Survival Is Key In The Chilling Indie Horror Game ‘Raindrop’

Published

on

I stumbled across this game while looking for something to play on our YouTube channel and I was immediately hooked. Raindrop is an indie horror game that’s currently seeking the funds — an ambitious $144,000 — through the crow-funding site, Kickstarter. Unfortunately, despite an incredibly promising premise and a gorgeous gameplay teaser, the game is still has only (relative to their goal) raised about $39,000 at the time of this writing.

There are only ten days left in its crowd-funding campaign, but I just had to share this game with all of you. Read on to see Raindrop in action.

According to its Kickstarter page, Raindrop revolves “around a horror themed storyline, the chilling and breathtaking atmospheres will keep you inching around each corner while uncovering the hidden truth behind the complex and its inhabitants. Scavenge items to build objects in order to piece together complex puzzles, or dangerous death traps. Gather hints and schematics to unveil rewards and information. Survive both the haunting environment and your own battered sanity.”

I’m not sure what’s going on in that teaser, but my gut is telling me it has to do with the extraterrestrial. The game has been in development for over five years now, and the team behind it is only made up of two people — Nihad Nasupovic and Max Ramirez. This only makes what they’ve accomplished so far all the more impressive. It’d be a shame to see such a promising indie game fail.

If you would like to support the game, you can do so here. You can also follow 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.
