A game like this booted up on a dark night when you’re completely alone seems like a sure-fire way to shit your pants.

Night Terrors is an alternate reality game where you use your phone to see digital terrors. In a way, it looks a lot like the house-centric horrors P.T. offered on the PS4—except in real life, and therefore potentially way, way scarier:


While it does seem have some jump scares, I think what really sells this is the audio. Like the Silent Hills demo, it seems as if a built-in radio will narrate some of the experience, and the things the game says are kind of eerie. Note, for example, how the radio guy goes on about how this is all in your head. When the player stands still, he actually notes it! It’s kind of cool.

The developers say that the game understands where you’re standing, and actively uses that information to craft your experience. “The camera and microphone feeds are analyzed and processed in real time,” they note on Night Terror’s Indiegogo page. “Photorealistic elements are added to the camera feed. Audio is spatialized, mixed with the microphone feed, and then routed to the headphones delivering an immersive binaural audio experience.” Binaural audio, as you may know, is special in that it aims to make the user physically feel stuff. When it’s successful, it’s pretty damn good—the most terrifying creepypasta experience I’ve ever had involved binaural audio, which activated at a key point during the story. Probably the most intense feeling of dread a game has made me feel, all thanks to the audio. It’s hard to say if Night Terrors will succeed on that same front, but the potential is at least there.

I also like that since the game takes place on your phone, it creates that an authentic sort of ‘found footage’ feel. Could be effective!

Night Terrors is hoping to raise $70,000 on Indiegogo. Currently, they are almost halfway there.

NNNNNNNOOOPPPPEEEEE, no no no no no.

Screw that, if there was ever a way of making you scared of your own house, this is it.

But woaw, really well done, I think this would make a great game, it seems really well done, Seeing as it is on your phone you choose where you want to be scared. But I do sense a problem, a lot of phones are going to be destroyed because of this game.

I think they should be able to reach their goal, and I hope they do, I may not be a horror fan but this looks really interesting and I w ant to see what they do with it.
 
Looks interesting. The tech behind it must be quite involved, how the game is able to detect through the camera what the surroundings are. Probably more a thing you show to your friends for 5 minutes rather than a full narrative title though. I'd download it for sure however.

Haha I can just imagine how people will throw their phones and tablets stukkend when viewing this rofl. I'd watch a youtube compilation of that! :p
 
if they turned it into a game of sorts like fatal frame where you take the pic and defeat the creature then it would be awesome !
