¿Quién es Emio? Esa es la pregunta que nos hace Nintendo en el inquietante teaser que han publicado de lo que parece un nuevo juego de terror.
Nintendo is not the first company we would associate with horror video games. Not the second, third, or fourth either. In their long history, you can count with one hand the number of horror games they have published or developed, and that’s why it’s so surprising when they decide to do it. It’s completely out of their comfort zone. But that’s exactly what they just did– in the strangest way possible.
Publishing a strange teaser on their website, the video shows a figure wearing a trench coat and a paper bag over their head. A text in Japanese tells us that this figure’s name is “smiling man”. The character’s name, Emio, seems to be the real name, as well as the name of the video, but no other information has been revealed so far. Except for an indication at the end of the video that the game will be released for Nintendo Switch.
From here on, everything else is speculation. There are those who believe that this will be a game by Bloober Team, since the CEO of the studio has stated that they’re working on a horror game with Nintendo, codenamed Project M. But we have no proof that it has any relation to Emio.
To learn more about Emio, we’ll have to wait for Nintendo to reveal more about it. What we do know is that we hope not to encounter it in our house in a dark hallway…
