Indie dev collective Here Below has announced a new title for 2026 called ULTRASOUND, and it’s a “thought-provoking science-fiction body-horror adventure” coming to PC.
The team explains the game as follows: “Set aboard a long haul space freighter hurtling towards a star, ULTRASOUND sees players step into the shoes of Medical Officer Dana Voss, as she diagnoses and performs surgical procedures upon a grotesque alien infection which is rapidly spreading aboard the ship.
As the infection grows and begins to take hold, critical ship systems are at risk of failing; only by using an array of surgical apparatus and a portable ultrasound machine to scan, identify and diagnose will Dana have any hope of averting a fatal cosmic collision. New medical tools must be found, upgrades must be made and strange injections must be formulated to deal with ever-expanding growths and unwanted mutations.
This dread-soaked interstellar adventure is laden with difficult decisions and disgusting discoveries that will impact Dana’s journey and shape her ultimate fate.”
Walter Woods (Lead Developer), said: “So many of us know the hope and horror of the ultrasound machine. The mystery. The ambiguity. The flickering image of life and death.” Woods added: “We hope our game captures these difficult feelings and resonates with players.”
Here’s the key features:
- A MYSTERIOUS INFECTION IS SPREADING aboard a long haul space freighter. As Medical Officer Dana Voss, you must diagnose and perform surgical procedures on ship systems. Restore functionality before your collision course with a star comes to cosmic end.
- USE A PORTABLE ULTRASOUND MACHINE to discover and diagnose bizarre malformations that hide within your ship.
