Privacy Arrives on Steam In 2020

Written by Brandon Hofer on September 19, 2019

News: A new narrative adventure will arrive next year on Steam that deals with privacy, or perhaps the lack thereof.

Codalyn, the studio behind Stable Orbit, has revealed their next title that will appear on PC via Steam, Privacy. This single-player game takes place in a Dutch countryside villa and is developed by Jim Offerman (Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Tomb Raider).

In the summer of 2079, you’ll be sent to the home of Robert-Paul den Heer, the billionaire CEO of DENHEER, Inc. who has recently died in a car crash. The task is ostensibly simple: secure Mr. Den Heer’s undisclosed research for the company. When you enter the house, however, they soon discover that Robert-Paul was a very complicated man. In the quest to uncover Mr. Den Heer’s secrets, you are assisted by Hubert, a series 5 house A.I. Hubert is voiced with an unsettling calm by Anthony Ingruber (Batman: The Telltale Series, LEGO DC Super-Villains).

“With Privacy, you will experience a future where ‘the walls’, in the form of Hubert, can truly listen and respond to everything they do,” said game creator Jim Offerman. “The game is designed to fully immerse you into the experience and will allow you to interact with every object in the house.”

Some of the features that you will find in this game include:

A Rich Story - Explore a richly detailed modernist villa, fully realized in 4K graphics. Interact with Hubert and pull open every door and drawer to uncover the story of a driven entrepreneur-inventor and the events that shaped him and his family.

A Vision of the Future - Experience a vision of the future where artificial intelligence and augmented reality have replaced most electronic devices we use today. Smartphones, tablets, laptops and televisions are all rendered obsolete in the future portrayed in Privacy.

A Narrative Experience - Privacy is a narrative-focused game. Unravel the secrets of the house and story at your own pace.

Privacy will be arriving on both Mac and PC in 2020. Take a look at the reveal trailer below and then tell us what you think. Does this look like the type of game that you would be interested in?
