‘Phantom Halls’ Set for Halloween 2018 Release, Final Push Kickstarter Launched

Published

Good news for fans of Incendium Games’ Phantom Halls, as it’s been announced that the game will be headed for a 1.0 launch this Halloween “come hell or high water”. However, the team needs a little time in order to polish the game. In anticipation, the team has launched a Kickstarter campaign in order to continue to make that final push. The Kickstarter launched last week, and is scheduled to run until April 13th. It’s only £30,000, so it’s not an exorbitant amount.

“There’s really only so much that we can do with a small indie team working remotely and mostly part-time without dedicated funding,” explains Incendium Games’ creative director, Llexi Leon. “There’s so much we’d like to see in Phantom Halls and we’re doing our best to deliver the ultimate version of the game for players everywhere, ideally on every platform. Plus, having input from the community has made for a smoother and deeper gaming experience that we’re continually refining. We’d love to see a new group of players contribute to the community, providing a fresh set of eyes on the game’s campaign and another wave of player feedback in the run up to retail release.”

If you haven’t already given the game a look, what’s stopping you when you have Ashley J. Williams as a playable character? Head over to the Steam page and get busting.

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.
