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.
The game, developed by UndeadScout, debuts today on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/553960/) and other major digital platforms, including Amazon, Green Man Gaming, GamersGate, and the Humble Store, for $19.99
