Last month, not long after the last traces of Silent Hills had been wiped from existence, we were given a modicum of hope that something good might come from Konami’s bizarre and very public implosion. That hope came in the form of a horror game called Allison Road, which looked eerily similar to the unforgettable P.T. demo that had been used to announce Silent Hills.
The 6-person team that’s behind this promising game aren’t just looking to cash in on an ailing publisher that’s become alarmingly disconnected from their fans, but they are going to try and explore the potential of its universally acclaimed P.T. demo. It won’t be the Silent Hills Kojima and del Toro had in mind, and it doesn’t need to be.
The game’s reveal came at a time when it was guaranteed to get the most attention, and with that momentum still incredibly strong, they’ve begun pursuing the platforms Allison Road will come to.
Quite a lot of progress has been made just this week. The team took to their Facebook page to announce that they had submitted their application to Microsoft to get Allison Road on the Xbox One. PS4 is also being considered, but progress isn’t likely to be made on that until an issue with the developer’s current ISP contract is sorted out.
A campaign was also launched on Steam Greenlight, the gaming’s unofficial battlegrounds for aspiring game developers. Within a day, Allison Road had just about made it into the top 56 games on Steam Greenlight.
