Press release:
Haarlem, The Netherlands – 2019-05-18 – Iceberg Interactive is very excited to reveal that the team behind the best-selling CONARIUM and DARKNESS WITHIN series, now reborn as Stormling Studios, is currently working on a disturbingly macabre new game.

With “TRANSIENT“, Stormling aims to combine their signature Lovecraftian themed adventure talents with futuristic, cyberpunk ingredients, resulting in a unique setting and storyline.

TRANSIENT is currently slated for release in 2020 on PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One.

The reveal trailer provides a small glimpse into the developer’s bizarre world, created as the backdrop for another surreal excursion for Lovecraft addicts.

Iceberg Interactive CEO Erik Schreuder says:

“Iceberg has become the go-to publisher for those seeking their Lovecraftian fix – we will only enhance this reputation further with the addition of this grizzly creepfest”.

Stormling Studios’ Onur Samli says:

“We are thrilled to reveal our new project, Transient. We are moving to a new level of nightmarish surrealism by melding our love of all things cyberpunk with the historic and classic elements of H.P. Lovecraft”.

About the Game
In a distant, post-apocalyptic future, what remains of the population of mankind lives in an enclosed citadel called Domed City Providence, created to survive the harsh outside environment. In this, mankind’s final refuge, Randolph Carter, a member of a notorious hacker-for-hire group called ODIN, accidentally stumbles across the terrifying truth, a truth that might tear apart his own sanity and lead him to question his very existence.

Key features:
– H.P. Lovecraft meets Cyberpunk. Delve deep into an obscure dystopian world and hold firm to your consciousness while you explore enigmatic networks where change is permanent but reality is only temporary.
