Rosebud Games announced today the launch of a Kickstarter campaign for its upcoming open-world psychological FPS, Death in Candlewood. Rosebud is a new studio made up of award-winners from the teams who worked on Silent Hill, F.E.A.R. and The Witcher and also consulted with designers from BioShock, and this is its debut title.
Death In Candlewood is an open-world psychological FPS heavily influenced by the gothic fiction of Edgar Allan Poe and classic horror films.
Jay Kyburz, BioShock Environment Lead and Neptune’s Pride creator, said:
“Death In Candlewood combines inventive gameplay with romantic storytelling and sets it all in a gorgeously realised world. A brutal, beautiful shooter.”
The game plunges its player into the darkest corners of 1940s America and spans a single night in the life of Ray Dune, a doctor whose relationship with reclusive psychiatrist Lester Caravan has reached a deadly crisis point. When his vulnerable adopted son Rizzo mysteriously disappears, Dune is forced to act. Navigating the dark paths of Candlewood Mountains and a terrifying onslaught of inhuman assailants, Dune sets out on a desperate bid to save himself and his son from the bloody machinations of a madman.
The team aims to raise $60K in the next 29 days.
Enjoy!

looks great
I swear if you listen to what he says at 2:31 till 2:41 it sounds if he says ” we felt we need to f,u,c,k, yous” and I really hate to be moderated and wait for a post to be allowed because a of a word……shesh…..that said this is so funny!!!
Not one of those jokers has actually worked on the actual games Silent Hill and F.E.A.R. I would have appreciated if you had done some legwork to check their claims instead of just copying their misleading advertisement lies as the headline.
“Former Silent Hill, F.E.A.R. Devs”
This is quite the boldfaced lie from those guys. They have worked on those franchises but not on those titles.
“Silent Hill: Origins”
A prequel to Silent Hill made for handheld device PSP.
“F.E.A.R. Extraction Point”
A non canon expansion pack made by a completely different team than the actual game. The latest game this team has worked on is Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Suddenly you have quite a different situation.
So are these ex TimeGate devs?
The ones who claim to be former F.E.A.R. devs, yes. F.E.A.R. Extraction Point was developed by TimeGate.
But Silent Hill origins was damn scary. Like it was a proper Silent Hill experience, handheld or not.
good combo of devs
One would think at first glance.
Fantastic, best time ever to be a pc gamer. all those lovely horror games is tha best 😀
looks cool i wanna play
I swear if you listen to what he says at 2:31 till 2:41 it sounds if he says ” we felt we need to a bad word that starts with f and ends wuth ucks you, yous” and I really hate to be moderated and wait for a post to be allowed because a of a word……shesh…..that said this is so funny!!!
