Sam Barlow's Next Game 'Precognition' Announced by Kinetic Publishing

Kinetic Publishing, a fresh indie label founded by the team behind the popular co-op horror game Phasmophobia, recently held its inaugural games showcase. The event revealed five ambitious new titles slated for release in 2027 and 2028, hinting at an exciting future for indie gaming.

Among the most significant reveals was the confirmation that Kinetic Publishing will be releasing the next game from Sam Barlow, the visionary creator known for his innovative FMV (Full Motion Video) titles like Telling Lies and Immortality. Titled Precognition, this new project was previously teased as 'Project C.'

Fans of Barlow's work can expect his signature nonlinear storytelling and immersive FMV sequences. Precognition places players in the shoes of Diana, a woman who discovers she has the ability to receive visions. The game promises to delve into the mysteries and implications of such a power, continuing Barlow's exploration of interactive narrative and player agency.

The showcase also highlighted other promising titles from Kinetic Publishing, though details remain somewhat scarce for the moment. The company's formation by the Phasmophobia developers signals a strong foundation in creating engaging and potentially spooky experiences. With Barlow's next game now officially under their wing, Kinetic Publishing is positioning itself as a key player to watch in the indie game development scene.

The announcement of Precognition is particularly exciting for players who appreciate narrative-driven games that push the boundaries of interactive storytelling. Barlow's unique approach to FMV and his ability to craft compelling, player-driven mysteries have earned him a dedicated following, and his collaboration with Kinetic Publishing is sure to generate significant buzz within the gaming community.
