Frictional’s Next Horror Game Has Cannibal Robots?
Amnesia developer Frictional Games is giving us a slow tease of their next game, which might be called SOMA. They released another video today — it’s looking like we’ll be getting one video a week — that’s far more unnerving than the last. In it, a trashed robot that thinks its a human is questioned by the same woman from the first video as she tries to discredit the robot’s idea that he is Adam Golaski. Things get weird when the real Golaski starts questioning the robot, eventually asking what his father’s last words were. Spoiler: the robot knew them.
I’m not entirely sure what this game will be about, but Frictional is doing a fine job setting the stage for what sounds like an incredibly creepy near future robo-horror game. Check out the latest video, titled Mockingbird, after the jump.
And here’s the newly decrypted — and extremely fucking creepy — text log to go with it:
A standard UH3 articulated robot, active fluid memory with an approximated intelligence CORRUPT DATA shows a much more active mind CORRUPT DATA spontaneously developed a desire to socialize from observing human interaction?
CORRUPT DATA intelligence first noted by Security Officer Douglas Strohmaier while investigating an automated distress signal coming from Construct Depot 11 CORRUPT DATA Mockingbird had pried another UH3 open and removed its AI-unit CORRUPT DATA made motions resembling those of eating, moving it close to its camera, and making sounds similar to smacking of the lips CORRUPT DATA it introduced itself as Chief Engineer Adam Golaski.
Quarantined in T260 Machine Rep CORRUPT DATA during the night it had taken itself apart. AM Engineer Imogen Reed quickly records an interview in case the Mockingbird would continue its self-destruction. CORRUPT DATA appears there is a real Adam Golaski working at Omicron. Invited Chief Engineer Golaski to talk to the impostor construct.
That sounds like cannibal robots to me.
Have a question? Feel free to ever-so-gently toss Adam an email, or follow him on Twitter and Bloody Disgusting.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
