Theft of ‘Friday The 13th: The Game’ Kickstarter Content Codes Discovered
In spite of all the hard work that Gun Media has put into Friday The 13th: The Game (and the resulting accolades), there are some that want to ruin it for everyone. It’s come to light on the game’s Reddit page that someone was selling codes for Kickstarter backer-exclusive content for the game on eBay. Namely, that awesome Tom Savini skin. Gun Media’s Daniel Nixon responded to the post, stating that Gun Media has investigated these sales, and that in doing so discovered “a theft at one of [Gun Media’s] distribution partners,” which led to these codes being sold.
According to Nixon, it was initially assumed that it was “a fan who got in early and purchased extra keys”. However, upon investigation, the theft was discovered. Gun Media has worked to rectify the situation, however, “both [Gun Media] and the [distribution partner] were unaware of the digital portion of the theft until these auctions were brought to our attention.” As a result, Gun Media “will be cancelling any unredeemed codes that have been affected by this theft.” Translation: None of the remaining unclaimed Kickstarter codes will work with the game.
It’s not clear whether the thief was a Gun Media employee, or if they were an employee at Limited Run Games (who sold physical copies of the game). Regardless, it seems that person or persons has effectively screwed fans over for donating. Sad.
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.
