[PAX East 2018] Explore Psychological Horror with ‘The InnerFriend’ This September

Published

on

Taking influence from 80s horror and the likes of Stanley Kubrick, Montreal-based studio Playmind recently unveilled their PAX East trailer for their upcoming psychological horror game, The InnerFriend. Described as a surrealist representation of memories and fears within a rich visual environment, players must navigate their surroundings in this narrative-driven game as it attempts to tackle the concept of coping mechanisms and child psychology.

The story for the game has the player being led by a mysterious Shadow as they face fears and nightmares inhabiting the Shadow’s materialized subconscious universe. The player must relive the Shadow’s childhood memories, collect them, and restore what was once its safe haven. If this doesn’t veer into the realm of Jacob’s Ladder (which, come on, isn’t it one of your favourites, too?), I don’t know what does.

The InnerFriend will be available for PS4, Xbox One & PC this September.

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.
