In May of 2018, CBE Software announced Someday You’ll Return, and today the independent studio announced the release date of the upcoming psychological horror title, scheduled for April 14th, 2020, on PC. This is the first announcement by CBE Software regarding Someday You’ll Return since going dark to work on the game after its announcement, leading to it joining the ongoing list of psychological horror titles coming to PC and consoles.

Previously, CBE Software developed the point and click space adventure J.U.L.I.A Among the Stars, setting the developer up as a favorite for fans of mind-bending puzzlers. However, it would seem that the popularity of horror titles has brought the small studio into the realm of the dark and creepy for the upcoming title.

Someday You’ll Return sets the upcoming horror title off by placing the player into the shoes of Daniel, a father looking for his missing daughter Stela. However, Daniel will have to endure horrors to find his runaway daughter by returning to a traumatic place from his past, the ancient Moravian forests. Supposedly the player character had promised never to enter this place again, but as the game’s title suggests, Daniel has no choice but to return in search of Stela.

The game will include a number of classic horror mechanics, including crafting, stealth, and a karma system that adds weight to player action as the course of events change based on player decisions. From the trailer, players should be ready for a similar experience to the recent Blair Witch title that launched in 2019, with similar mechanics driving the gameplay. Fans of puzzle heavy, psychological horror with an emphasis on adventuring through dark, mysterious spaces are sure to be excited to explore the Moravian forests in Someday You’ll Return.

Considering the two-man studio’s previous releases, like J.U.L.I.A. Among the Stars and Vampires: Guide Them to Safety!, the quality of the upcoming game’s adventure and puzzles are already spoken for. CBE Studios has so far been responsible for some fairly popular Steam releases, and Someday You’ll Return may rise to a similar level, especially considering the intriguing nature of the “psychological horror” tag.

Someday You’ll Return is set to release on April 14th, 2020 for PC, with a scheduled PS4 and Xbox One release planned for later in the year.
