‘Silent Hill’ Meets ‘Session 9′ in Loveridge Designs’ ‘The One We Found’
Let’s face it: Mental institutions are not nice places. Films like Session 9 touch on the potential creepiness of an abandoned institution, while games like Loveridge Designs’ upcoming The One We Found? They look to exploit it in other ways.
Releasing this October 31st for Steam and Xbox One, The One We Found puts you in the role of James Ledgewick, a psychotherapist at the Whisperwood Mental Institution. Recently, a cave network was discovered under the institution that has unearthed some no-so-nice findings. Officials sent to investigate never returned. It’s up to James to descend into the labyrinth and uncover the mystery of Whisperwood before the evil escapes and unleashes hell on earth.
From the look of the trailer, there’s definitely a Silent Hill vibe going on with the grimy interiors, the cryptic messages (“Im [sic] waiting James”), and even mannequins! Sure, it might be cliché, but if you do it well, it’s a nice send-up that fans will appreciate. You’ve also got to content with ex-patients running amock, so that’s a new one.
Hit the game up on Steam for more info.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
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.”
