‘Unnerving’ Brings You Back to ‘Silent Hill’, Complete With Fog
To go off of that Silent Hill opening remake a few weeks back, another itch.io developer, MACH31294, has released a demo that seems inspired by the Konami classic.
Unnerving is described as “a simple third-person Survival Horror experience with pixelated textures and low poly graphics, influenced by pc, psx and ps2 survival horror games of the 90’s/early 2000’s, like Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil (1-4) and Silent Hill (Team Silent), as well as 90’s series and movies like The X-Files and Stephen King’s work, among others.”
If that doesn’t get your interest, then perhaps the gameplay video below will get you going. Unnerving really does throw you back into the glory days of the PS1 Survival Horror scene, complete with tank controls and draw distance fog. The demo is short and buggy, but MACH31294 states that as much. Furthermore, the final game is slated to be finished by the end of the year, with three different endings in the works.

Pre-ordering either edition will earn players an Alucard costume.
Taking place in Paris, 1499, Belmont’s Curse will see Trevor Belmont’s and his daughter, Rose Belmont (as opposed to what Sony initially “revealed”), take on Dracula’s foes.
Paris is engulfed in flames as monstrous creatures suddenly emerge from the shadows. Trevor Belmont, the hero who defeated Dracula, ventures into the burning streets with his daughter, Rose Belmont. Armed with the legendary holy whip, the Vampire Killer, they hunt down the beasts bleeding from the looming castle. Rose is soon swept up in the dark conspiracy that lurks beneath. Will she succeed in saving Paris from devastation?
In addition to the Vampire Killer, Rose will have access to the Arcana System. After defeating bosses, including the likes of Medusa, Carmilla and Joan of Arc (?!), the bosses are sealed into Rose’s tarot cards, turning them into Arcana. Players can then use the bosses’ skills to cast spells and obtain unique special actions.
Players will also be able to customize Rose’s battle style by using a variety of equipment, including weapons spanning seven distinct categories and Relics that trigger powerful effects through both offense and defense.
