‘The Dead Linger’ Isn’t Just Another Zombie Game
Okay, yes, in a way, The Dead Linger is another zombie game. It has zombies, and your goal is to survive against them by scavenging for supplies, fortifying safe areas, and beating the unfortunate ones who come a little too close with whatever blunt instrument you have at hand.
In a new featurette, developer Sandswept Studios sheds light on the world, combat and crafting system. It’s still rough (the game is in alpha now), but the potential is definitely there. I’m especially fond of the Minecraft-like building and fortification system. For example, you can build forts and barricades out of the wood you collect from the trees you cut down. Just hold a plank of wood against an object and hammer it in. More after the break.
If The Dead Linger looks like a zombie game you think you could sink your teeth into, feel free to support it on Steam Greenlight.

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.
