Building off of the lore of the 1999 horror film The Blair Witch Project, ‘Blair Witch’ accepts the proverbial passed torch, following in the found-footage footsteps of the original.
Developed by Bloober Team, a studio that focuses solely on the horror genre. Bloober Team released Observer and Layers of Fear, two games that did surprisingly well this year for having come from such a small studio.
Presumably, this game is following the success of Outlast and Outlast 2, which both had elements of found-footage films incorporated in the games. Critics are wondering how this could possibly work because The Blair Witch Project was a found-footage film, all of the events that happened in the movie were discovered after all of the characters met their fates. Video games have a hard time being tangible or gripping if you already know your character’s predetermined outcome.
