After Resident Evil 7, anything goes when it comes to first person horror titles, and I for one, am into it. Say what you will about RE7 (and a lot of people did), it was an exciting and effective experience, even if it wasn't a "true" Resident Evil title, as many pointed out.
Apparition, the new first person horror title from Fat Dog Games, features real locations and ouija boards. And candles. And creepy freaks trying to kill you.
I'm in.
Apparition is slated for release in 2018.
Official Description:
Apparition is a first-person survival horror game, where the player’s goal is to document ghost activity in a haunted American forest – the Devil’s Tramping Ground in North Carolina. You can communicate with the dead using a Ouija board. This way, the ghosts will be able to answer your questions. You will also be equipped with a video camera to further document paranormal activity. Every piece of evidence comes with extra points and the scores are then shown on the Global Player Board. The forest, in which the game takes place, is not only haunted by ghosts, it is also inhabited by animals.
The player becomes a paranormal activity researcher who roams a presumably haunted forest. During the night the player will fight for more evidence of paranormal presence and… for his own life. The forest is searched by demons, who may be dangerous once the researcher makes himself seen. The location is full of hidden letters written by those who visited the forest and had lived through the nightmare to tell the tale.
Features:
- Different types of ghosts roaming the forests
- Interactive, real life Ouija board that answers your own questions
- Great mix of survival and horror
- Global Player Leaderboard
