”SKYHILL: Black Mist is not your typical survival or horror game, it is much more story oriented. Hence the idea of live-action trailer to make it more human and emotional. We hear voices from terrified guests, minutes after someone or something takes over the building. It could have happened in a real world. And when hell break loose, our main hero starts his desperate run for survival. So, this movie is like an introduction to our story” – Said Eugene Kisterev, Studio Head at Manadragora.
