A major refresh to the series was released in 1995, titled The Harbingers, which sold above the industry's sales predictions in Australia and became one of the top-ten best-selling games in the United States and the United Kingdom within months of its release. In 2019, an app based version of the game, was licensed by Creata IP and released in Australia, Spain and Portugal, with additional territories following in 2020. The rules are very similar to the 2004 game with some modifications but the key change is The Gatekeeper, performed by Jacek Koman, who comes in the form of an app that works in conjunction with a smart device creating the perfect game of ATMOSFEAR. Multiple devices can be used during the game. I remember first playing Atmosfear as a young teenager in a friend’s living room. We sat on the floor in the dark, revelling in the way her parents’ surround sound system made everything louder and more terrifying, shrieking with real, delighted fear whenever the Gatekeeper appeared. If you’re only half-arsedly playing the game, you don’t get the adrenaline rush at the end, when everything speeds up and the Gatekeeper appears more and more often, stopping the action just when you’re desperate for your turn to come round so you can try to reach the Well of Fears. When you started a game, you’d start the video playing, and a hooded figure would appear. He was the Gatekeeper, and to win the game you had to beat him as well as your fellow players. The game had an hour limit (the length of the tape) and there was a timer on screen to count down the seconds. When the time was up, the Gatekeeper won; if you managed to get to the middle of the board and claim your nightmare before then, you stopped the tape and celebrated your victory.

Device requirements: Android OS 6 to 14: ARMv7 CPU with NEON support or Atom CPU; OpenGL ES 2.0 or later; 2GB RAM or more.Paulsen, Steven (1996). "Cowboys and Atmosfear". Bloodsongs. Australia: Bambada Press (7): 17. What the Cowboys have since discovered, of cause, is that many players actually enjoy being Soul Rangers, simply because they can go around and do a lot of damage. In fact the next Atmosfear video board game will feature these gruesome boys and will be titled The Soul Rangers. So, whether you’re a teacher looking for an interactive classroom activity or a parent wanting to supplement your child’s learning at home, our board game is the ideal choice. It provides an immersive and enjoyable way to review the layers of the atmosphere.

Like pretty much everything, Atmosfear isn’t much fun if you don’t commit to it. To really enjoy yourself, you have to be able to embrace the silliness. Because no, it doesn’t really matter if you don’t answer the Gatekeeper promptly with the correct response; the game can’t punish you, because it has no way of knowing whether or not you said anything. If you roll the dice and don’t get the right number, there’s nothing to stop you rolling again, or just cheating and moving however you want to. But if you’re not going to get into the spirit of it, what’s the point in playing? As cutting edge as the game seemed at the time, it now seems quaintly old-fashioned, and there’s something nice about that. If you’ve got a copy of the video version sitting in your attic – and if you still have a VHS player – it might be worth blowing the dust off, turning the lights down low and the volume up loud to give it another go… The Harbingers ( VHS videotape). Australia: A Couple 'A Cowboys. 1995. Event occurs at 59:57. The Gatekeeper: It's over you idiots. You have lost, and you only have yourselves to blame. So good riddance. *laughs* Differentiated Challenges: Cater to individual learning styles with varying difficulty levels. Whether you have advanced learners or students who need extra support, our review game meets every need. Paulsen, Steven (1996). "Cowboys and Atmosfear". Bloodsongs. Australia: Bambada Press (7): 14. Here in Australia it is already selling above industry predictions, and within months of it release, it has become one of the top ten best selling games in America and is the only new game currently in the UK top ten.The Harbingers of Gévaudan the Werewolf and Hellin the Poltergeist were never made into board games. All it takes to ruin a game like this is for one player not to get into it properly. If one person refuses to do something the Gatekeeper asks them to, the whole illusion of the game is shattered. For that reason, you have to be kind of careful who you play it with. Anyone overly self-conscious, overly cynical, will spoil the, ahem, atmosphere for everyone. But get the right group of people together and it’s a lot of fun. The Harbingers Booster Tape Cover (VHS videotape, USA/UK version). A Couple 'A Cowboys. 1995.
