Kickstarter Campaign Launched for Story-Driven Horror Title ‘HELP ME!’ [Trailer]

Published

on

Madmind Studio last year announced their collaboration with developer Black Rat Studio to publish their story-driven first-person horror title HELP ME!. Per Rely On Horror, Madmind Studio has now launched a Kickstarter campaign for the new project, which if successful, will see a launch in 2023 on PC via Steam.

HELP ME! takes place in present-day Kazakchstan, and centres on a man named Maxim. Maxim’s father is missing, and the only connection to his disappearance is Maxim’s mysterious nightmares. However, as more family secrets are revealed, the more the line between Maxim’s dreams and reality blurs.

Gameplay for HELP ME! consists of exploring the environment while collecting the necessary items to solve puzzles and progress. Along the way, your deepest nightmares follow your every move, watching you and messing with your mind. You’ll be making use of your trusty smartphone to take pictures, light your way, as well as contact family members.

As is the norm, the Kickstarter campaign has several contribution levels, with the €7 goal giving you early access to the game’s demo, though no date for the demo has been announced as of yet. “Our goal is to do our very best to complete the game as outlined by our funding and stretch goals,” explains Black Rat Studios.

Originally conceived of by a team of modders, the Killing Floor franchise has entertained (and horrified) more than 30+ million players worldwide, delivering years of guns, gore, and co-op mayhem. As part of the franchise anniversary celebrations, Killing Floor 2 will be free-to-play from May 16-20 on Steam, the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, the Xbox One and Xbox Series, and is on sale on all storefronts, including the Epic Games Store.

Fans can check the official Killing Floor social channels for specifics on these special anniversary, as well as the limited time discounts on Killing Floor 2. All progress made and rewards earned during this free weekend will be carried over to full accounts following purchase, including Perk levels and weapon unlocks.

Meanwhile, the first developer diary for Killing Floor 3 is also available, which “drills into the bloody history and legacy of the franchise, and how the studio is returning to its horror roots with the upcoming sequel.”

Killing Floor 3 is currently in development for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series. No release date has been announced as of yet.
