Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival shows us the Genesis Configuration
The Genesis Configuration represents much more than just an object: it is a key to transformation that responds to our curiosity, but which requires suffering to reveal its full potential. Outside of combat, we will have to manipulate the puzzle box to alter sections of the Labyrinth, opening new paths and overcoming environmental obstacles. The same skill will be essential to solve puzzles in the mortal world, requiring attention and strategy to progress.
However, it is in combat that the Genesis Configuration reveals its true nature. Through brutal executions we will be able to collect Suffering, the resource necessary to activate special abilities. With Telekinesis we will have to throw circular blades, railway nails and other projectiles at enemies, mutilating and dismembering them. Pyrokinesis will allow us to absorb incandescent flames to set opponents and surrounding scenarios on fire. And, of course, we will be able to summon the iconic Chains of Hell to tear our opponents to pieces mercilessly.
The "Genesis Configuration" trailer gives us a first glimpse of these mechanics, confirming that Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival will focus on hybrid gameplay where strategy, reflection and violent action will have to coexist to survive the horrific challenges that await us. Here it is below!
