Fears to Fathom – Ironbark Lookout PS5 release!

This port was very much under the radar and wasn’t disclosed that it was being worked on until the release week. It was really exciting when the team reached out and wanted us to work on the title as we all knew of the series of Fears to Fathom games so it was a real privilege to work on this title.

Features for PS5 version we added:

- Microphone supported for hiding sequences

- Lightbar colours for day / night and when caught by cultist turns red

- Adaptive trigger support when driving RVfro accelerating and braking

- Vibration support for when crashing in RV

- Extra options in options menu (Look sensitivity, toggle run)

- Full localisation of game

- Full controller support

- Extra Trophies from PC version (13 total now)

We had a lot of fun playing around with the Microphone functionality with getting it to work in the game at the hiding sequences. We have never added this feature into a live game but was great we were able to achieve this with PS5 as it was a great feature on the PC version.

A great easter egg was Jacksepticeye provided a voice over on the employee training video which took us by surprise when we first started on the project to hear his voice!

It has been a great experience to work with Rayll and the team and them trusting us to port this title, we can't thank them enough for the opportunity!
