‘Albino Lullaby’ Doesn’t Need Jump Scares to Be Terrifying
Jump scares can be an effective, albeit cheap, tactic for keeping a player on the edge of their Cheetos-stained seat. The horror adventure game Albino Lullaby is being considerably more original with its scare tactics by swapping out the gore and jump scares we see in so many horror games these days with a psychedelic color palette and monsters that look like thumbs with teeth.
This “Lynchian psychological nightmare” is set in a Victorian town inhabited by creatures called The Grandchildren. With a twisted narrative and a world that’s constantly changing, Albino Lullaby looks like one of the more original horror games we’ve seen this year.
It also has full VR support, if you’d really like to see the creatures’ butt chins up close.
Albino Lullaby: Episode 1 is available now on Steam for $9.99. For $24.76, you can get all three episodes and the game’s original soundtrack.
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.
