Upcoming Release: The Hum Trailers, Screens, Info, Kickstarter Campaign – August 5, 2014

The Hum is a sci-fi/horror game that puts the player in the aftermath of a sudden alien invasion. The player will not only have to find a way to survive, but will need to become increasingly involved in the nightmare in order to unravel the mystery behind it.

Considering the scope of The Hum (large) and the size of indie developer Thotwise (small), a decision was made to release a prequel called The Hum: Abductions. This way, it will be possible to make part of the game available to players before development of the full game is completed.

In Abductions you’ll become Holly Sanders, a wife and mother who is carrying on as best she can without her missing husband, who mysteriously vanished months before. Lonely and disturbed, with her little son Dan as only company, Holly will face a terrifying revelation.

The Hum will be an immersive, frightening, story-driven game, with the emphasis on narrative and atmosphere. You will be tested, toyed with and experimented on by aliens. You will suffer changes in time-perception (acceleration, for example), your ability to see and hear could be altered, or you could become a victim of illusions. Whatever happens, you can bet it will be scary. 

The game is being developed with Unreal Engine 4 and will support VR/Oculus Rift. Players will be able to enjoy The Hum without a VR device, but the game will emphasize the VR experience.

The plan is to release The Hum: Abductions on July 15th for PC, Mac and PS4. Meanwhile, eyes on the skies, y’all.
