Someone Dies in New ‘Last Year’ Gameplay Footage

Published

on

Rounding out the weekend’s offering of slasher gaming goodness is some gameplay footage from Last Year, the 5 vs. 1 asymmetrical multiplayer stab ’em up that’s been fairly quiet since it was successfully crowdfunded on Kickstarter back in Dec 2014. Elastic Games recently showed off some of the game, which features nifty abilities for the killers, who can “use trap doors to capture people alive, and trigger an arsenal of environmental hazards to help you hunt down and destroy your victims.”

Meanwhile, the survivors will be tasked with, you know, surviving. This includes scavenging for resources to craft weapons and “build up your defences against an onslaught of Killers,” — incidentally, I now have an idea for a slasher-themed tower defense game, if anyone’s interested.

In this short clip that mostly consists of new gameplay footage, we get to see what it’d look like if the killer was a fan of the original Resident Evil and its memorable hallway scene.

Last Year releases this fall for PC.

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.
