I’m getting a real 10 Cloverfield Lane vibe from this teasing first look at Somerville, the mysterious first game from Jumpship.
But what is Jumpship? It’s an indie studio founded by Chris Olsen, who dreamed up the concept for Somerville. Giving the project a little added juice is Dino Patti, the co-founder and former CEO of Limbo and Inside developer Playdead. Patti joined Jumpship to help shepherd Somerville into being.
The game itself remains a mystery. This teasing first look suggests some kind of alien invasion ties into the story, but the foreground setting — it looks like a rural farm — makes me think that the game could use that global event more as narrative texture.
Hence the Cloverfield vibe. In both of those movies, world-shaking events are merely the backdrop for much smaller, human-on-the-street (or “in the fallout bunker”) tales.
Keep up with the latest on Somerville at the game’s official website.
