In The Multiplayer Survival Horror Game ‘Damned,’ You’re The Hunter

Published

9heads Games recently unveiled their second project, a multiplayer-centric survival horror game that puts you in the shoes (boots, hooves, whatever) of the bad thing that’s killing everyone. Now, before you get all up-in-arms about the multiplayer bit, don’t worry, it actually looks amazing. This is because in Damned, it’s being used in a really unique way. In it, up to five players will have the option of teaming up as a group to better their odds of survival while another player hunts them down. See it in action after the jump.

The abandoned hotel the game takes place in is randomly generated every time you play, so each experience is unique. This is great for a multiplayer game, but especially so for a horror title. Unpredictability is scary, that’s why I stay at home on a familiar chair, next to a familiar desk, surrounded by the familiar scent of death. Err, shh, I’ve said too much.

You can — and totally should — support Damned by voting for it on Steam Greenlight and, if you’re feeling extra generous, you can be a little more invested in your generosity by donating to its Indiegogo campaign.

According to the game’s Indiegogo and Steam Greenlight pages, Damned is a “randomized online horror game” in which five players -— four as “survivors” and one monster — are locked inside a haunted hotel. Survivors are tasked with finding a way out and keeping each other alive. The monster haunts, stalks and can eventually kill the survivors, as well as trigger noises and events to mess with them as they try to escape.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
