Death in Candlewood is the new open-world psychological FPS from Rosebud Studios, a new outfit founded by some of the minds behind Silent Hill: Origins, F.E.A.R., The Witcher and even Bioshock.
Death In Candlewood is a dark, Gothic FPS set in the 1940s, and has been in development for two years now. The studio has been working on this game for two years now, but the money has run dry, and have asked Kickstarters for $60,000 to complete the game within the next 12 months.
If you like the works of Edgar Allan Poe and classic horror films, this may be the game for you: “A love story between the living and the dead, the game plunges its player into the darkest corners of 1940s America. The game spans a single night in the life of Ray Dune, a doctor whose relationship with reclusive psychiatrist Lester Caravan has reached a deadly crisis point. When his vulnerable adopted son Rizzo mysteriously disappears, Dune is forced to act. Navigating the dark paths of Candlewood Mountains and a terrifying onslaught of inhuman assailants, Dune sets out on a desperate bid to save himself and his son from the bloody machinations of a madman.”
Though Death In Candlewood is first and foremost a first person game, it not a linear FPS. This open-world game is promised to be incredibly expansive, with “over 1,000 navigable buildings in Candlewood and 6km² of surrounding mountain ranges.”. On top of this, you will be able to navigate the world in any way you like - through cars and motorbikes to swimming the waters around Candlewood.
Death In Candlewood is due for release in early 2015, and will be Rosebud’s first title as a studio. You can find the Kickstarter page here.
