South of the Circle, from developer State of Play is an upcoming compelling narrative experience set in the midst of the Cold War in the 1960s.
You play as Peter, caught between life defining choices of either pursuing his career or true love. The story stretches between past and present, features amazing art style and aesthetics, exceptional writing and voice-acting from talents such as Gwilym Lee from Bohemian Rhapsody and Olivia Vinall from The Woman in White.
Here are some words from director Marek Ziemak at 11 bit studios: “South of the Circle is one of those love-at-first-sight things, “The game's narrative and artistic sensitivity immediately captivated us. South of the Circle is heavily-focused on storytelling inspired by world-class cinema, which makes it a bit different from our previous titles. Once players experience its instantaneously engaging, emotion-packed narrative, we're convinced they'll understand why we wanted to have it in our publishing portfolio. And we’re thrilled to be able to start working with State of Play since it’s a studio that has been on our radar for a long time”.
There is currently no release date for South of the Circle but it will come soon to PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series S|X, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. You can wishlist the game now on Steam.
