We figured the game would be a 3D action game of some kind, perhaps one based on Spielberg’s Tom Cruise film.

This creepy survival horror game marks the debut of a new development studio, Renegade Kid. Their ambitious first effort promises plenty of gory frights served up with impressive graphics, as players roam a derelict hospital and uncover some unnervingly grotesque surgical experiments.
