The Twilight Project Trailer and Gameplay Details
While The Twilight Project follows similar gameplay mechanics to those found in games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, this unique entry into the survival horror genre will also introduce a base-building element and defense mechanisms. Players will be able to establish their own safe zones by setting up traps and stockpiling resources, similar to gameplay in The Forest. A day and night cycle will give players a chance to prepare in sunlight while battling in darkness. Investigation mechanics can be used to analyze clues and puzzle-solving will unlock helpful information about the twisted village shaped by Southeast Asian folklore.

The Twilight Project has already received a number of favorable comparisons to other survival horror juggernauts, and many are keeping their fingers crossed that the upcoming journey through Thai folk horror will become a modern classic.
