Erie drops you into a visually stunning, yet terrifying scenario where your goals are to investigate, survive, and finally escape. It’s first person horror meets intense dark-ride with hidden, rotting cats. Erie begins in October 1966, when the Fermi 1 Nuclear Power Generator suffers a partial meltdown, and locals begin disappearing from a sleepy Michigan town. Oliver Victor is a Red Cross Investigator sent to find missing locals, but quickly finds himself trapped underground and being hunted by a product of forced-mutation experiments. Oliver’s rescue mission quickly turns into a struggle to survive, escape and uncover what’s been happening under the nuclear plant on the shores of Lake Erie. Developed by the University of Utah's EAE Master Games Studio Program.

Free Horror Game Erie Is Certainly Eerie

The vigilant eyes of PCG noticed this one free over at Desura. It’s a student project from the University Of Utah’s EAE Master Games Studio Program, and it’s been dropped on to Desura for no pennies. Its not exactly polished, and a lot more could have been squeezed out of its UDK shell, but the idea is solid. I’ve had a bit of a run around in it, and I can report this: erk. It’s got some horrible sound effects, and is definitely a good exercise in spooky. (It also has a note from “Jim” at the start, and I don’t know why I would have left myself a note in a free horror game. Spooks!) It’s basically a maze/exploration sort of thing, with one novel ideal: you have a spray can you can mark your passage with. There’s also something in the corridors with you…
I’ve also posted a trailer below, if you want to look at that. You might, you know. I’ll put the kettle on in the meantime
I thought WR posted this earlier for Desura but maybe I got it mixed up with Flare. Anyway, it is available on Desure or direct download above.
