Amusement parks are happy places, filled with the innocent joys of childhood and the exhilarating rush of hair-raising, but safe adventure. Balloons, cotton candy and fantastic rides to be dared. Perhaps that is how Lorraine pictured it too when she brought her son Callum to one... just before it descended into the most terrifying nightmare of her life.
In 'The Park' players step into the shoes of Lorraine, a mother whose son goes missing at the Atlantic Island Park. Here players must explore the dilapidated amusement park and face panic and paranoia as they progress unravel Lorraine's story and the history of the park itself. Focusing entirely on intense storytelling and exploration instead of combat and action, 'The Park' draws inspiration from other first-person exploration games.
When night falls and the lights go out, what follows is a short, but intense horror story set against the backdrop of an amusement park where a dark and sinister secret is just waiting to be uncovered.
"We are thrilled to develop games for consoles again," says Funcom CEO Rui Casais. "Not only because 'The Park' is a great fit for console gaming, but the process has also given us a lot of experience which we can use for some of our upcoming games, like 'CONAN EXILES'."
The PC version is currently available on Steam, Humble Store, NVIDIA GeForce NOW Store, GreenManGaming and GamersGate. The game is one to two hours long and focuses entirely on exploration and storytelling.
