You Need to Watch This Debut Trailer for ‘Hunger’
One trailer. One trailer is all it took for a game called Hunger to climb its way to the near-top of my most anticipated list. I’m not sure if developer Tarsier Studios has imbued this trailer with black magic in a Siren-like effort to lure in unsuspecting passersby, or if they’re just ridiculously good at crafting games that appeal to me directly, but I am sure that it no longer matters. I’m hooked.
I’m going to let you watch its debut trailer, then I’ll give you some details.
The premise behind Hunger sounds simple enough. Our mission is to help a young girl named Six as she tries to escape from The Maw — a hellish, monster-infested world that resembles an over-sized, deformed dollhouse. It’s an atmospheric horror platformer they refer to as a “suspense-adventure” game, because “there will be plenty of both.”
Hunger was made possible thanks to a €200,000 development support fund Tarsier Studios received from the Nordic Game and Creative Europe programs. It’s also another reason why I love indie developers, because they give us stuff that looks like this. Granted, it’s nowhere near completion, but so long as the final product doesn’t stray too far from the footage above, we may have a truly unique new horror game to look forward to.
I’ve been trying to think of an adequate way to describe Hunger, but all I’ve been able to come up with is it looks sort of like LittleBigPlanet, if a copy of the game had returned with the starship Event Horizon after it got lost in that freaky hell dimension. Shaped by agony, torment and the clawed hands of Satan himself. I’m still working on it.
The art style is what immediately drew me in. This is a gorgeous game, with visuals that remind me a lot of Among the Sleep’s similarly quirky look.
That’s all I’ve got for now, but expect to hear more from Hunger in the very near future.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
