‘Contagion’ Infects VR With ‘Contagion VR: Outbreak’
Monochrome’s zombie shoot-’em-up Contagion (not to be confused in any way with that awful Day of the Dead 2: Contagium) has made the leap to VR. Contagion VR: Outbreak is out now, albeit currently in Early Access.
Like the original game which left Early Access four years ago, Contagion VR has you blowing away zombies with friends while barricading yourselves against the oncoming masses, but this time around, you get to do it in VR. The game will support Oculus, Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets, and is expected to remain in Early Access for the next year. By the end, Contagion VR will feature a 10-hour story campaign, professional voice acting, more multiplayer game modes and non-VR support.
Given that the game is still in Early Access, it still needs a bit of love, but if you’re curious as to the experience, there’s a demo available on the game’s Steam page. And if you absolutely want to support Monochrome, the Summer Steam sale is still on, with the game having a 10% discount.
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.
