Funcom unveils The Park, a single-player horror set in an abandoned theme park
Loopy.
Age of Conan and The Secret World developer Funcom has announced single-player PC horror game The Park.
It's out in October, just two months time.
Funcom describes The Park as a "short but intense" experience that sees players investigate a spooky theme park after dark. You play as mum Lorraine who is hunting for her missing son, Callum.
The title will be a departure for the studio, which has become known for its recent work on MMOs.
Funcom's announcement comes as it seeks financial aid - either investment or a buy-out - to avoid filing for bankruptcy.
The Norwegian developer has been on thin ice for some time, after underwhelming sales of The Secret World and muted interest in its latest project, Lego Minifigures Online.
"It has been very exciting and creatively energising for us working on a single-player experience again," explained Funcom boss Rui Casais.
"'The Park' is actually the outcome of what started with a small group of developers experimenting with new concepts and looking at how we could draw upon the universes we have built for our massively multiplayer online games and expand upon them into smaller-scale single-player games. Something special started to take shape, and 'The Park' ultimately became something we are eager to share with the rest of the world."
Fair warning - the trailer below includes some pretty seizure-inducing flashes.
