Carrion, the so-called “reverse horror game” from Phobia Game Studio, will be coming not just to PC but Xbox One as well, publisher Devolver Digital recently announced.
Originally released in 1995 for the Super Famicom, Romancing SaGa 3 tells the stories of eight separate protagonists, each with a distinct personality and motives; the game, despite its unique take on the genre, has stayed in Japan over the years and is now coming to western shores for the first time.
The offer only affects the base game, but it’s available on all platforms, so whether you’re on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, you can jump in right away and start exploring.
Valkyria Chronicles 4, SEGA’s unique tactical RPG from last year, has received a new update on PC that’s made the title’s DLC offerings – every single one of them – free for everyone who owns the base game on Steam.
The game, which was originally released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2017, tells the story of a world overtaken by daemons – however, after years of oppression, humanity decides to stand up against their monstrous overlords and form a rebellion to retake their homeland.
The overall premise of being stranded on a Mars base and having to tackle Lovecraftian horrors is nothing if not promising – it’s positively brimming with potential waiting to be tapped.
Minoria stars two agents of the Church – Sister Semilla and her partner Fran – on a mission to stop the witches from conducting a heretical ceremony, but frankly, if you’re coming to this game primarily for the plot, you might as well turn around now.
Right as one boots up Eldervale, the influences of early Silent Hill installments can immediately be felt: the player is thrust into a multi-storey building and has to rely on their trusty map to navigate the place, look for key items, solve mind-bending puzzles and occasionally bash in the head of an undead nurse or two with a steel pipe, although that last bit is somewhat optional.
The Sinking City sees you take on the role of a private detective haunted by mysterious visions, who then journeys to the city of Oakmont to uncover the truth behind his unsettling dreams. This, as one might expect, brings him face to face with all sorts of unusual phenomena and a host of peculiar citizens as he explores streets stricken by flood and famine alike.
Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy! HD is, as the title not-so-subtly implies, the HD re-release of a freeware adventure game from 10+ years ago, featuring pirates, puzzles, leprechauns and an extremely – and I do mean *extremely* – wide beard.
