‘Stifled’ Creeps to Halloween Release Date

Published

on

As cool as the concept of Perception is, wouldn’t it be cool if it was in VR? Well, for those adopters of PSVR, Gattai Games’ Stifled may have just the thing for you. And on Halloween, no less.

Yep, the game has been slated for October 31st, according to Gattai’s announcement on the PlayStation Blog. In the game, the world is pitch black. The only way to actually see your surroundings is to make use of your PSVR microphone (think Daredevil, but without Ben Affleck and a leather costume). However, make too much noise, and you alert the creatures lurking in the darkness to your presence.

For those non-PSVR users, the game also has a page on Steam, although no demo has been posted (yet). In the meantime, you’ll have to make due with the demo trailer below.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
