Dinosaur Survival Horror Game ‘Goner’ Launching Kickstarter Campaign Next Month; Teaser Trailer Released
Deathground isn’t the only upcoming game jumping on the lack of dinosaurs in survival horror. Loco Players’ Goner is about to launch on Kickstarter, and is looking to offer a slightly difference approach.
Launching on Kickstarter on August 4th, Goner tells the story of one Anthony Sunder. When Anthony’s mother goes missing on a mysterious island, he decides to go there himself and sort things out. However, upon arrival, Anthony finds out that the island is full of people out for his blood. Oh, and the island is crawling with dinosaurs.
As alluded to above, Loco Players are looking to differentiate Goner from other survival horror fare by focusing on the story. That’s along with the various ways you end up getting killed in the game, as the trailer demonstrates. And, depending on the success of the Kickstarter campaign, the devs are hoping to bring the game to VR.
You can find out more info on Goner by visiting the official site or hitting up the official Twitter account.
Kudos to DreadXP for this.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
