I didn’t need a reason to fear my phone, I already get plenty anxious every time it makes a noise. When it rings, I cautiously pick it up like I’m in a horror movie and I’ve just found something curious on the floor of the serial killer’s cabin.
The augmented reality horror game Night Terrors aims to take that illogical fear to an entirely new level by turning our phones into fun little gateways to Hell. Open it and your home will be filled with a variety of demonic entities and horrific specters not meant to be seen by human eyes.
Night Terrors developer Novum Analytics raised $46,732 last summer via a flexible funding campaign on Indiegogo that didn’t reach its ultimate goal of $70,000. Novum wanted to give us the “scariest game ever made” so they came up with a system that “understands where you are in your environment” and uses that information against you in some truly frightening ways.
Novum recently started a second Indiegogo page so those who missed out on the first could get in on the action. Night Terrors arrives this Halloween on iOS and Android for $5.99.
