The studio, known for titles like Silent Hill 2 and Layers of Fear, launched a website featuring a countdown timer set to expire on Valentine’s Day, February 14th.

Bloober Team, the studio behind Silent Hill 2, Layers of Fear, and Cronos: The New Dawn, is teasing a new project set to be revealed on February 14th.
A cryptic countdown timer is currently live on remosdneulserorehsoovamceyerd.com, ticking down to Valentine’s Day – just 17 days away – when full details of the announcement will be released.
Visitors to the website are greeted with the message, “Some things never leave the walls. They just learn to wait,” accompanied by a button that plays a spoken-word excerpt. This approach to building anticipation is increasingly common in the gaming industry, leveraging mystery to generate buzz.
The audio clip, when activated, recites: “You are sick… a hidden fly in the night… the raging storm found the bed of your crimson joy… a dark secret destroying your life.” The passage is an excerpt from William Blake’s poem, “The Sick Rose,” potentially hinting at the thematic core of the upcoming project.
The imagery of roses, particularly a bleeding rose displayed when the audio button is pressed, appears to be a central motif. Fans have speculated that the teaser could be for a new installment in the Rule of Rose series, or potentially a remake of the original game.
Rule of Rose, released in 2006 for the PlayStation 2 and published by PlayStation, falls within Bloober Team’s area of expertise. The studio is also currently working on a remake of the original Silent Hill, assuring fans of the long-running horror franchise that their interests haven’t been forgotten.
