Enter a WWI Psychological Horror Adventure in Mistaken Visions’ ‘The Piano’
In the mood for a Great War-era psychological horror game? Developer Mistaken Visions and Game If You Are have one for you in The Piano, which just had its launch teaser dropped today. Originally scheduled for release last year, the Hamburg-based indie developer opted to go back and fine-tune the game based on tester feedback, which also involved partnering with indie game consultancy, Game If You Are. The result is a fully voice acted cast of characters and revamped graphics.
In The Piano, the player is cast as John Barnerway. Born to an American father and a French mother in the aftermath of World War I, John has has to live his young life in the shadow of his three older brothers, who are renowned pianists. Or were. After their murders, John is fingered as the one responsible, and now finds himself at the centre of a media witch-hunt. John must now walk the streets of Paris in search of answers to not only clear his name, but find the one responsible.
Meshing together survival horror and adventure elements under a noir aesthetic, The Piano will have the player gathering clues and solving puzzles in order to uncover the truth, while also avoiding foes that stalk the Paris streets. The game is set for release this Spring on Steam (which you can check out its page here).
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.
