Being trapped in a facility – or on a spaceship – while a hostile alien entity is trying to hunt you down is likely a video game premise we’ve all heard of: from Amnesia: The Dark Descent to Alien: Isolation, a large variety of games have made sure that the idea of playing a deadly cat-and-mouse game with a relentless adversary would become an integral part of the horror genre’s collective consciousness.
Awesomenauts developer Ronimo Games has announced a July 29 launch date for the Steam Early Access version of multiplayer dungeon crawler Blightbound.
Created by Stian Willums, one of the developers on 2016’s horror adventure Through the Woods, the game tells the story of Amund Vreim, a young man who ends up taking a job as a substitute caretaker at an aging Norwegian church – and then, as you might expect, strange things start happening.
In Deathground, you and potentially a couple of other people are dropped into zones teeming with clever, reactive dinosaurs that can and will hunt you down if you’re not quick on your feet – so get in there, collect some loot, then get out before you end up becoming dino food.
Set in the same universe as the popular Vampire: The Masquerade franchise, the game will focus on the eternal struggle of werewolves as they try to save Gaia – our world – from death and corruption; in Earthblood, you take on the role of a werewolf named Cahal, a former exile who now returns to his old clan to fight the evil corporation of Endron.
Formerly titled Undermine, the game has you explore a haunted mining complex where every level is randomly generated, thus offering a unique mix of classic survival horror gameplay and roguelite elements.
Greedfall developer Spiders has announced its latest project, and it’s… quite interesting, to say the least.
Fantasy action-RPG Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, as we have known since June, is getting a graphically updated remaster – although not in August, as the initial leak suggested, but rather on September 8.
Written and directed by Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka, Death Come True starts out with a man called Makoto Karaki waking up in a hotel room he has no recollection of ever entering.
Boasting a storyline created by writers and designers who had previously worked on horror titles such as SOMA and The Bunker, Maid of Sker will whisk players away to a late 19th century hotel with a tortured past, and will feature survival gameplay with 3D sound-based AI, as well as enemies that can even detect when the player bumps into various objects in the environment.
