New cozy-horror game Fractured Bloom looks like Harvest Moon and Silent Hill had a terrifying anime baby
A little Doki Doki Literature Club and The Stanley Parable got mixed in and we can't wait to play it.

Game trailers are supposed to give you a taste of what is to come. Like an appetizer before a delicious meal, it should make us crave just a little bit more. That is exactly what the new trailer for Fractured Blooms has done. We don’t know anything about this game other than what we see in a surreal, haunting trailer but we desperately want to play this new title from developer Serenity Forge.
The trailer starts off like so many cozy games before it. Plant vegetables. Tend to the garden. Things quickly get creepy, though, as the entire house is filled with blood and viscera. Fractured Blooms feels like Harvest Moon meets Silent Hill by way of Doki Doki Literature Club and that is a sentence we never thought we would write.
The gameplay we see puts players in control of an anime girl named Angie who finds herself stuck in a time loop. Every day she must learn a bit more about her new world, why she’s there, and why there is so much blood on the walls. We honestly don’t want to know anything else about this game before we play it; any more information would only ruin the experience of trying to uncover this mystery for ourselves.
There is no release date for Fractured Blooms yet, so we’ll have to wait a long time to figure out what is happening in this weird house and why it is trying to eat that cute anime girl who just wants to tend to her lovely garden.
You don't need to beat the game to prepare for the next one—here are all the major new and upcoming games coming our way.
