‘Night Terrors’ Looks Absolutely Terrifying
Game developer Bryan Mitchell is intent on making sure you never, ever feel safe in your home again. And the way he’s doing it is by creating Night Terrors, a new mobile game that uses your phone’s camera to turn your home into a haunted house. The project is currently seeking funding through Indiegogo to the tune of $70,000, of which they’ve already raised just under $4,000 in 24 hours.
The game is meant to take place only at night when it’s dark and offers the following thoughts:
Think about a system that understands where you are in your environment, and is able to exploit that information in order to create an unbelievable augmented reality experience.
Think about playing a game where the storyline involves you. Consider a future full of movies you star in, experiences that seem real, and scenarios, in our case, that are freakishly frightening.
This is in your house. This is in your apartment. This is in your environment.
This is Night Terrors.
Look, I’m all for playing a scary game in the dark to make things very unsettling. But turning my home into the stage for ghosts and other haunting specters? Yeah, I’m going to have to pass on that. All aboard the “Fuck That” express with a direct line to Nopesville!
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
