Claustrophobia Mod Puts “Silent Hills” in “Fallout 4”
Again, it seems less likely we’ll be seeing another traditional entry in the Silent Hill series anytime soon. But thanks to fans, we have many inspirations made by fans that attempt to capture the spirit of Silent Hill and more recently, the cancelled Kojima project, Silent Hills. Then there are other fans who have taken to creating mods in lieu of games. One of the newer mods takes Silent Hill and plunks it into Fallout 4 in “Claustrophobia”.
Described as “a fan homage to the cancelled Silent Hills game”, this 30-minute mod puts the player in a condemned apartment on the outskirts of West Roxbury that’s filled with unkillable monsters and secret notes. In between the creaks and groans heard throughout the complex, mannequins that taunt you, walls that turn inward and a layout that seems to defy explanation, you’ve also got a custom Deathclaw on your tail. It sounds like an extension to the “Devil’s Due” sidequest found in the game, which is a win in my book!
Head to Nexus Mods for download and installation instructions for Claustrophobia, as well as Nexus Mod Manager (which is required to play the mod).
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
