It was about three weeks ago that we first wrote about
NightCry, a new video game project from
Clock Tower creator Kono Hifumi with
The Grudge director Shimizu Takashi on board as a creative producer while also directing a short film tied into the
NightCry world. We had a teaser for the film back then but with a
Kickstarter campaign now launched to raise funding for the game the full Shimizu helmed short film has been released and is available or viewing below!
This is a bit of an all star project for game fans with
Silent Hill designer Ito Masahiro,
Final Fantasy XII and
XIV art director Arai Kiyoshi,
Metal Gear Solid and
Halo composer Toda Nobuko all on board, while
Appleseed and
Space Pirate Captain Harlock film director Aramaki Shinji is also chipping in visual design.
Check out the short below!
