Claustrophobia Mod Puts “Silent Hills” in “Fallout 4”

Published

on

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).

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
