Here’s Another Nightmarish Trailer For ‘Asylum’
Apparently, I’m a few weeks behind on this trailer, so I’m going to go ahead and blame E3 for my tardiness.
From Agustín Cordes, the maker of Scratches, Asylum is an psychological horror game inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Cordes and developer Senscape are working hard to bring players a terrifying game that’s set in an abandoned asylum. The building itself is being touted as one of the biggest virtual buildings ever created for a video game, with over 100 rooms to explore and around 15 hours of gameplay. I’m psyched.
If exploring a long abandoned mental institute sounds like your cup of tea, you can follow Asylum on Steam Greenlight. The game is currently set for a Halloween 2013 release on PC, Mac and Linux.

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs
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.
