Moody New ‘Asylum’ Footage Heads to Hanwell
Buckle your seatbelt or I swear by the blood of the Old Ones, I will turn this fucking car around. The only thing that’s worse than dying a slow and terrible death on the cold, unclean floor of an abandoned mental institute is getting thrown face-first through a windshield on the way there. That’s just embarrassing.
I’ve written about Scratches creator Agustín Cordes’ horror adventure game Asylum a number of times over the last few years since its wildly successful crowdfunding campaign raised nearly $120,000 nearly three years ago. It’s been delayed a few times since then, and now it’s almost ready to show us what it’s got.
In this latest video, we’re treated to the first two minutes of the game, in which our silent hero follows in the footsteps of Miles Upshur, unaware of the horrors that await him inside the walls of the Hanwell Mental Institute.
“The intro may look subtle but if you pay attention you might notice disturbing details,” explains Asylum developer Senscape. “Keep in mind this not final and, thanks to the feedback of our Kickstarter backers, we’re working on some small but key changes. We hope you enjoy this preliminar look into our ambitious project that may earn a permanent place in your nightmares.”
There’s no release date for this, but it is a PC exclusive. If this moody gameplay footage is indicative of what the rest of the game will look like, I am absolutely on-board with it. What do you think?
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
