Blumhouse,
the
production
company
behind
a
frankly
absurd
amount
of
horror
movies
ranging
from
utterly
terrible
to
quite
good,
has
announced
that
it’s
entering
the
gaming
scene
by
publishing
six
indie
horror
titles.
The
announcement
was
made
by
Blumhouse
founder
Jason
Blum
who
ambled
onto
stage
at
Summer
Game
Fest
to
present
the
six
titles
that
Blumhouse
Games
will
be
publishing.
Jason
Blum
said
onstage
that
“We
wanted
to
try
to
take
our
approach
to
movies
and
apply
it
to
games,
and
that’s
what
you
see
here.”
“We’re
going
to
do
independent
games,
we’re
going
to
look
for
creators
and
give
them
a
platform,
and
encourage
these
creators
to
be
weird
and
subversive,
and
find
the
most
F’ed
up,
scariest
things
they
can,
and
put
them
into
really
cool
games.”
Blumhouse
has
a
somewhat
divisive
reputation.
On
the
one
hand,
they
are
known
for
favouring
quantity
over
quality
by
pumping
out
a
lot
of
very
low
budget
horror
flicks.
On
the
other
hand,
horror
fans,
myself
included,
are
always
eager
to
chown
down
on
popcorn
and
watch
some
horror,
even
if
it
isn’t
all
that
great.
Fear
the
Spotlight
(Cozy
Game
Pals)
“A
creepy
love
letter
to
classic
90s
teen
horror
stories,
Fear
the
Spotlight
is
designed
for
a
modern
audience.
Sneak
into
a
school
after
hours
with
Vivian
and
Amy,
survive
a
seance
gone
wrong,
solve
tactile
puzzles
and
uncover
the
disturbing
mystery
behind
a
school
tragedy
decades
before.
And
whatever
you
do,
stay
out
of
the
spotlight.
Fear
the
Spotlight
will
be
launching
later
this
year,
and
fans
can
wishlist
the
game
here.”
Crisol:
Theater
of
Idols
(Vermila)
“Dive
into
a
unique
first-person
horror
adventure
where
folklore
and
religion
intertwine
in
a
nightmarish
version
of
Spain.
Players
will
navigate
a
world
steeped
in
eerie
legends
and
sacred
rituals,
facing
terrifying
statues
of
saints
that
come
to
life.
In
a
desperate
fight
for
survival,
the
player
must
sacrifice
their
own
blood
to
use
as
ammunition
against
the
horrors
that
lurk
around
every
corner.”
Grave
Seasons
(Perfect
Garbage)
“A
charming
pixelated
farming
and
town
simulation
game
where,
amidst
all
the
relationship
building
and
crop
harvesting,
players
must
figure
out
which
of
the
townsfolk
is
a
supernatural
serial
killer.
Uncover
the
hidden
secrets
of
Ashenridge,
find
a
way
to
stay
one
step
ahead
of
the
murderer…
and
maybe
save
the
next
victim.”
Sleep
Awake
(Eyes
Out)
“From
Cory
Davis
(Spec
Ops:
The
Line)
and
Robin
Finck
(Nine
Inch
Nails)
comes
a
first-person
psychedelic
horror
set
in
the
far
future.
In
the
last
known
city
on
Earth,
people
are
disappearing
in
their
sleep.
Those
who
remain
exist
in
a
crisis
of
reckless
experiments
to
keep
awake.
Katja
must
navigate
depraved
death
cults,
otherworldly
forces,
and
the
ever-present
horror
of
The
HUSH,
to
save
herself
and
those
who
rely
upon
her.”
The
Simulation
(Playmestudio)
“A
never-before-seen
horror
game
is
the
only
evidence
found
at
a
crime
scene.
As
a
retired
game
designer
hired
to
investigate
the
case,
you
find
a
hidden
mode
that
plunges
you
into
a
rabbit
hole
of
the
unknown.
As
more
obscure
games
are
uncovered,
cross
the
fourth
wall
of
their
worlds
and
delve
deep
into
terrifying
truths
that
transcend
their
own
reality…”
Project
C
(Half
Mermaid)
“An
ambitious
game
from
the
minds
of
Sam
Barlow
(Her
Story,
IMMORTALITY)
and
Brandon
Cronenberg
(Possessor,
Infinity
Pool).
Prepare
to
have
your
mind
broken
by
Half
Mermaid’s
most
twisted
vision
yet.”
