Horror Tales Eats The World Sets Early Access For October 14 On Steam
A solo developer funding his own game around a microphone rule that punishes the player for reacting is the pitch itself, and the staged price increase tied to content additions makes the early access window the thing to watch.

Fatih Atacan PRODUCTIONS will release Horror Tales Eats The World in early access on October 14 for PC via Steam. The found footage horror game is built around FILEs: FILE #1 sends an ex-prisoner named Clay into a forest to find his missing sister, with FILE #2 and FILE #3 planned later. At launch only the forest map is included. The game monitors microphone input and kills the character when volume crosses a threshold.
The launch build is smaller than the announced scope. Of the three FILEs described for Horror Tales Eats The World, only FILE #1, "Find Whitney," ships on October 14; the pyramid and space prison stories come later in early access. Fatih Atacan develops the game alone from Turkey on days off from another job, and that job covers production costs. The store page lists Japanese in-game text and subtitles. Early access is planned to run about 6 to 12 months, with new maps, horror elements, and optimization added along the way.
