Given Softstar's success in adapting the film The Bridge Curse into the 2022 survival horror game The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation, players have been eagerly waiting for its sequel, The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication. Following the launch of the game's Steam page, the first promo video has been officially released, giving players a peek at Wen Hua University's "Carnival of Horror." [previewyoutube=EkzjUDD5WT8;full][/previewyoutube] The promo starts with the image of an elevator at Wen Hua University. What looks like your average college campus is soon disturbed by the last known images of a missing student, seen from the perspective of the elevator's surveillance footage. Then there's the eerie red liquid spattered on the ground and the constant rumors of ghosts haunting the campus at night... All of this unveiling a series of most mysterious and frightening incidents.

Besides university students, part of the game is played as a reporter who arrives on campus to investigate a bizarre missing persons case after receiving an eerie letter.

A sergeant donning black shades patrols the campus after hours, and yellowing newspapers with frightening headlines can be seen crumpled in the corners. Will the school's dark secrets, after all these years, finally see the light of day?

But it looks like one of their faces has been purposefully scratched off. Is this just the work of trouble-making students, or is someone trying to hide something…?

Will prayer beads be enough to keep the evil away, or is this much too sinister? The complicated, interweaving storylines and the intricate visual clues scattered throughout the game show how much time and effort the development team has put into The Extrication. Softstar has also noted that besides adding new types of gameplay, the sequel is guaranteed to be even more challenging than the original, and will tell a deeper, more layered story.
