Seeing the recent posts on the upcoming Hellraiser game reminded me of Clive Barker's Undying. Let's take a walk down that memory lane. Launched in 2001, Undying was unique in several ways. It was a PC excluisve developed by EA (so I won't be surprised if you haven't heard or played it); it was one of the early mainstream horror FPS, following Blood/Hexen's ancient trail; and it was very good – a proper horror complete with high quality scares, spooky atmosphere, interesting locales, gripping story and competent shooting. Unfortunately it didn't do well enough to generate a sequel 😣 Today this game is only available on GOG I think. Check it out if you haven't. Honorable mention, well actually the only remaining Clive Barker game, was Jericho. A squad-based shooter out in 2007. It wasn't a bad game, had some good scares and proper shooting too, but by then the genre was already choked full of great titles and it was soon lost in anonymity. Lastly, i feel i should mention – Clive Barker was at one point the closest writer to Stephen King and if you fancy some off the beaten path reading, check out his Book of Blood collection. Phenomenal. submitted by /u/Elyx_117 |
