    Just came to post this, beat me to it! Don't know how this will turn out but it looks like plenty of effort was put into it. Hellraiser 1 & 2 are some of my favorite movies and I'm excited to see a single player adaptation of a horror franchise instead of yet another asymmetrical multiplayer game!

      Ditto. Although I also have a soft spot for the rest of the Hellraiser series as well, even the 2022 reboot. They're a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. Horror games hit me way harder than movies...

      Horror games hit me way harder than movies though. I can watch some truly scary/gruesome shit no problem, but scary games I often struggle with. They're way more immersive, since I'm the one in control, so they can truly get my heart-rate up unlike scary movies or books. Regardless, I still fully intend to play this once it's released since I love the universe and want to experience this game for myself, even if it does make me super physically uncomfortable while playing it. :P

        I'm the same with horror games, too immersive and I'll get jump scared at some point and it'll piss me off and stop playing. As a result the only gaming streams I've ever actually enjoyed is...

        As a result the only gaming streams I've ever actually enjoyed is watching a friend play horror games.

          Yeah, it's the jump scares that get me the worst too. In movies I barely even flinch, but in games I practically jump out of my seat and my heart rate goes crazy afterwards. I'm hoping this game will be more psychological horror and body horror rather than relying too much on jump scares though.

    Like @PelagiusSeptim said, this looks like a game with actual time, money and attention put into it...unlike the Weinsteins, who literally made the cheapest sequels possible (often in weeks) to keep the rights to the franchise. Glad someone is doing something with the franchise now that it's been wrested from the Weinsteins.
