‘Take This Lollipop’ and Become Part of the Viral Horror Video’s Sequel!
In our modern, technology-fueled world, we are all vulnerable.
Directed by Jason Zada (The Forest) and starring Bill Oberst Jr., Facebook experience Take This Lollipop became a viral sensation back in 2011, even winning an Emmy award the following year, and almost ten years later the follow-up has arrived.
The original 2011 short cleverly used the Facebook Connect application to make Facebook users active participants in the story, which saw a creepy stalker tracking *you* down.
“During the last six months, technology has been the catalyst that has transformed the way we work, socialize and communicate,” Zada told us last month. “Just like the original Take This Lollipop did in 2011, we are going to combine entertainment with seamless technology to frighten a global audience.”
The new experience is like being put directly into Shudder’s Host.
In a blast from the past, developer atooi will release today Dementium: The Ward for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The first-person horror shooter originally got its start on the Nintendo DS back in 2007, before making its way to the 3DS in 2015, and finally landing on the Switch last October.
The PlayStation version of Dementium offers up “crunchy retro” and revamped HD display modes (presumably, this is similar to the free update the Switch version received last year), and has been “built from the ground up for the big screen”. Obviously, the game will lose its touchscreen capabilities from the Nintendo consoles, but will still run at a silky 60 frames per second.
Dementium: The Ward centres around William Redmoor, a man with amnesia, who wakes up in a seemingly abandoned medical ward. He soon finds out that he’s not quite as alone as he initially thought, as demonic creatures are roaming the hospital. Equipped with a flashlight and a nightstick, William must not only fend off the creatures, but also solve puzzles and find the exit and escape.
No word on if the sequel, Dementium II (which was also originally released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS), will be given the same treatment.
