Aspyr Games Reveals Dark Sci-Fi VR Game ‘Torn’
Aspyr Games (the publishers behind Layers of Fear and Observer) have tossed another hat into the horror VR ring with the debut trailer of their upcoming project set in 1953 called Torn, which according to Aspyr Games, takes inspiration from The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror.
Set for release this coming Tuesday, August 28th on Steam, PlayStation Network and the Oculus Store (you can also check out the official site), the game centres on a scientist known by the name of Dr. Lawrence Talbot, who has disappeared while being on the verge of making a breakthrough discovery in his research 64 years ago. The exact location of his home, laboratory and his work have remained a mystery. That is, until the player, video blogger Kathrine Patterson, accidentally stumbles upon Talbot’s home. It turns out that the doctor is still alive. He’s just no longer in this dimension.
It’s up to the player to reactivate the machines that bring Talbot’s mansion to life. Using Dr. Talbot’s gravity devices (and hearkening back to Half Life 2), players will be able to move and manipulate objects in their environment in order to solve the array of puzzles found in the game’s world. Along the way, you discover the not-so-pleasant truth of Talbot and this dimension he resides in called “The Parallel”.
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.
