Allison Road is an upcoming first-person survival horror video game for Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 4. Created by British developer Lilith Ltd and published by Team17. It is considered to be a spiritual successor to P.T., the playable teaser for the cancelled video game Silent Hills.[2][3] Before being funded by Team17 the game's development was fan-based.[1]
Gameplay
The gameplay of Allison Road is similar to that of P.T., the playable teaser for Silent Hills, presenting a minimal storyline which the player must solve. While not wanting to reveal too much of the actual game, developers stated the full version may be slightly different. According to the development team, "pretty much all of our core mechanics are in place, however, some actually didn't make the cut-off for the video; the inventory is one of those things."[4]
Plot
The player controls an unnamed protagonist who awakens in his British townhouse with no memory. As the player explores the house, evidence gathered from letters and photos suggest his family has been the victim of a heinous crime. Most rooms, including the backyard of the house, can be explored. Though some doors are initially locked, some eventually open as the teaser progresses. In the final moments of the trailer, the player discovers a ghoulish figure, assumed to be the ghost of his wife, which attacks him just before the screen cuts to black.[5]
Development
Currently a 13 minute long pre-alpha video has been released. The style is considered a homage to P.T., the playable teaser for Silent Hills.[6] The game is being developed on Unreal Engine 4.[7] To fund the game, developer Lilith Ltd. created a Kickstarter asking for £250,000.[8] However, the campaign was cancelled, as Team17 became the game's publisher, which would provide funds for the team to develop the game.[9] The Xbox One release is far from certain, as Team 17 has not promised that it will be released on that platform. It was thought that it would when the game was being funded by Kickstarter, but now no such binding promise exists.
