Papercraft Horror Game ‘Phantom Halls’ is Getting a Big Free Festive Update [Exclusive]
Phantom Halls turned out to be one of our favorite games of 2018 thanks to its affectionate ribbing of B-Movie horror sensibilities (oh, and Ash from Evil Dead 2 is a DLC character. That helped too) so more of it is always welcome.
So good tidings to its developer Incedium Games for revealing to us exclusively that Phantom Halls is getting a significant free festive update on Christmas Eve. Bringing fresh fun and fear to the game’s haunted houses.
The update will include not only a Christmas-theme addition to the game, but also one for Chinese New Year. Both will feature new quests and new enemy types designed with the related holiday in mind. All for the great big price of nada.
As well as these big themed updates, there will be an expansion to the meta-game, with achievements and improved game stats being added.
Phantom Hall‘s creative director Llexi Leon gave us a brief description of what’s happening in the story of the festive update.
A hospital stay grows more nerve-frazzling when memory loss distorts reality in our exclusive clip from This Tempting Madness, inspired by a true story.
The mind-bending psychological thriller will be released in select theaters and on demand on June 12 via Vertical.
Simone Ashley (“Bridgerton”) stars as Mia, who awakens from a coma, grievously injured, her memory fractured. As she puts the pieces of her past together, she starts to question her own actions and her perception of reality.
In This Tempting Madness, “Mia awakens from a coma grievously injured, her memory fractured. As she puts the pieces of her past together, she starts to question her own actions, and her perception of reality.”
Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
