Stroboskop announces Sylvio 2, an upcoming sequel to their first-person horror game. The Sylvio 2 website is already online, offering a counter ticking off the seconds until December 1st, when they will release a trailer and a playable alpha demo and kick off Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight campaigns. In the meantime they offer a single screenshot and say the original Sylvio will go on sale for 50% off on the Humble Store and Steam over the weekend to celebrate the news. Here's word:

Sylvio, the critically acclaimed first-person EVP horror game released this summer is getting a sequel. Labeled ”the best horror game of the year” by Adam Smith of Rock, Paper, Shotgun, and nominated for ”Best Original Game” on the upcoming TIGA awards, it’s been an overwhelming and awesome first six months of the game. Stroboskop is more determined than ever in trying to add something new and original to the horror game genre.

Sylvio 2 is set in broad daylight through-out the game, in the days following a ravaging forest fire in Saginaw Family Park. Juliette Waters is once again the protagonist, and portrayed, just like last time, by the brilliant actress Maia Hansson Bergqvist. And she’s got a hold of some brand new equipment.

”Stelotron L-500”, the reel recorder from the original Sylvio, has been replaced with the ”Stelotron L-1000”. A 360° video camera and a portable TV, making it possible to record ghosts in both vision and audio. You can zoom in and scan your recordings for any ghosts caught on tape, and just as before, your recordings are playable forward / backward in normal speed, fast forward or slow motion.
