"Silent Hills: P.T" spiritual successor "Allison Road" finally makes its revival after its unfortunate cancellation back in June. It was revealed through game developer Christian Kesler's Facebook that he would continue the project on his own under a new label.
In a report from IGN, Kesler would bring the project back under the label Far from Home. This time, he would continue his project with the new label on his own, along with his wife who is also his business partner.
Fans of the game's social media page were notified of a new activity, ever since the project was scrapped a few months ago, according to Polygon. Creator Christian Kesler mentioned that after taking some time off from project, he reviewed and went over the "stuff that had been done up to that point." After making a few tweaks and changes to the story and flow of the game, before he knew it, the project was up and back on its feet.
Passionate about the project, Kesler is confident in taking on the project by himself, even showing in a recently released gameplay trailer that he did all of the game's texturing, modelling, and rendering. This has been a solo project of his for a long time before he sought out help.
However, Kesler recently emailed Polygon the news on "Allison Road," telling them not to expect the game on Kickstarter. The game's development is going to be funded by Kesler himself for the time being since it is going "slower than before." It was also possible that he and developer company Lillith Ltd. would look to funding outside in the possible future.
"Allison Road" was first debuted last year on July, showcasing pre-alpha gameplay that lasted 13 minutes. The game was oozing with vibes from Hideo Kojima's "Silent Hills: P.T.," with its photorealistic graphics, suburban home setting, and a ghost girl to name a few.
The Kickstarter had gained popularity and was able to reach half of its funding goal in three weeks. The game, however, left the Kickstarter when it partnered with publisher Team17 to help progress production.
However, upon its initial cancellation, details were not provided on what happened between Team17 and Limited Ltd. Eventually, Kesler learned where to pick up the pieces and moved on.
While "Allison Road" brought good news of its revival, the game has not revealed any release dates yet. It was reported, however, that the game will be released for the PC.
