‘Survive the Nights’ Creeps Onto Kickstarter
The post-apocalyptic zombie survival game Survive the Nights is something I’ve covered here before. I’m not a big fan of games like DayZ and H1Z1, but where they embrace — and to some degree even encourage — a bandit mentality among their players, Survive the Nights focuses more on teamwork to survive. It’s for this reason that I’m actually looking forward to it.
Survive the Nights has many of the staples of other games in this genre, like a massive fully explorable world that’s brimming with the undead. You’ll be able to scavenge for supplies, which you can use to craft weapons, gear, and traps. It also has a deep survival system that will have you monitoring your character’s health, calorie intake, body temperature, and even their mental state. The game cleverly uses the latter to discourage bandit behavior by penalizing those who do kill other players with an increasingly unstable mental state.
Every player you kill brings your character closer to a psychotic break, with the end result of all that player-killing being suicide.
So far, Survive the Nights has raised an impressive £5,579 of their modest £12,000 goal. Get familiar with it in the pitch video below.
If you’d like to help them out, you can donate to the game’s Kickstarter here.
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.
