Anybody know what horror games are coming in 2013?

Hi everyone!

There will be a great game coming out in december 2013, but only if it gets funded on kickstarter.

Some of you, may already know the game from Desura, it's free to play there. It's called ERIE.

The free version on Desura is only a prototype. The Developers want to make a Full version of it, which will of course, look and play much better.

The funding isn't going well at all and the developers need more backers.

You can find he project here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mla/erie If you're interested, please pledge!

Thanks!

Erie has a good basic concept (of monster chases), but it needs much better mapping for it to work. Turning narrow corners only to bump into a jumpscare, isn't good gameplay, and neither is mapping so stale that the main tool is a spraycan to be able to tell areas apart. I'm sure that some real life areas can be just as stale, but the player will get bored of it.
Also Erie is like Slender: It has some written story, but it only features a single game mechanic: Running from a monster. That's as complex of a challenge as Minesweeper.
Good luck to the kickstarter, but I don't think the programmers are skilled enough to develop Erie into a good game.
