‘DUSK’ Episode Two now Available; Duskmatch Coming Soon
Those who were looking for an awesome throwback to the mid-90s craze of 3D first-person shooters found solace in New Blood Interactive’s DUSK, which had its first episode launch earlier this year. Even our own Jimmy Champane enjoyed it. Well, the second episode for the game (entitled “The Facilities”) is now out for your enjoyment, and it packs the same action as the first.
For those unaware, in DUSK, you take on the role of a nameless treasure hunter (appropriately nicknamed “DuskDude”), who’s heard rumours of hidden riches in the rural town of Dusk, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the town is above a huge network of “Lovecraftian ruins”, that in typical Doom fashion, were planned to be harnessed by government military personnel, but have instead unleashed an unspeakable evil that’s possessed the town’s inhabitants. You get caught, slapped on a meathook, and must now escape the town.
Backed by an awesome soundtrack by Andrew Hulshult (who also did the soundtrack for the 2013 remake of Rise of the Triad, and remade the original Doom soundtrack), this is easily something for those who grew up on Quake, Blood, and the scores of “me-too” FPS games that made PC gaming awesome in the mid 90s. The third as yet untitled episode is due in 2018, and will also include a multiplayer component that again harkens back to deathmatches of old (which you can see below).
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.
