Avant-Garde Horror ‘Tangiers’ Closes in On Beta
Bristol-based indie developer Alex Harvey has shared another update for his crowdfunded stealth game Tangiers, confirming there will be a beta in just a few short weeks.
Tangiers was on its sway to becoming another crowdfunding success story after it successfully raised £42,000 on Kickstarter in 2013. The game hasn’t had the smoothest development since then, but none of those obstacles were able to keep it from happening.
Like many other stealth games, Tangeirs is heavily inspired by the Thief series, so it will involve a lot of sneaking, hiding in the shadows, and a distinct visual style. The description on its Kickstarter page throws around some intriguing terms like [William S.] Burroughs, the Dada movement, and David Lynch as sources of inspiration. In that case, expect plenty of freaky moments and, in the words of its developer, avant-garde visuals set at the early outset of the 20th century.
In it, you play as a character new to this surreal world who must then get rid of five other “beings.” The game shifts around the player, or is never standard to begin with — hence the surrealist language — so that environments are incomprehensible, throwing players off from their normal conceptions of reality and design.
Tangiers doesn’t have a release date, but it will be coming to PC, Mac and Linux.
The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
