‘Claire’ Is Like A 2D Side-Scrolling ‘Silent Hill,’ Only Better

Published

I recently discovered an extremely promising indie horror game called Claire that I had to share with all of you. It follows a young woman, Claire, who finds herself trapped in a nightmarish world that’s brimming with twisted shadow creatures who are on the hunt… for you. (dun, dun, duuunnnn) While trying to escape Claire will “unravel a connection between herself, the people she is trying to redeem and the force stalking her from the shadows.” It sounds creepy, but it doesn’t really sell itself until you see it in action.

If the gameplay video I have waiting for you in the shadows that lurk beyond that foreboding read more button is anything to go by, Claire almost looks like what a 2D side-scrolling Silent Hill game might look like, if Konami was brave enough to attempt such a thing. It looks fantastic.

If you like what you see you can support Claire on Steam Greenlight.

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.
