Earlier this year, independent game development studio Funcom announced it was working on ‘The Park’, a psychological horror experience and its first single-player game in almost ten years. A short, but intense experience, ‘The Park’Â puts players into the shoes of Lorraine, a mother whose son goes missing in a mysterious and terrifying theme park.
A new video, which you can view below, offers both a glimpse behind the scenes at Funcom as well as the first-ever released gameplay footage showing ‘The Park’ in action. Creative Director Joel Bylos, Art Director Gavin Whelan and Audio Director Simon Poole takes time to explain what ‘The Park’is all about and what players can expect to see and do once they step through the gates of Atlantic Island Park. Focusing entirely on atmosphere, exploration and a strong narrative, ‘The Park’ draws inspiration from games such as ‘Gone Home’, ‘Dear Esther’ and ‘The Vanishing of Ethan Carter’.
