‘The Hum: Abductions’ Footage Plays Hide and Seek
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.
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.
