Well, for those of you who don't really know about my game or it's developement(because you have to read about it on my forum, which is down right now, unfortunately)...
Pretty much, I going to describe it here..
Quote :
"In gaming history, horror is generally focused on undead cadavers,flashy effects and heavy amounts of blood and gore. The first game to break out of this cliche was Silent Hill, released exclusively for the Playstation 1, but then again it inspired more cliches, but in turn brought Japanese horror and psychological horror to the drawing board of ideas for horror games and it's sequel recieved various recognition for a less cliche-ish story with elements of sexual lust,emotion,murder and elements that most games wouldn't touch and even featured a fully original cast of characters, like James Sunderland,Pyramid Head and few others who were memorable.
However, in these times, horror has decayed into cliches due to popular culture and horror games have focused on action, rather than fright. Horror fighting games are a rare oddity, rendered as a uncommon field of game creation and development.
Der Albtraum is a game that will bring horror somewhat back to it's roots and will feature a 10 character roster(although it will be only 5 characters in the demo version).
Noticably inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft and the Black Heart video game by Argentina director Andres Borghi, Der Albtraum will be a game intended for mature audiences with blood and gore, seen in the game's general atmosphere and the fatal moves of the characters.
Themes that are apparent in the game can be controversial in most points of view, including a character, with a backstory involving abortion and references to the occult, which in turn fits the game's atmosphere and could be considered "sticking it to the video game man" and the game will feature elements of the Gothic era.
The demo version of Der Albtraum is to be released somewhere in 2010
A little preview of the game's mature content warning screen:

eerrrrr, the trailer didn't make it seem scary, I mean, a hand that flies at you isn't very scary, but it sounds interesting.

Meh, I scrapped the idea of the hand in the warning screen.
Anyways, here's a music track that will be in the game:
