Survive a Cross-Country Journey in ‘Dead Man’s Trail’
Almost every old-school gamer remembers playing The Oregon Trail in school. Well, except for me (Cross Country Canada for the win). Anyhow, what if you took The Oregon Trail, and threw zombies into the picture? Well, that’s exactly what Pie For Breakfast Studios have done with Dead Man’s Trail.
Slated for release later this spring, Dead Man’s Trail has you leading a group of survivors across the country in hopes of making it out alive. Each member of your team has their own expertise that will be key to your survival. Whether it’s being an expert in firearms, a paramedic or a mechanic, it’s imperative that you keep your team happy and healthy as you make your way across the procedurally-generated landscape. Lose one member, and you’ll be hampered in that area for the rest of the way. Instead of a wagon, you travel in zombie apocalypse style, looting abandoned cities for supples in either a pickup truck, a school bus, or tractor trailer.
Right now, Dead Man’s Trail is currently in the process of getting onto Steam Greenlight (check out their page here), so give it a vote if you’re keen on it. For more info on the game, hit up the official site for the game’s production progress, including screenshots and videos.
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.
