Well we (finally) dropped a new trailer, and the response has been pretty positive, overall. Somewhat surprising: we've seen a lot of queries/comments as to whether it's Robert Downy, Jr., or Tom Hanks who's doing the VO (spoiler: it's neither).
In the last few days, we've been fortunate to have been picked up by gaming media from around the world. This is encouraging, as we set out from the start to bring the game - and the story it tells - to as wide of an audience as possible. Working with talented translators to bring the game to 11 languages was a bit of a nightmare, logistically... but it's important, and we hope it proves worth the effort.
With that in mind, wanted to share some of the write-ups Narcosis has received around the globe...
Czechoslovakia: XboxWeb "Tichý oceán je bezesporu překrásným ekosystémem, což si asi nemyslíte ve chvíli, kdy se nacházíte na jeho dně v nechutně těžkém skafandru."
Finland: V2 "Tekijät lupailevat teollisen katastrofin aiheuttamaan seikkailuun surrealistisia näköhavaintoja, ääniä ja tilanteita."
France: JeuxActu "Enfin, on nous fait comprendre que les hallucinations seront de plus en plus récurrentes au fur et à mesure que le personnage flirtera avec la folie."

India: Gaming Central "Narcosis has garnered critical acclaim for its unique setting, compelling narrative, striking visuals and subtle but effective usage of virtual reality."
Italy: Multiplayer "Sviluppato da Honor Code, team indipendente formato da persone che hanno lavorato a titoli come Assassin's Creed, Metal Gear Solid, Remember Me e Silent Hill, il gioco ci vedrà impegnati in intense sessioni di esplorazione subacquea, anche in realtà virtuale grazie al supporto per i visori Oculus Rift e HTC Vive."

Romania: Getrekt "Crezi că poți ajunge la suprafață? Supraviețuiește folosind puținele unelte pe care le găsești, și ai grijă să nu ți se termine oxigenul."
Russia: Vsem-Privet "Narcosis представляет собой напряженный психологический ужастик, в котором игрок оказывается заперт в скафандре на дне океана, и тщетно пытается выбраться из-под многих метров воды."
Spain: 3DJuegos "El terror llega de nuevo a Xbox One con Narcosis, un título del estudio independiente Honor Code que nos trasladará a la profundidad del océano para vivir una auténtica aventura que nos enfrentará a todo tipo de criaturas no aptas para cardíacos."
Vietnam: Game4V "Bạn sẽ phải cố gắng giúp đỡ anh ta trở lại mặt đất, trước khi mất mạng vì hết Oxy hoặc phát điên do những ảo giác của nỗi sợ hãi, cô độc gây nên."
