Experience VHS-Style Horror Gaming (in Five Minutes) With ‘September 1999’

Published

on

Would you play a game that you can complete in around five minutes? 98DEMAKE is banking on that with their free horror title, September 1999. Available on 98DEMAKE’s itch.io site, the game is pretty simple atmospheric horror game where you walk down a hall with a camcorder, recording your progress (and the increasing tension).

According to the devs, the game is “pretty much an experiment on the whole ‘watching a tape’ style of gameplay.” The game closes itself once you complete it, so no fumbling around wondering if it’ll restart once you complete it on your coffee break.

If you are interested, you can toss 98DEMAKE a few coins their way on Patreon for their efforts. They’re apparently working on other projects as well, so why not?

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.”
