The Weinstein Company ventures into the gaming world with its first Scream mobile game, titled Scre4m set to launch tomorrow on the iTunes store for iPhone and iPad users. Released to coincide with the debut of Scream 4, this marks the studio’s push to expand their properties into the digital realm.
The Concept: You Are Ghostface
The game lets players step into the shoes of Ghostface. From a top-down perspective, you control the infamous killer, navigating through small, maze-like environments to eliminate your targets. The gameplay combines strategy and slasher thrills as you drag or tap on victims to guide Ghostface, triggering brutal attacks.
The game adds depth with scoring bonuses for creative kills, such as taking down the stereotypical “jock” and “cheerleader” in sequence. This blend of humor and horror aligns perfectly with the Scream franchise’s meta-aware style.
A Focused Approach to Gaming
Weinstein’s gaming initiative avoids large-scale console games, opting instead for small, high-quality, downloadable titles tailored to mobile devices. Developed with seasoned gaming talent, Scream: The Game aims to deliver bite-sized horror that appeals to both casual gamers and franchise fans.
Launch Details
The game will debut with four levels, promising more content in future updates. Priced at just $0.99, it’s an affordable entry point for players looking to experience the thrill of being Ghostface.
If successful, this could pave the way for more interactive experiences tied to Scream and other Weinstein properties.
