Night Trap – The Kickstarter Support Livestream

Posted by cj_iwakura on

As some of you may or may not know, I loooove Digital Pictures’ Night Trap.

I’ve been playing it since it was originally released on the Sega CD. I loved campy films, and interactive games, so FMV was instant joy for me back then.

I’ve replayed it many, many times, and adore the multiple permutations of events throughout the game, as well as the hilariously inept Auger-vampire assailants.


(The Stair Trap, AAAAAAAH)

Also kind of generated some infamy thanks to this innocuous scene:

But I digress. The team from Digital Pictures, including Tom Zito and Night Trap’s director, have somehow got the rights to Night Trap from Hasbro… and now they want to bring it back.

As you can probably tell, their presentation is a bit… lacking.

I’d love to see this project happen, so I’ve volunteered my time and adoration for the series to help.

I’ll be livestreaming the red-box OG Sega CD edition of Night Trap today at 3PM EDT(noon pacific) to help drum up interest.

Make sure you tune in, and it couldn’t hurt to toss some scratch towards the NT crew too.
Disclaimer: I have no association with the KS. I just want the remaster to happen.

Cause boy is it pretty.

See you there!

Mm, cherry popsicles.

Serial Experiments Lain (PSX) Script release!

I swear this is sheer coincidence, I had no idea this was coming…

A PDF format which translates the entire game’s massive script, including all FMVs and diary entries.

Having played the game, I can tell you that this is no small feat. While it is theoretically possible to incorporate this into the game, due to the fact that the dialogue has no on-screen subtitles or scripting(and most of it is just audio-only), it would be a massive undertaking. This is pretty much the best bet at experiencing SEL for the indefinite future.

If you enjoy Lain’s twisted world, you won’t be disappointed.
