First i heard about this title was today, a news aricle on nintendo.co.uk
It's a survival-horror game, multi-platform, not sure of the release.
The web site's at
http://www.darkblack.co.uk/asylum/index.htm
The plot is as follows: A reality tv show has rented out a 'haunted' house for its show, in which you're a contestant competing for a $10 million prize.
The show sets various challenges to the contestants, on the haunted theme, which must be completed in order to take home the loot.
But a slightly unforseen twist changes the stakes, as the house turns out, yes, you guessed it, to actually be haunted, and you end up fighting for your life.
Now, not to accuse darkblack productions of anything, the idea's been used before. A few years ago i saw a tv film thing done in the style of blair witch, with people in a haunted house doing dares for cash (filmed on their handheld and helmet-mounted video cameras). They did do a very good job though, it worked very well (for a lot of the show, i was kept guessing whether the 'noises' and the likes were staged, coincidence or my imagination), so i think there is potential, and hopefully asylum won't let the side down.
Pictures, well, there's not much to go on, but it looks suitably good. And dark.
If all goes well, this could be quite a gem.
Move over resi :^)

The new game was previewed in this months CUBE magazine, the even mentioned it's like House on Haunted Hill, should be more scarier than Luigi's mansion anyway.
The Haunting's that film with Catherine Zita Jones and matey out of Star Wars Ep1 in it.

oooo a SR staff member in the Nintendo forum! That's a rare site!
Anyways, I thought that film was House on Haunted Hill. I could be wrong. Sounds kinda similar.

Oh, House on Haunted Hill.
Very disappointing as people said it was scary.
