Use déjà vu to bridge realities in hard sci-fi psychological thriller The Gap Nothing to do with the clothes store. News by Robert Purchese Senior Staff Writer Published on 24 Aug 2022 1 comment An intriguing-sounding psychological thriller called The Gap was announced during the Future Games Show this evening. It's described as a hard sci-fi first-person narrative game set in 2045, not that the sci-fi elements are particularly apparent from the debut trailer. This shows you, a neuroscientist called Joshua Hayes, waking up on the floor of presumably your own apartment, with a voice - and written messages on the walls - telling you not to trust anyone. But you can't remember what is going on. Hayes suffers from a rare genetic disorder that affects his memory, so the focus in the game is trying to recover those memories by re-experiencing them. The catalyst for this is déjà vu, triggered by objects that act like a bridge to a parallel reality to experience memories again. But there's tragedy hiding in your past, too. The debut trailer. Intriguing, isn't it? The Gap is the debut game from two-person Slovenian studio Label This, and will be published by small Polish team Crunching Koalas, which has been around for a while, mostly porting and doing work-for-hire jobs on games like Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, Darkwood and This War of Mine. The Gap is coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X, and Crunching Koalas tells me it's aiming for early next year. Most of this is taken from the trailer, so I'm not sure how in-game it is, but it could be. Stylish apartment, though - minus the creepy stuff obviously.
