On the other hand, this is rather nice. I noticed horror-themed Source mod Visage before (I know all and see all) but I wasn’t sure it was going anywhere, despite some interesting early snapshots. Andrea also knows all and sees all! You can see his impressions of those first images here. But modder milo-rd just recently updated the team’s ModDB page and, well, while anyone can say they’ve changed their minds and are now going to make the bestest mod ever, these new screens, concept art and teaser trailer do go a long way towards backing that up.
Two friends discover something nasty deep in the forests surrounding the deserted Swedish town of Hovgård. Hardly an original premise, but this is slick, professional-looking stuff steeped in a grim, peculiarly Scandinavian atmosphere. No, forget pulpy crime novels like Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy, this looks far closer to something like Pål Øie’s Hidden (Skjult) – yes, yes, he’s Norwegian, but these screens give off that same feeling of having been steeped in a toxic soup of fear and decay. (When apparently it was just Red Bull.)
I hate to make it seem as if I only care about Source mods, but when they’re this promising, I can’t just pass them up. Eagerly awaited indeed.
You can find Visage’s page on ModDB here.
Been following this for a while. One of those mods that really shows the strengths of the Source engine.
Gah, get out of my nightmares! But seriously, this is looking really interesting.
