‘DARQ’ Brings Zero Gravity Horror to Indiegogo
DARQ is so unique in its strangeness that it could only exist if enough of us came together to accept it for the dreamy 2.5D side-scrolling zero-gravity horror game that it is.
It’s the reason why the team at Unfold Games have turned to Indiegogo in the hopes of joining the constantly growing list of crowdfunding success stories that’s already given us horror games about using drugs to see alternate realities, being hunted by robots through a quaint British countryside, and battling debilitating mental illnesses.
With company like that, a psychological horror game set in a zero-gravity lucid dream is exactly the kind of game that should be able to raise $20,000 by the end of January.
Don’t give it all your money just yet. I haven’t even mentioned its Shining-like pacing or its procedurally generated environments that I’m sure will pair nicely with its multiple endings. It’s even getting an original soundtrack composed by Wlad Marhulets (Hitman: Agent 47, The Giver). Is it too late; you’ve donated twice already, just to spite me? Ass.
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.
