A surreal mystery from the creators of Sayonara Wild Hearts
LORELEI AND LASER EYES | Release date trailer
Sayonara Wild Hearts developer Simogo announced a release date for its next game, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, during Nintendo's Indie World showcase on Wednesday. It's set for Nintendo Switch and Windows PC on May 16.
Announced for 2022, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a far more macabre experience than Sayonara Wild Hearts. You'll enter a mysterious, black-and-white mansion in central Europe, where you'll wander the halls as a woman with laser eyes (probably Lorelei) to solve puzzles and see patterns. Simogo and publisher Annapurna Interactive have kept much of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes a big mystery – and to best understand it, you just have to dive right into playing it. It couldn't look more different than Sayonara Wild Hearts, except for the female protagonist and dreamy, surreal art style, but looks no less exciting.
Wednesday's trailer gives us a taste of the mystery and intrigue, with all sorts of different puzzles within its strange world. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is the Swedish studios' ninth game, after Sayonara Wild Hearts in 2019.
