You might need observed that RPS is rather fond of the Rusty Lake series. A set of free room escape video games, and to this point three longer journey video games, every introduces facets of a deeply weird and unsettling story. Twin Peaks meets Ancestry.com. Now the 2 guys behind the prolific collection are making a film/recreation crossover for the collection, and Kickstarting the project.

And having seen a few of the rushes from the shoot whereas out at GDC a number of weeks in the past, I can attest to the devoted that – wow – they’ve managed to nail the appear and feel of the video games. Take a have a look at the pitch video, which has snippets thereof:
Anyone who’s performed a Rusty Lake recreation ought to cheer after they see the drawer being opened and the field of matches inside. For anybody who hasn’t, go play all the games after which cheer!

But it’s already nicely on the best way to its modest aim inside an hour of launching, so there we’re. In the meantime, have the pleasure of watching the real-life Mr Crow portray for the movie being created:
