They Hunger: Lost Souls & The artistic limitation of Source

They Hunger: Lost Souls would have been a sequel to the critically acclaimed They Hunger Trilogy, and it would have been the first commercially released game by Black Widow Games, a studio that had previously been developing paid mods to tie in with TV-Shows, the movie Underworld, and PC Gamer promotions.

Due to a lot of different circumstances, and according to rumor, internal strife within the team, the project went dark and was cancelled years after radio silence.

Back in 2019 without any fanfare, 2 demos were leaked of builds that had previously been made available to press.

An incomplete build is rumored to exist, and it's believed that one of the developers still has it, but since they refuse to speak to anyone that contacts them about the game, it's impossible to verify that or verify anything related to the project.

It's a big shame. I hope you enjoy this guided tour through it, and I hope you enjoy my scatterbrained retelling of the studio's history, and my history with these kinds of games.... Enjoy.
