Norwegian developer Rock Pocket Games has announced their next project, and it’s going to be quite the departure from the colorful, family-friendly mobile titles you probably didn’t know they’ve been churning out since 2008.

With the help of a 500k kr (about $60k) government grant, the studio is looking to combine two of my favorite things — the timeless works of H.P. Lovecraft and the impossibly huge and mostly empty void that surrounds this rock we call home — in a first-person psychological horror game based in hard science fiction called Moons of Madness.

The game’s reveal trailer brings up the appropriate number of questions, as does the curious way in which its developer describes it. According to Rock Pocket, it “has not much in common with SOMA, even less with Alien and even less with Doom.”

So, yeah.

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.
