Two New Horror Games Released This Week

Published

A lot has happened this week. Of the great many things that E3 has shown us, no one could have predicted how spectacular the last few days would be for fans of the horror genre. An impressive line-up of games has made this one of the spookiest years in the expo’s history — a welcome departure from previous years, which are often remembered for introducing one or two high profile titles, usually sequels. In addition to offering us a glimpse at the frightening(ly awesome) future we have to look forward to, this week also brought some new stuff for us to play while we wait for the other stuff we just learned about.

PC gamers can have a stab at Behaviour Digital’s asymmetrical multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight that pits a team of four survivors against one of three playable killers inspired by common scary movie archetypes. There’s a chainsaw-wielding hillbilly, an outdoorsy psychopath, and the supernaturally gifted murder ghost.

The survivors and their would-be assassins each come equipped with their own unique abilities that, when combined with the game’s handful of other randomized elements (items, objectives), makes the action in Dead by Daylight both unpredictable and replayable.

The other new-ish release belongs to the atmospheric survival horror game Siren, which made its way to the PS4 this week, just twelve years after it first released on the PS2. Like the other PS2 games that Sony has been working to bring to the PS4, Siren benefits from 1080p up-rendering, and added support for trophies, Shareplay, Second Screen and Remote Play.

PS Plus subscribers may also want to check out the free demo for Resident Evil 7.

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs

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.
