[Kickstart This] ‘Hellhunter’ Looks Like ‘Diablo’ Meets ‘Paranormal Activity’

Published

on

I was recently turned onto an upcoming game from Ballistic Interactive by the name of Hellhunter. What caught my attention was that it was described as a “horror RPG”, which are two genres that don’t get mixed all too often. Sure, there was Bloodborne and Camp Sunshine but those are the last ones that immediately spring to mind. I guess that’s why my curiosity is so piqued with Hellhunter, because I’m a fan of everything it seemingly has to offer.

The purpose of the game is that your character is a paranormal investigator who also just so happens to need to hunt the spooks and specters that you come across. The game plays from an angled top-down perspective and it looks fluid and dynamic. The character moves effortlessly, the environment feels alive (especially when it comes alive), and the lighting is damn solid.

In the video below, you’ll see how everything is laid out. Personally, I see a lot of Diablo and Paranormal Activity mixed with elements of Parasite Eve. What makes it all the more impressive is that this game is being developed by only two people, Ariel Chai and Pete Skyking. The amount of detail happening here is incredible and it’s obvious that these two are killing it!

If you want to support the game, give it a boost on Kickstarter.

Hellhunter plans to come out on PC, Mac, and Linux through Steam. You can keep up-to-date with the game on its official website.

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.”
