In this thrilling video game by IGN, Holston emerges as a true masterpiece in the survival horror genre. With its breathtaking pixel art, dynamic perspective shifts, and eerie Polish backdrop, Holston is a game that demands attention. The new 2-hour PC demo offers a tantalizing glimpse into the game's rich narrative, elevating the player experience to new heights.

Players can seamlessly transition between top-down and over-the-shoulder views, adding an extra layer of tension and excitement to the gameplay.
Holston's environment is teeming with grotesque tentacles, mutated adversaries, and implied gore, creating a palpable sense of dread and unease.

If the rest of the game maintains this level of quality, it is poised to become a classic in the survival horror genre.
