Modder Removes Risk of Being Stabbed to Death While Admiring ‘Alien: Isolation’

Published

Last October, Creative Assembly set a new bar for the Aliens franchise, which had endured a number of failed attempts at bringing the magic of the films to video games. Alien: Isolation felt like a natural extension of the series, with environments that looked like actual movie sets and an unpredictable alien that was legitimately terrifying.

The alien wasn’t the only foe that roamed the Sevastopol, but even when it wasn’t actively prowling the same dark corridors as Amanda Ripley, the creature’s fondness for surprise vent attacks ensured its presence was always felt.

Without the threat of getting sucker-stabbed through the chest because I made the mistake of giving my trigger finger a few seconds to relax, I might’ve been able to enjoy the incredible amount of detail that makes Alien: Isolation such a visually stunning game. It might also emphasize the Isolation bit, so you’ll have to ask yourself: would you rather be lonely or spend every second in a cold sweat, waiting to meet a horrifically painful death?

If it’s the former, you may want to check out this mod from Steam user [Lebowski]-=ThArK=-.

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.
