Rides with Strangers, a creepy game where you have to hitch a lift off a bunch of weirdos, has just been successfully funded on Kickstarter, passing the stretch goals required to see it come to PS4 and Xbox One, on top of the planned PC release.
"Rides with Strangers delivers a truly unique video game experience that puts you in a terrifying and desperate position," says the official blurb.
"Relying on the elements of classic horror films and games before it, Rides with Strangers forces you from your comfort zone and into a terrifying atmosphere that exists within the outside world.
"Just as in real life every car could be your chance to reach your destination, but the horror that exists inside will not come from creatures from another world, or from the imagination. They will come from within the very human people you will encounter.
"Every Stranger who will welcome you into their car tonight has been meticulously constructed, from their design to their dialogue, to represent the link that exists outside of polite society. Will you be prepared to face them knowing that these horrors could very well exist within your real waking world?
"Will you be able to put down this game and return to your regular life, watching strangers pass, knowing this could happen to you? Whoever you end up sharing the ride with, remember to keep a careful, watchful eye. Remember, despite the small talk, that they are not your savior but a wolf in sheep's skin."
What to Read Next
It looks sufficiently unsettling, for example in the way the night-time shadows dance across the driver's face, obscuring their expression along with their true intentions. It seems like a game that was built for virtual reality, so we wouldn't be surprised to see it end up on PlayStation VR at some point given it's now coming to PS4.
Though the Kickstarter has finished, you can still pledge to the project via PayPal.
