We have a new survival horror game to look forward to, and it involves the creators of Kholat.
Husk is a first-person collaborative effort that’s being co-developed for PC by UndeadScout and IMGN.PRO. It’s set in the fictional town of Shivercliff — a town I would absolutely move to, just to have Shivercliff in my address — which sort of sounds like some a tourist-eating Devil’s Triangle disguised as Bright Falls. See, there’s a page on the town’s website that opens with a vague tease of the possibility that something might keep you from leaving Shivercliff by calling it “a place you’ll never want to leave…” That sounds nice, you might say. That’s a town you might want to buy a gift shop snow globe from to remember it by, perhaps.
I recommend saving your $3.00, or whatever snow globes cost these days, because that ambiguity transforms into something sinister by the end, where Shivercliff becomes “a place you will not be able to leave.” Is the town cut off from the world somehow, like Silent Hill, or is its invitation for us to be the “next big plot twist” in the lives of its complex locals a euphemism for their inflicting violent murder upon us?
Find out when Husk releases, whenever that is! Until then, enjoy some screens.
