And what will be left of them?
Supermassive Games is gearing up for the launch ofThe Devil in Me,the fourth and final episode in the first season of its scary, (and highly enjoyable) anthology series,The Dark Pictures.Publisher Bandai Namcoreleased a new trailer, focusing on the hapless folk treading, foolhardily, into The Curator’s world.
The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Mewill tell a tale of a party of documentary makers who find themselves invited to a modern replica of the “The Murder Castle” — the opulent estate of America’s first publicized serial killer H. H. Holmes. Seeing this as the opportunity to make the ultimate true crime document, our young protagonists jump at the opportunity, unaware of the horrifying, twisted plans that lay in store…
The trailer introduces heroes Charlie, Kate, Mark, Jamie, and Erin, with quick glimpses offered of a mysterious, cloaked killer and, of course, The Curator himself. Of allThe Dark Picturestitles to date, The Devil in Me looks set to be the most “slasher” based, perhaps eschewingthe supernaturaland/ormonster-based terrorof its predecessors. Horror fans will also spot numerous familiar themes and references, from aShining-esque bar and aTourist Traprange of animatronics, toSaw-style “death traps” and the Giallo overtones of the villain themselves.
The Devil in Me will represent the culmination ofThe Dark Pictures‘ first season, which has bombarded us with a frenzied party of pain and jump-scares over the past four years. Still, with a whole host ofpreviously trademarked titles, and sales still riding relatively high, we can be sure that there are many more thrills and spills currently in the works within the gleefully grotesque minds of Supermassive Games.
The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Melaunches November 18 on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox platforms.
