Echoes of the Abyss: Sylvio: Black Waters Emerges July 25

17/07/2024

Los Angeles, USA - July 16, 2024 — Prepare for a thrilling descent into darkness with the launch of Sylvio: Black Waters, the eagerly awaited third installment in the Sylvio series, brought to you by indie developer Stroboskop and horror connoisseurs DreadXP. Riding on the legacy of the original Sylvio, which snagged a nomination for Best Original Game at the 2015 TIGA Awards and garnered high praise from PC Gamer and Rock, Paper, Shotgun, this sequel promises to merge the beloved eerie ambiance of its predecessors with an innovative narrative twist.

  • Release Date: July 25, 2024.
  • Genre: Horror, Exploration, Adventure
  • Developer: Stroboskop
  • Publisher: DreadXP
  • Platforms: PC-Steam

Set in a world eerily reminiscent of Earth yet distinctly otherworldly, Sylvio: Black Waters invites players to explore as a lone wanderer equipped with a peculiar device capable of tuning into the echoes of those long gone. Through this device, you encounter Lee, a voice claiming to be the last survivor, who guides you through shadowy realms to uncover the intertwined fates of this strange world and perhaps your own.

The game introduces new mechanics and a physics-defying environment where gravity bends and the rules of reality are as twisted as the puzzles it presents. Prepare for 4-6 hours of intense gameplay featuring:

  • Innovative physics-bending challenges in a dynamically shifting world.
  • Audio puzzles that require you to piece together the voices from the past.
  • Video decryption tasks that offer glimpses into the enigmatic history of the world.
  • Combat against spectral foes with unique air-powered weaponry.


Sylvio: Black Waters stands as a beacon for fans of the series and newcomers alike, offering a standalone experience that's as inviting as it is chilling. 

Mark your calendars for July 25 and ready yourself to venture into the darkness.
