With Silent Hills dead, maybe Allison Road can deliver what P.T. promised; the developers are asking for nearly $400,000 on Kickstarter. They’re hoping to release the game in December 2016, but given the spotty track record of crowdfunding games hitting those dates, don’t be surprised if that slips.
