Summary
Blumhouse, the film production company behindFive Nights at Freddy’s, M3GAN, and Imaginary, just announced a bunch of games as part of its new initiative to break into the medium, with Fear the Spotlight, a classic PS2-style horror, coming later this year.
It’s being developed by Cozy Game Pals, known for browser games like Ditzy Witchy, Good Doggo, and I’m Still Here.
Blumhouse also reaffirmed thatFive Nights at Freddy’s 2 is in the works right now.
Blumhouse also revealed Crisol: Theater of Idols, Grave Seasons, Project C, SLEEP AWAKE, and The Simulation. So, Blumhouse has six games in the works, all of which we got our very first look at tonight.
Everything We Know About Blumhouse Games
The Blumhouse website now has a ‘Games’ tab breaking down each of the projects that were announced today. Fear the Spotlight is described as a “creepy love letter to classic ’90s teen horror stories, designed for a modern audience.” You’ll be sneaking into a school after dark to uncover the mystery of a tragedy that took place decades before, and as the name suggests, you’ll probably wanna avoid the spotlight.
Crisol is a first-person horror set in “a nightmarish version of Spain”. Statues of saints are coming to life as “folklore and religion intertwine”, and you will have to use your own blood as ammunition to survive.
Grave Seasons is a “pixelated farming and town simulation game” but it’s not as cosy as its cohorts. Blumhouse isn’t exactly known for cutesy, chill movies. Instead, you’ll have to figure out which townsfolk is a serial killer, almost like Stardew Valley if Gus was an axe-wielding murderer.
[In Grave Seasons], uncover the hidden secrets of Ashenridge, find a way to stay one step ahead of the murderer… and maybe save the next victim.
Project C is being developed bySam Barlow(Her Story, Immortality, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories) and Brandon Cronenberg (Infinity Pool), but aside from that, not much is known yet.
Lastly, we have Sleep Awake, developed by Spec Ops: The Lines' Cory Davis and Nine Inch Nails' Robin Finck. It’s described as a “first-person psychedelic horror set in the far future”, taking place in the last city on Earth where people are vanishing while they sleep. You step into the shoes of Katja, investigating death cults and the Hush to save those around you.
