Daniel, are you there?
Developer Bloober Team, best known for its work on Layers of Fear, Blair Witch, and Observer, has taken to Twitter to tease its next project by way of a 30-second video.

News Is the Blair Witch Game Coming to PS4?
Bloober Team's latest could make the jump
One announcement from Microsoft's E3 2019 presentation that caught our attention was Blair Witch, a first person survival horror based on the famous found footage film franchise.

Either a benefit or a hazard
Bloober Team is a fascinating developer. The Polish outfit has released a couple of games this generation: its first, Basement Crawl, was so poorly received that it had to be remade, and was reborn as Brawl. Its follow-up to this was Layers of Fear, a Victorian-themed horror title about painting, and it remains one of...

News Peel Back the Layers of Fear with Inheritance DLC
Child's slay
We liked psychological walking sim Layers of Fear, so we're up for a few more hours poking around the protagonist's painterly house from the viewpoint of his daughter. Perspective was the key theme in this game, so it should be interesting to see how the eyes of a child twist and contort things even more. The expansion's out on 2nd...
Picture perfect
As a Virgo, this author is all too familiar with the perils of perfectionism. Layers of Fear is a brilliant, brief psychological thriller which asks one very poignant question: how far is too far? Heavily inspired by Oscar Wilde's iconic turn-of-the-century novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, this meticulously designed vignette puts...
News Layers of Fear Paints a Not So Pretty Picture on PS4
What of Art? It is a malady
Oscar Wilde's iconic The Picture of Dorian Gray appears to have served as one of the key inspirations behind Layers of Fear, a forthcoming horror game from, well, Bloober Team. It's true that the Polish outfit doesn't exactly have the best track record on the PlayStation 4, but it's talking a good game here: its...
News PS4's Worst Game Crawls Out of the Basement as Brawl
The dark below
Hands up if you remember Basement Crawl? The curious Bomberman-inspired PlayStation 4 exclusive from Bloober Team attained a reasonable amount of attention due to it being one of the first next-gen titles to deploy in 2014. The final product left a lot to be desired, however, prompting it to earn a miserable Metascore of just 27. Not...

News PS4's Worst Game Will Be Rebuilt and Released to Existing Owners for Free
Bloober Team aims to rectify blooper
We don’t think that any developer intentionally sets out to make a bad product, but Bloober Team’s dark Bomberman-inspired arena battler Basement Crawl launched in the worst state imaginable. We didn’t actually get around to reviewing the game, simply because we couldn't get it to work at first. However,...

Beware of the outdoors
Bloober Team’s upcoming PlayStation 4 title Basement Crawl promises a blend of Bomberman and Twisted Metal – but even with that intriguing concept, we weren’t prepared for this terrifying teaser trailer.

News Basement Crawl May Be the Battiest Title on PS4 Yet
Bloober Team's multiplayer title looks utterly bonkers
