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…
Read MoreLast week, Nintendo released a bizarre teaser trailer titled Emio. (It has since been edited to include the entire title.) It is grainy. It is creepy. I don’t think anyone could make sense of the 15-second trailer consisting mostly of a person wearing a beige trench coat and a paper…

The title is very clearly a pun, especially stylized as CLICKHOLDING, but as of now that fact just raises more questions than anything; and…
Read MoreIt’s not 2022 (though try telling my brain that) so the “anniversary” part isn’t wholly accurate anymore, but Atari is launching a new Expanded Edition of game compilation/retrospective Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration anyway. It adds two new timelines and nearly 40 games to the original compilation release. The updated…
