Harebrained Schemes has posted a job listing for a new game called "The Horror Project." The developer is known for its Shadowrun series of turn-based RPGs and BattleTech, a mech strategy game.

Harebrained Schemes' official employment page lists openings for both a lead game designer and an art director. Clicking on either job posting displays a description of the position as being for an "unannounced horror project."
