The creator of the acclaimed 2022 sci-fi adventure Norco is now working on a ‘narrative micro-adventure’ featuring an android in an AI-infested oil refinery

Geography of Robots, the developer behind the critically acclaimed Norco, has unveiled their latest project, Silenus. This new adventure game takes players into the depths of an abandoned oil refinery, where the sinister forces of AI automation and corporate greed loom large.

In Silenus, players assume the role of an android navigating the eerie corridors of the refinery, uncovering dark secrets and unraveling a twisted narrative. The game’s striking visuals and atmospheric design promise to immerse players in a world that is both haunting and captivating.

One unique feature of Silenus is its music tie-in with the Louisiana metal band Thou. The band’s latest album, Umbilical, has been released early through the game’s demo, allowing players to discover tracks as in-game items and listen to them within the game’s menu. This unconventional collaboration adds an extra layer of depth to the gaming experience, blending the worlds of music and storytelling in a seamless way.

Geography of Robots has announced that the demo for Silenus will be available for two to three weeks following the release of Umbilical on May 31. While the full game’s release date is still unknown, players can dive into the demo on Steam and wishlist the game for future updates.

If you’re a fan of atmospheric adventure games and immersive storytelling, Silenus is definitely a title to keep an eye on. And if you haven’t experienced Norco yet, now is the perfect time to grab it at a discounted price on Steam until May 23. Don’t miss out on this unique blend of cyberpunk, southern gothic, and metal music in the world of Silenus.
