This newly-announced FPS will let you blast through the worlds of Medieval Europe’s weirdest artist, and I really hope it includes the 500-year-old butt song from hell
Hieronymus is a newly announced first-person action-adventure game inspired by the surreal, grotesque paintings of the Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch. It matters because it turns Bosch’s distinctive medieval imagery into an interactive setting, combining exploration, combat, magic and alchemy in a style rarely used for games.
Players control Helena van Aken as she confronts bizarre creatures and investigates secrets linked to her family. The game was revealed with a trailer at the Future Games Show during Gamescom and is planned for PC via Steam, although no release date has been announced; the article also notes Bosch’s famous “butt song” hidden in The Garden of Earthly Delights.
- Hieronymus adapts Bosch’s surreal art into a first-person game.
- Players use combat, magic and alchemy as Helena van Aken.
- It is coming to PC, with no release date confirmed.
