Enter a Waking Nightmare in ‘Never Again’
I know it’s not a huge thing, but remember when horror video games (most notably the Resident Evil series) focused a portion of their gameplay on puzzles? I know, some of the puzzles are admittedly annoying and take you out of the action. But on the other hand, if done correctly, they’re part of the “quiet moments” on the tension rollercoaster, as well as an opportunity to expand the story.
For Primary Games’ Never Again, that seems to be what they’re doing. Set for release on Steam Early Access tomorrow, the game casts you as Sasha Anders, a thirteen year old girl who wakes up after a nightmare to find her world isn’t quite the way she left it. Sasha must find her way out of this new nightmare while trying to find her parents and brother. Adding to her troubles is her asthma, which flares up in frightening situations, giving meaning to the phrase “crippling fear”.
Right now, the game is still being fleshed out, but the Early Access version has some of the building blocks in place (such as puzzles) for a potentially frightening experience.
To find out more about the game, hit up its Steam Page. Or, if you’re keen to try a demo, you can head over to the game’s itch.io page.

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.
