‘Among the Sleep’ Xbox One Release Delayed Due to Technical Difficulties

The wait for Among the Sleep on Xbox One just got a wee bit longer. In a recent update, developer Krillbite Studio confirmed the latest port of their first-person psychological horror game had run into some minor technical issues related to the Unity 5 engine.

Krillbite’s been quietly supporting the game since its arrival on Steam nearly two years ago. A prequel chapter was added to the game, for free, at the end of 2014, and the version PS4 owners got in December overhauled its visuals by replacing its dated engine for the new-and-improved Unity 5. The Steam version was brought up-to-date last month.

Among the Sleep has been a moderately polarizing game. Its been criticized for its relatively brief running time, clumsy controls and a general lack of scares. Those flaws are absolutely worth enduring, in my opinion, for its wonderful atmosphere, gorgeous art style and clever platforming.

While we’re waiting for its Xbox One port to get here, check out our post-mortem for an in-depth look at how Krillbite turned a novel idea for a story about a curious two year-old into a promising concept for a game that would go on to raise a quarter of a million dollars on Kickstarter.

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.
