Sometimes They Come Back Will Have You Do Some Dark Journalism

Sometimes journalists need to do some weird stuff as the announcement for Sometimes They Come Back shows us all

It is always interesting to see how some titles try to mix in different stories into a basic FPS and here we go with Sometimes They Come Back. This is the latest title announced from Asylum Labs and Bonus Stage Publishing that will have us facing off to some weird and horrifying things out there. The bigger twist to Sometimes They Come Back is that we are looking at taking on the role of a journalist that has almost nothing left to lose and setting out to find that next big story. Only for things to go further sideways than they could have ever expected. It is a new take and not as we have seen in the past titles that have tried to do the same thing only making the player non-combative.

Just as many games in the past have done, Sometimes They Come Back takes inspiration from various other titles to aim to give us all a different experience. You can kind of see it, and kind of not, but some of those titles would be DOOM, Control, and Resident Evil. The fast action of it all and horror creatures is what I am assuming where it is all coming in, but sometimes inspiration could come from something deeper. Maybe it is all from a different dimension and not just an evil corporation doing evil things. No matter the case, I will say that the game does look like it could be a bit of fun even with the small-team feel we are getting from it all.

Sometimes They Come Back — First Look

Ok, so here’s the deal. You’re a journalist — a good one! But your career is stuck and your life is spiraling down the drain because of it. Wife: gone. Liver: failure. Mental health: none. Rent: due.

You’re in desperate need of a new home, and at this point of your life, it doesn't really matter what it is, for as long as there is a roof over your head.

You end up moving to the notorious towers filled with junkies, drug lords, cons, and just all the kinds of lowlifes — hey, it’s cheap! But you quickly realize why. The place is under some weird influence… Can it be? Did They come back?

You smell money and fame. This is the story that brings all the good stuff back to your life. You will solve the mystery of the Towers, the mysteries of Them. This is your big story. Unless it kills you…
