‘P.T.’ Inspired ‘Allison Road’ Hits Steam Greenlight
Last month, not long after the last traces of Silent Hills had been wiped from existence, we were given a modicum of hope that something good might come from Konami’s bizarre and very public implosion. That hope came in the form of a horror game called Allison Road, which looked eerily similar to the unforgettable P.T. demo that had been used to announce Silent Hills.
The 6-person team that’s behind this promising game aren’t just looking to cash in on an ailing publisher that’s become alarmingly disconnected from their fans, but they are going to try and explore the potential of its universally acclaimed P.T. demo. It won’t be the Silent Hills Kojima and del Toro had in mind, and it doesn’t need to be.
The game’s reveal came at a time when it was guaranteed to get the most attention, and with that momentum still incredibly strong, they’ve begun pursuing the platforms Allison Road will come to.
Quite a lot of progress has been made just this week. The team took to their Facebook page to announce that they had submitted their application to Microsoft to get Allison Road on the Xbox One. PS4 is also being considered, but progress isn’t likely to be made on that until an issue with the developer’s current ISP contract is sorted out.
A campaign was also launched on Steam Greenlight, the gaming’s unofficial battlegrounds for aspiring game developers. Within a day, Allison Road had just about made it into the top 56 games 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.
