For years, Funcom has been occupied with MMOs such as Age of Conan and The Secret World. The developer is now working on its first single-player game since 2006’s Dreamfall with The Park, a horror game set in an amusement park that hides a dark and sinister secret.

Lorraine (the player), a mother who takes her son Callum to this particular amusement  park, descends into the worst nightmare of her life when Callum goes missing.

After night falls and the lights are extinguished, you’ll be in the midst of a short, intense horror story. The Park hides a nasty secret that’s waiting to be discovered.

Funcom CEO Rui Casais: It has been very exciting and creatively energizing for us working on a single-player experience again.”The Park” is actually the outcome of what started with a small group of developers experimenting with new concepts and looking at how we could draw upon the universes we have built for our massively multiplayer online games and expand upon them into smaller-scale single-player games. Something special started to take shape, and “The Park” ultimately became something we are eager to share with the rest of the world.

Funcom promises to release more info closer to launch. The Park  is coming our way this October on PC/Windows.
