Indie developer Psychoz Interactive, will be bringing their upcoming title Forgotten Memories to Wii U this summer. The announcement comes via some tweets made by the development team’s owner Georges Paz, who seems very pleased with the Wii U’s technical capabilities:

The game, which was first in development for iOS (screenshot above), is being touted as a survival horror where players take the lead as an inspector named Rose Hawkins. Here’s a brief description of the gameplay according to the website:
“Forgotten Memories offers a unique mix between modern and classic survival horror genre, featuring a fear system at the core of the gameplay. Set with different characters and personalities, your teamwork will be often tested. Inspect and interact with your surroundings, protect your life, help your friends, escape danger, face or avoid horrible creatures, fight monstrous bosses and solve twisted riddles and puzzles. Every experience is a different way to face this psychological adventure.”
Personally, I’m not a big fan of the “survival horror” genre, mainly because I’m a scaredy cat – had to play the ZombiU demo with the lights on…need I say more? Anyway, I’m glad that a potentially good title is headed to the eShop this summer. Will you horror fans be getting this one? How do you think it will fair against ZombiU and Resident Evil: Revelations? Let us know in the comments below!
