Watch Indie Sci-Fi Horror Game ‘Negative Atmosphere’ in Action With New Gameplay Trailer
You may remember we recently covered a game project called Negative Atmosphere, a Dead Space-inspired indie sci-fi horror game made by a small team and developed in Unreal Engine 4. Well, that team, Sun Scorched Studios took the first gameplay demo to video game showcase event EGX Rezzed in London last week, and gained a few new fans at the show.
Now the dust has settled, Sun Scorched Studios has released a four and a half minute video of the demo build for all to see. You can watch it in action below.
I also played the demo last week, and while it’s incredibly early days, it’s already pretty effective at building up an intense atmosphere. The fast-paced shuffling enemies that you see in the video were very much not welcome guests at 2am in the dark with headphones on.
Hopefully, the demo’s showing at Rezzed gets Sun Scorched Studios project picked up so it can help fill that blood-soaked sci-fi horror hole in our hearts that Visceral left when it died and Dead Space was left floating in the cold vastness of the IP graveyard.
Amazingly, this small development team is quite youthful, with the oldest member just 25, and the youngest just 16. You can follow its progress a bit closer by visiting its Twitter or Reddit pages.
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.
