The Saros gameplaytrailer, revealed at the Sept. 24 State of Play livestream, made clear that developer Housemarque’s new game is bringing familiar elements from its predecessor, the 2021 sci-fi roguelike Returnal.

In this case, there’s an apparent connection between the game and the 19th-century book, The King in Yellow.
Is Saros a reference to The King in Yellow book?
