News by Matt S. We were quite impressed by last year’s Man of Medan. The developer behind the teen slasher homage, Until Dawn, delivered an effective haunted boat, narrative-driven horror game. As the first in an anthology (it’s right there in the title), we were also wondering what would be…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. As a fan of horror, I was really keen to check Hunt: Showdown out, now that it has finally landed on PlayStation 4. Crytek’s multiplayer horror-em-up always looked like it was going to deliver something special as a deep south B-grade Gothic horror experience. Unfortunately, while…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Last year I played – and absolutely loved – a tiny little indie horror title called Deadus. It’s a horror game that has been designed to play on the original Game Boy, and as such so you needed an emulator (or a device with a Game…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. I’ve been really looking forward to World of Horror, ever since it was first announced back in 2018. Using retro visuals, like something from an old Apple Mac game, it promised a blend of Lovecraftian cosmic horror and RPG mechanics. Not a Call of Cthulhu RPG…

Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. If you found a lost phone on the ground, what would you do? Would you pick it up? Would you actively try to find the owner, or passively wait for someone to ring it? Now what if that phone was left at your doorstop, and when…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Cherrymochi is a Japanese development company with a unique distinction – most of the team are westerners, drawn from the UK, Europe and America, but all of them have extensive experience living and working in Japan. It’s rare that a game can be truly Japanese –…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I think we’ve hit the point where we can call the Corpse Party series a massive missed opportunity. What has been created within it has been great, true Japanese horror, but as time has worn on, the poor management of the property thanks to its dōjin…
