It is a good day for creepy video game news! Japanese-style horror adventure game Hollow Cocoon was released for PC via Steam last December, self-published by developer Nayuta Studio. The horror game is set in Japan during the 1980s. The screenshots look almost serene but don’t get lulled into a false sense of security. Horrific things will begin when night…

Read MoreI try my hardest to keep current when it comes to video games, for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, a lot of indie games still slip through the crack. Sometimes even viral ones. Today is the first I’ve heard of Amanda the Adventurer. The game looks cute and happy, but underneath all…
Read MoreIt was only a couple of weeks ago that I wrote about PQube publishing The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication in the West (you can read that here). At the time there was nothing mentioned of a release date past 2024, so I wasn’t expecting a launch date so soon.…

Read MoreIf you’re into horror and haven’t checked out the Amnesia series, you really should! It’s quite beloved, especially considering how scary the games can be. The latest instalment is Amnesia: The Bunker, described as a pivotal point in the series. For the first time, players are given a high level…
Read MoreTsugunohi has been around for a few years on PC, but despite the developer proudly proclaiming the many, many minutes of streaming time it has chewed up in the promo material (over 100 million video views, apparently!), it’s been niche and exactly that kind of indie horror. Now it’s on…
Read MoreSometimes I put my foot in my mouth, and have to admit that I’m wrong. Now is one of those times. Just yesterday, in the catch-up, I was musing over whether or not Layers of Fear would be delayed since it was due out in June but there was no…
Read MoreI lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth. When you think of England’s iconic moors,…
