At the Summer Games Fest Blumhouse Games announced a handful of new games to be coming soon all created by different indie developers.
“In many ways, Blumhouse Games feels like going back to our roots, with a focus on indie horror, pushing boundaries and elevating new, original stories. But this time fans can get in on the action, and immerse themselves in the Blumhouse world,
I’m proud of the team and we hope this first slate of games will entertain, thrill and terrify players, and we will have more in store for fans soon.”
Fear the Spotlight
Fear the Spotlight is a tribute to 90s teen horror stories, developed by Cozy Game Pals, and designed for a modern audience. Join Vivian and Amy as they sneak into school after hours to perform a seance, but in a series of unfortunate events everything goes wrong. You’ll solve tactile puzzles and uncover the horrifying mystery of the tragedy at the school that happened decades ago. But whatever you do, stay out of the spotlight.
Fear the Spotlight will be launching later this year.
Sleep Awake
Developed by EYES OUT, a game from Cory Davis (Spec Ops: The Line) and Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails) comes a first-person psychedelic horror called Sleep Awake. Set in the far future in the last known city on Earth, people can’t get a good night’s sleep without disappearing. Those who are left are conducting reckless experiments to keep themselves from falling asleep. Katja must survive death cults, otherworldly forces, and what is known as The HUSH, so that she can save herself and those that she cares about.
The Simulation
Playmestudio is handing you the only evidence found at a crime scene. You’ll play as a retired game designer who was hired to investigate the case. As you stumble across a hidden mode you’ll plunge into a rabbit hole of the unknown. As you dive deeper and deeper you’ll uncover even more obscure and unsettling games to find the terrifying truths that transcend their own reality.
Grave Seasons
Grave Seasons is a charming farming and town simulation game developed by Perfect Garbage. If you thought that was all you’d be dead wrong, amid the relationship building and crop harvesting players are going to be tasked with finding out which of the townsfolk is actually a supernatural killer. Work as fast as you can to uncover the hidden secrets of Ashenridge and try your best to stay one step ahead of the murderer and maybe you have a chance of saving the next victim.
Crisol: Theater of Idols
Experience a unique first-person horror adventure where religion and folklore will create a horrifying mashup in a nightmareish version of Spain. Developed by Vermila Studios, Crisol: Theater of Idols is a first person shooter where players will have to sacrifice their own blood to use as ammunition against the horrors that are lurking around every corner.
Code Name: Project C
Lastly, code named Project C, an ambitious game from the minds of Sam Barlow (IMMORTALITY) and Brandon Cronenberg (Infinity Pool), this game promises to be Half Mermaid's most twisted yet.
