‘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.
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.
