‘Phantom Halls’ Set for Halloween 2018 Release, Final Push Kickstarter Launched

Published

Good news for fans of Incendium Games’ Phantom Halls, as it’s been announced that the game will be headed for a 1.0 launch this Halloween “come hell or high water”. However, the team needs a little time in order to polish the game. In anticipation, the team has launched a Kickstarter campaign in order to continue to make that final push. The Kickstarter launched last week, and is scheduled to run until April 13th. It’s only £30,000, so it’s not an exorbitant amount.

“There’s really only so much that we can do with a small indie team working remotely and mostly part-time without dedicated funding,” explains Incendium Games’ creative director, Llexi Leon. “There’s so much we’d like to see in Phantom Halls and we’re doing our best to deliver the ultimate version of the game for players everywhere, ideally on every platform. Plus, having input from the community has made for a smoother and deeper gaming experience that we’re continually refining. We’d love to see a new group of players contribute to the community, providing a fresh set of eyes on the game’s campaign and another wave of player feedback in the run up to retail release.”

If you haven’t already given the game a look, what’s stopping you when you have Ashley J. Williams as a playable character? Head over to the Steam page and get busting.

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.”
