10 Hyped Video Games In Development (That Will Never Be Released)

The cancellation of Silent Hills was a hard pill to swallow for many fans of the long-running survival horror franchise, but some jumpscare junkies managed to find some reprieve in the flurry of walking simulator-esque horror experiences that cropped up in the game's absence. Titles like Layers of Fear, Observer, and Visage prove that there's very much a market for games of this sort, though Konami apparently still isn't interested.

Considered to be a spiritual successor to P.T., Allison Road began life as a promising crowdfunded project which was unceremoniously cancelled mid-2016 due to apparent conflicts between the development team and Team17, the game's would-be publisher. Fortunately, not long after it's cancellation, Chris Kesler—the man behind the project—announced that he would be funding the development of Allison Road himself.

While it does appear to be an eerily realistic and unabashedly disturbing game, Allison Road still isn't all that likely to see a full release. Though Chris Kesler's ambitious notions deserve respect, it will be difficult to distribute a game of this scale without a bona fide publisher at the helm.
