FACT RICK
1. TRUE HORROR The real HH Holmes confessed to 27 murders, but was only convicted of one. He got the death penalty.
2. HIDING TIME One new exploration. mechanic is the ability to hide but exactly who are we hiding from?
3. RESIDENT DEVIL An inventory; puzzles to solve - it's almost like Resident Evil, only without the zombies and guns.
Many a myth surrounds HH Holmes, who’s regarded as America’s first serial killer and who committed his crimes in the late 19th century. One of the most infamous is that he built his own hotel, which the press later nicknamed the ‘Murder Castle’, to lure in victims. Surely a ripe setting for a horror game, then.
For Supermassive Games’ fourth and final instalment (well, for ‘season one’ at least; more appears to be on the way) in The Dark Pictures Anthology, the Lonnit Entertainment TV crew that makes Architects Of Murder are invited to tour a hotel that, it’s claimed, is a faithful recreation of the infamous murder castle – right down to rooms designed to result in guests’ creatively brutal deaths. It’s clearly meant to be more than a static museum, as it contains plenty of mannequins to demonstrate these sadistic traps. Naturally, something tells us we’re going to find ourselves having a much more live demonstration.
