Here’s Another Nightmarish Trailer For ‘Asylum’

Published

Apparently, I’m a few weeks behind on this trailer, so I’m going to go ahead and blame E3 for my tardiness.

From Agustín Cordes, the maker of Scratches, Asylum is an psychological horror game inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Cordes and developer Senscape are working hard to bring players a terrifying game that’s set in an abandoned asylum. The building itself is being touted as one of the biggest virtual buildings ever created for a video game, with over 100 rooms to explore and around 15 hours of gameplay. I’m psyched.

If exploring a long abandoned mental institute sounds like your cup of tea, you can follow Asylum on Steam Greenlight. The game is currently set for a Halloween 2013 release on PC, Mac and Linux.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
