Silent Hill 2, Layers of Fear and Cronos: The New Dawn developer Bloober Team is teasing a reveal of some kind that’s set to take place in February.
A creepy countdown website, found at remosdneulserorehsoovamceyerd.com, is currently ticking down the 17 days and various hours, minutes and seconds until Valentine’s Day, February 14, when all will be revealed.
Visit the website today and there’s a new snippet of text — “Some things never leave the walls. They only learn to wait.” — as well as a button you can press to hear an excerpt from some poetry.
“Thou art sick… invisible flies in the night…” an intense-sounding voice reads out when the website’s Play button is pressed. “Howling storm has found out thy bed of crimson joy… Dark secret thy life destroy.” These sections are snippets of a William Blake poem named “The Sick Rose” — which could be a hint to what this is all about.
Alongside the Valentine’s Day date and an image of a rose (which, when clicked, begins to bleed), clearly roses are a big theme here. It’s enough that some fans have speculated that the tease is for a new Rule of Rose game, or remake of the original.
Released back in 2006 for PlayStation 2, the PlayStation-published survival horror title would seem to be within Bloober Team’s wheelhouse. And, of course, Silent Hill fans needn’t worry — the developer is also working on a remake of the franchise’s original game too.
