In developer Totwise Studios’ upcoming sci-fi horror game The Hum: Abductions, an army of pint-sized extraterrestrials descend from the night sky to make sure we’ve turned off our televisions. There’s definitely another reason for their surprise visit, and it’s going to suck when we discover what that reason is, but I’ll admit it did warm the cockles of my heart — a heart they’ll probably want to dissect — when I saw that wee grey man waste no time in switching off the TV.
I see that small gesture as a sign that they care about conserving energy, and by extension, the planet. So when we inevitably lose the war and they stand victorious atop a mountain of charred remains that was once the human race, we can all take some comfort in knowing our home is in good, albeit sickly and spidery, hands.
This new footage was recorded on the HTC Vive, but Totwise has also confirmed it will support for the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PlayStation VR and OSVR (Razer’s) virtual reality headsets. That’s fantastic news when so many other VR horror games are being designed specifically for a certain headset, like Edge of Nowhere (Oculus) or The Brookhaven Experiment (Vive).
The Hum: Abductions releases later this year on PC, Mac and PS4.
