Indie Horror Game Project ‘Negative Atmosphere’ Aims to Fill the Void Left By ‘Dead Space’
If it’s not miserable enough to remind you that Silent Hill is 20 today and yet has no signs of life as a franchise, I may as well throw a reminder that Dead Space is also looking like a goner. It seems the only way these games are coming back is through the works of others inspired by those franchises.
In the case of Dead Space‘s influence, look no further than the indie horror game project Negative Atmosphere, a promising concept on the horizon that looks to capture the essence of the space-faring survival horror (and even a bit of System Shock for good measure).
In development for only a matter of months, Negative Atmosphere has shown great potential. Its creator Calvin Parsons had initially started the project alone, but now has a small team and with the help of backers, hopes to create an hour-long vertical slice to release for free in order to drum up interest for a Kickstarter fund for a full game.
Have a gander at some brief clips and screens of how it’s looking so far.
You can clearly see its influences, and that’s no bad thing. If EA isn’t going to do something with what it has, then someone else might as well do so.
If you fancy contributing to the project, you can head to the project’s Patreon fund and donate there. Otherwise, there’s a Reddit and a Discord channel to keep up to date with the project.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
