Fancy an old-school Silent Hill-type game set in 1986 rural England? Summerford has your back.
Summerford, from the wonderfully-named Noisy Valley Studios, is inspired by the “golden age” of survival horror, and classics such as the original Silent Hill, Resident Evil and Alone in the Dark.
It’s a third-person action adventure game that revolves around exploration, puzzle-solving and planning to survive. You play as Sam, an urban explorer in her late 20s who gets seperated from her friends. The creepy trailer is below:

The developer took to reddit to discuss the work, saying that while Summerford is inspired by the horror classics, it modernises some of the more archaic elements, such as controls and user interface.
Noisy Valley Studios is a three-person team of family developers who all grew up in “a middle of nowhere rural location in Kent”. Summerford, however, is inspired by places such as the Isle of Wight and the Cotswolds, alongside more local areas.
