The spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is launching a crowdfunding campaign in two days for 1.5 million. The game is called Shadow of the Eternals and you can see a teaser trailer here:

I remember back in the day picking up a Gamecube for $99 mostly to play their survival horror exclusives. Resident Evil remake, RE: 0, RE: 4 and Eternal Darkness were all excellent games and I wondered why Eternal Darkness never became a franchise.
What's interesting is that Shadow of the Eternals will be told via 12 episodes. For those who never played Eternal Darkness, it's a survival horror game with a Cthulhu type mythos in which you play as several different characters (around a dozen) in different time periods from 26 BC to the present day. Probably the most remembered aspect of the game was the sanity effects that would occur as your character experienced horrors and would begin slowly loosing grasp on reality. Various effects would occur such as the camera being tilted, blood dripping down walls, disturbing sounds and fourth wall breaking effects like a sudden black screen with a green Video 1 in the top left corner.
I'm assuming that with a 12 episode release schedule each release with let you control a new character from a different time period with the first and last episodes focusing on the protagonist. I don't mind episodic games but 12 seems like a large number of episodes for one game. Most episodic games seem to stick to about one episode a month but I don't like the idea of taking an entire year to fully release a game. Hopefully they'll compress the number of episodes or just release the entire game at once.
