It may only be September but the season of horror is well and truly upon us as we slowly encroach on Halloween. While the Triple A horror game has become relatively defunct during this current generation – at least if you favour survival over big guns – the independent scene has found its niche in provoking absolute terror, producing some of the scariest games ever made over the past few years. Two of which were released this month, treating horror fans to an anxious couple of weeks; swathing both keyboard and mouse in nervous sweat as deranged psychopaths and Lovecraftian monsters stalk our monitors and creep into our nightmares.
Footage from what appears to be a prototype build of Red Barrels' first-person psychological survival horror game, Outlast, has emerged.
This sounds interesting. Red Barrels is teaming up with Lionsgate and renown horror producer Roy Lee to develop a feature film anchored in the rich and horrifying universe of the Outlast series.
It has to be. I hope they learned with Borderlands that PG-13 is not the way if the source material is an M-Rated game.

Very safe list of horror games. I would argue that Amnesia Machine for Pig was not that great. Dark Descent was much a much better game.
Far better games have been released in this genre (Dead Space Remake, Alien Isolation, Alan Wake 2 etc).
