Seek Out Paranormal Activity in ‘Ghost Theory’
Dex developer Dreadlocks has returned to Kickstarter with the goal of funding a supernatural horror game called Ghost Theory that they’re building from the ground up to support, but not require, virtual reality headsets like the Oculus Rift.
Dreadlocks is quick to distance the game from the ever-expanding pool of P.T. successors like Allison Road and Visage, which they’re not looking to emulate. Instead, we’ll follow a clairvoyant paranormal investigator named Barbara as she explores actual haunting grounds scattered all around the world. They’ve even partnered with the owners of castles, churches, asylums, graveyards and various other private properties with histories of paranormal activity so they can rebuild each to be fully explorable in-game, with or without a VR headset.
Ghost Theory will feature a single-player campaign with fully interactive, non-linear environments that have been designed with a focus on stealth and exploration gameplay. There will not be a traditional combat system, so Barbara will need to rely on an array of ghost hunting gadgets and her own clairvoyant abilities to survive.
If they can raise the $141,439 they’re asking for, the plan is have it out on PC by late 2017.
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.
