‘Layers of Fear’ Hits Xbox One On Friday

Published

When Bloober Team announced their plans to bring their surprise indie horror hit Layers of Fear to Xbox One Preview — Microsoft’s version of Steam Early Access — later this month, they were just about finished with it. Today, the developer narrowed down that nebulous October release window to this Friday, October 23.

Layers of Fear is a first-person survival horror game inspired by 19th century art that follows a mad painter who’s only trying to finish his masterpiece. In it, you’ll “uncover the visions, fears and horrors that entwine the protagonist and finish the masterpiece he has strived so long to create.”

Sunrises and sunsets are literally the only thing I can paint. I once tried to broaden my horizons by trying my hand at a peacock, but in the end it looked more like something you might expect to see fly from a clown’s nose after a nasty sneeze. Any of you talented with a brush and easel?

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

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.
