblivion, in a journey to uncover the truth behind a mystifying family tragedy while answering to the whims of a demon that possesses his soul. Delve into memories of the dead through a chilling narrative interwoven with exhilarating combat and mind-bending puzzle design. Explore the arcane realms of life and death in the universe of Limbo as far as your psyche will allow, but beware, this case can easily consume you… Will this case be solved or will you succumb to the insanity?

This game has been high on our list of must-plays for 2023 ever since it was unveiled last year thanks to its unique art style and presentation, and the aforementioned setting and tone. It drops for PC (Steam, EGS) and Xbox Series X|S this April 27. Stay tuned for more as we have it and check out a handful of new screens below.
