Allison Road picked up by Team 17, Kickstarter cancelled

First-person horror game added to Worms studio's repertoire.

P.T. spiritual successor Allison Road has cancelled its Kickstarter campaign, but only because it's been picked up by a publisher: Team 17.

The studio best known as the Worms developer, Team 17 is the publisher of such titles as Yooka-Laylee, The Escapists: The Walking Dead, Deadwood, Penarium, Beyond Eyes, and Sheltered

"Working with Team17 will give us the chance to make our game unhindered creatively, but at the same time will give us the resources, support and experience that only a 25 year old studio can give," Allison Road developer Lilith said in a Kickstarter update.

"For all of you that have pledged already for in game rewards, we absolutely promise you that we will look at ways outside of Kickstarter that will allow you to be involved in the game at a later date."

Looking like a mix of P.T. and Gone Home, Allison Road will put players in the shoes of an amnesiac who awakens in a rural Manchester abode haunted by ghosts. The further you get on in the night, the spookier it gets.

Lilith was hoping to bring Allison Road to PS4 and Xbox One in addition to PC, Mac and Linux, and would ideally like to add VR support for at least PC via Oculus Rift.
