The Black Glove Release News: BioShock Infinite Creators Form Day For Night Games, 'The Black Glove' in Development

"BioShock Infinite" was regarded to be one of the best games of 2013, gaining several positive reviews and selling over 6 million copies since its release. However, less than a year after the game was released, Irrational Games was disbanded and most of the people who worked on the game were out of a job.

Not all was lost, however, as a few of the people who helped developed the game grouped together once more to form Day For Night Games and created their first game, The Black Glove. The title is currently in development and the devs are seeking funding through a Kickstarter campaign which ends Friday later this week.

"The Black Glove" is a title set in the 1920s theater called the Equinox. Joe Fielder, one of the writers and producers of "Bioshock Infinite" has called the game, "Bioshock mixed with Twin Peaks." The setting is reminiscent of David Lynch's Twin Peaks while the trio of characters residing in the theater are supposedly the successors to the characters from Ken Levine's Bioshock games.

The game is not a horror game but Fielder is hoping that it becomes a deeply unsettling experience for the player, much like how a Lynch film would behave.

"Games have gotten a little too dark over the last few years. I'm a huge horror fan, but I feel like games have overused the language of horror films," Fielder said. "Game designers want so much to make the player feel something that it's become a crutch to make the player feel bad."

"The Black Glove is an eerie, surreal sort of game, but it's not dark or depressing. There's not a bevy of realistic violence to it. But it's not just weird for the sake of being weird. There's an underlying mythology that we're checking out over time," he added.
