‘Ashen Rift’ Kickstarter Becomes an Early Success

Published

on

With more than three weeks left in its crowdfunding campaign, the survival horror game Ashen Rift has already become another success for the horror genre after exceeding its humble $7,608 funding goal by more than a grand. The game follows a man who’s “afflicted with visions of his own death,” and his journey to find answers in a post-apocalyptic, monster-infested wilderness with the aid of his trusty canine companion.

There are still the stretch goals to consider, and to reach the first of them they’ll need to raise $30,000. That’ll unlock 2-3 additional Feeder enemy types, which they say will come in “all shapes and sizes,” with “some relying more on sight, sound or smell than others.”

If you’re interested in helping Ashen Rift reach its stretch goals, or if you’d like to learn more about the game, you can do both on its Kickstarter page.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
