The announcement accompanied a new trailer that premiered at the OTK Winter Games Expo, showcasing the terror that awaits players in the forests of Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>Drowned Lake features a non-linear story that\u2019s told from 3 perspectives: Carolina the reporter, Rafael the first responder, and Leonardo the old fisherman. Drawing from Brazil\u2019s folklore, the story revolves around the mystery surrounding a student who went missing in Brazil\u2019s Mata Atl\u00e2ntica. Search parties are also reporting strange noises and sightings in the area, with authorities urging people to stay away. As the lake\u2019s dark past comes to light, so do the secrets buried deep within the three strangers, forcing them to confront both their inner demons and the sinister presence haunting the lake.<\/p>\n<p>The playtest will have you navigating your boat through precarious hurdles and abandoned debris. The evidence is fragmented and scattered. You\u2019ll need to fish out the clues in order to reveal the truth that lies behind the missing student\u2019s disappearance. Your safety, for lack of a better term, is a fluid concept. Keep the noise low, don\u2019t rush and stay quiet. You don\u2019t want to let \u201cher\u201d know that you\u2019re there.<\/p>\n<p>To get your feet wet, Monumental Collab\u2019s found-footage horror game TELEFORUM (which takes place in the same universe as Drowned Lake) is <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2186570\/TELEFORUM\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">available to play for free.<\/a><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Developer Monumental Collab and publisher CRITICAL REFLEX have announced that their upcoming fishing survival horror title Drowned Lake&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":283937,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[49052,115723,96,115724,2839,1180,3121,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-283936","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-critical-reflex","9":"tag-drowned-lake","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-monumental-collab","12":"tag-movies","13":"tag-pc","14":"tag-steam","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
