In the June Aspyr update, the company surprised us with the annoucement that they bringing the highly acclaimed thriller FPS Clive Barker's Undying to the Mac. Westlake Interactive has confirmed they are already underway with the port (which was listed as 'Peroxide' on their status page), and it is hoped to reach beta as early as Macworld New York next month. How could it be ported so quickly? The game is based on the Unreal Tournament engine -- which Westlake has a ton of experience with -- and so we'll hopefully see something later in the summer.

Undying is not a game for the kiddies, as Clive Barker is adept at horror, and reviews of the PC version indicate the game is quite scary. You fight against the spooks with a mix of mortal and arcane weaponry. Fans and critics looking for a thrill have given much praise to Undying as a successful and freaky title. Here's an excerpt from the newsletter with more info:

1899-At the Island of the Standing Stones, Jeremiah Covenant and his
four younger siblings read aloud a dark ritual, little knowing that
their childish game would set loose an unimaginable horror upon the
world.

Creepy, eh? This prologue sets the stage for our latest announcement.
Clive Barker's Undying is in the works for Mac gamers. Conversion is
being done by Westlake Interactive. This game is a horror movie of
your own creation. Rumor has it that the Westlake guys won't play this
game in the dark.
