Silent Hill and Twin Peaks inspired ‘HUSK’ scares its way onto Steam

It’s 1995, you’re Matthew Palmer, and you’ve just woken up after a train crash. There’s nobody around. In particular, there’s no trace of your wife and daughter. The only sign indicating where you are says: Welcome to Shivercliff…

Shivercliff – a small town somewhere on the coast. Once beautiful and lively, with gift shops and tourists visiting the nearby lighthouse, wharf, and forests. Now discouragingly empty with a vague sense of danger hanging in the air like something that hangs (nailed it).

Shivercliff is a place where you’ll be forced to face your worst nightmares (I sure hope not), solve mysteries, and survive the never-ending darkness. A place that will make you answer one, important question: Do you have what it takes to look your demons in the eye and find your family? Answer: Probably not, but they had a good run and we were never really that close anyways.

Husk is a purebred horror game inspired by the classics of the genre such as Silent Hill and Alan Wake. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, the game is dripping with a 1990s climate and atmosphere. Offering up narration and some really spooky looking opponents, Husk at the same time raises important questions about domestic violence and alcohol addiction.
