Search For Answers And Sanity in ‘Infliction’

Published

on

It’s tough being an indie game developer, especially if it’s a one-person project. Take Caustic Reality’s Infliction, which is currently in development by just one man, Clinton McCleary, and has been for over two and a half years. The game is currently on Steam, but in a rarity for this day and age, there’s a demo available on the game’s Steam page.

The premise for Infliction was inspired by Clinton’s own fears as a new father, with the thought of “this could be happening right next door”. The game puts you in a seemingly normal-looking suburban home. However, as you wander the halls, reading letters and listening to voicemails, you find out things are anything but normal. You also find out that you’re not alone in the house, as whatever remained from the horrible events that happened before is now after you. As you hunt for clues to piece together what went on in the house, that something is hunting you.

Currently, Clinton is running a Kickstarter to hire an animator to give the game polish, but regardless of how the Kickstarter turns out, the game will be released in October this year. If you’re so inclined, you can support the project on Kickstarter here. You can also check out the official site for more info on the game.

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

Published

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.
