“AVOIDING THE

STALKERS EVOKES

ALIEN: ISOLATION

LEVELS OF TENSION.”

We’re in the Ashmann Inn searching

for the truths hidden behind its

decaying walls in this sequel to

Remothered: Tormented Fathers. New

protagonist Jennifer is searching for the ‘truth’,

all the while being pursued by the sinister

Stalkers – hunters caught in time.

Avoiding the Stalkers evokes Alien: Isolation levels

of tension, as while we can hide in closets and

chests, the enemy is smart: “He will know how to

investigate and even hear us breathing,” says series

creator Chris Darril. We can slow them down by

tying a rope to a door, or fight back by tethering the

creature to an area of the house with a special item.

“Everything will be at [your] complete disposal.”

Puzzle solving is equally flexible, and while Silent

Hill’s cryptic mechanisms have been an influence

“the approach to the puzzles will be definitely more

realistic and intuitive, let’s say strategic,” says Darril.

One such puzzle has you using the hotel’s phone

to dial into the guest rooms, drawing the creature

pursuing you in and opening up an escape route.

For many Remothered is the series bringing back

classic survival horror, and Darril even has a third

game planned. “I already have a script and the basis

for the gameplay events,” he teases.

The Remothered series was
created by artist, director,
and writer Chris Darril as a
callback to PS1 horror games.

Above Love Silent Hill and Siren? Then you need to put

Remothered: Broken Porcelain on your to-play list.
