Chromatic aberration is made manifest in NECHROMIA, a high contrast survival horror set in a castle made of something else's memories

Look, I love a PS1 horror throwback as much as the next whatever Gonzo is , but they don't all have to look like Silent Hill or Resident Evil, do they?

Hence my interest in NEHCROMIA, a high-contrast survival horror set in a castle made of memories that aren't yours (a seizure warning is in order for the trailer below).
