Psychological Horror Game ‘Interpoint’ Feels Like a Horror Version of ‘Portal’
While I never really got into Valve’s Portal series, you can’t deny its innovation and quality. Still, it’d be great if there was a third game. But, until then, Publisher Juvty Worlds and developer Three Dots have a treat in the form of Interpoint, which takes on a far more sinister tone than what Valve gave us.
Set for a Spring 2019 release into Early Access on Steam, Interpoint is a first-person sci-fi mystery with elements of psychological horror. You play as Harry G., a scientist who took part in a project at Delta Laboratories that resulted in the Quantum Entanglement Device. The device allows the opening of portals to countless parallel universes. As these things go, something goes wrong, and Harry finds himself far from home.
Like Portal, Interpoint will give you a weapon which functions more like a tool than anything. The Photon Gun is able to absorb energy from surrounding objects (light from bulbs, gamma radiation from radioactive puddles, force fields in laboratories, etc.) and transform it into something else. This is key, given that you’ll be having to solve puzzles with a variety of solutions as you journey back home. This is all on top of the “twisted story” that delves into conspiracy, and will result in multiple endings.
While the game will hit Early Access first, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 users can expect the game to hit their respective consoles in the Fall.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
