Announced last week, Jed Shepherd, the writer of last year’s horror movie Host, is back with Ghosts, a brand new experience being billed as a real-time, live-action horror game.

Ghosts is said to be a tribute to live-action video games from the 1990s, and the cast of Host including Haley Bishop, Jemma Moore, Emma Louise Webb, Radina Drandova, and Caroline Ward will be reuniting with Shepherd for the exciting hybrid project.

Written and directed by Shepherd, Ghosts will introduce a new horror villain named the Long Lady, designed by Trevor Henderson and being created by the Jim Henson Creature Shop.

We’ve got our first look at the Siren Head creator’s “Long Lady” this week courtesy of three images that are true to Henderson’s unsettling “found footage” style, little teases of the creature that will soon be brought to life by the Henson shop. Check them out below and don’t forget that Ghosts is now being funded through Kickstarter, just about halfway to its goal!

The team explains the project…

“The game takes inspiration from the works of Manx screenwriter Nigel Kneale and the blurring of fact and fiction from the found footage movies of the last 25 years. However, unlike previous games in this oft-forgotten genre we’re creating a horror experience that aims to truly chill your blood and send full motion video games screaming into the modern day.”

“You play a TV producer, operating the outside broadcast van for a failing cable channel called FrighTV. Their flagship show is GHOSTS. It’s the only thing people want to watch on the channel anymore. A show that in its heyday captured millions of viewers on a major channel. Viewers were glued to their screens as the presenter with a team of eager ghost hunters explored haunted locations around the country.”

“When we say real time, we mean real time. The game will only work at 10pm in your local time zone. You’ll be playing at the same time as everyone else in the country.”

The live-action horror game is coming soon from Limited Run Games. It’ll be released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, PC and Mac. A special Collector’s Edition will also be released.

Publisher Gamera Games and developer Pollard Studio have teamed with Wired Productions (the folks who brought us Martha is Dead) to release the psychological horror game KARMA: The Dark World. The game, which has been in development since 2021, is currently slated for a release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. No release date has been announced.

In a press release, Wired Productions managing director Leo Zullo stated that they saw something special with KARMA: The Dark World. “It evokes, emotions and provokes players to think, feel and question everything. Pollard Studio wanted to create an intense cinematic experience, and I’m delighted we’re able to work so closely with them. It’s truly an exciting game that I can’t wait to reveal more about.”

Described as a first-person cinematic psychological thriller set in a dystopian world, KARMA: The Dark World takes place in East Germany, 1984. Players take on the role of Daniel McGovern, a Roam Agent for the omnipresent Leviathan Corporation’s Thought Bureau. You have been brought in to investigate actions that have happened in a very specific moment in time. To do so, Daniel infiltrates the memories of suspects to retrace their steps and piece together his investigations. In doing so, Daniel uncovers fragmented memories of his own lurking within the shadows.

As a Roam investigation officer, you work at night, completing the tasks given by the corporation in complete stealth. Your identity as a Roam Agent is intimidating, giving you leverage to gain entry. Using a combination of investigative tools and their own intellect, players must solve puzzles in order to unravel the truth. Diving into peoples’ minds will have you encountering hallucinations and randomly-changing environments. You have to pay attention to the time and space of your location, as well as observe and spot key personnel and events in order to find your way.
