The team at Behaviour Digital Inc. has been working hard and the game has made great progress during the past few months. We're thrilled to be a mere seven weeks away from launch and look forward to seeing the reception of the game among horror fans who get to try it out." said Mikael Nermark, COO of Starbreeze Publishing.
