Yes–We have been running an unusually high number of horror gaming stories as of late, but these are new and exciting times. Never before has technology been at a point where we can actually “live” the sort of horrible events that we’ve seen depicted on screen. We can browse for clues in a mysterious haunted house or live inside the mind of a madman in his quest for answers. We can be heroes, or in the case of the new photo-realistic horror experience THE WORKS OF MERCY–we can be murderers.
No this isn’t BRAINSCAN becoming a reality, but it isn’t that far from it.
Works of Mercy Concept Animation
THE WORKS OF MERCY is called a “deeply disturbing, horribly convincing video game in which the protagonist is forced to do the killing”. It’s a pretty unique idea, and while the premise couldn’t be any more primal or horrifying–the visual fidelity couldn’t be more awe-inspiring. When the team throws out terms like photo-realistic; they mean it.
I know what you’re thinking. . . What are the chances these guys actually release a game? If something seems too good to be true in crowdfunding–it often can be. But fear not. This a team of seasoned game developers that have made integral contributions to games such as The Witcher and Call of Juarez. These aren’t a few scrubs trying to snatch some money and bail. Hell, they already have a playable demo ready for backers of the project. And yes, we hope to be giving you a look at that in the very near future.
Still not convinced? I’m not sure what more I can say other than THROW YOUR MONEY AT THESE PEOPLE!!
For those of you that may not consider yourself the “gaming” type, neither am I. But I have learned in the last couple of years that my most terrifying experiences aren’t coming from films anymore, they’re coming from games. There’s a sense of immersion in this platform that you simply cannot achieve elsewhere. Did I mention THE WORKS OF MERCY has virtual reality support as well… yeah. This is the future, folks. Welcome it.
