You’ve Never Played Anything Like This Junji Ito-Inspired Horror Game
26.10.2023
I notice that people get kind of misty-eyed when they talk about the Junji Ito-inspired roguelite role-playing game World of Horror. If it were their cold husband, they’d have been wanting to hold it for a long time. It’s been out in some capacity, either as a demo or in early access, since 2017...

25.10.2023
The other day, the official Twitter account for Alan Wake 2 tweeted, “You must write to escape…” and I felt my blood run cold. As a writer who knows the agony of writer’s block—the fear of looking inside myself and having to face all the doubts and insecurities lurking in my dark places as...

You Can Play This Life-Ruining Horror Game On Steam For Free
2.10.2023
How Fish Is Made is a horror game about life-altering choices. You can’t immediately tell from the free Steam game’s dumpy sardine graphics, I know. It and its new Katamari Damacy-type expansion, (which primarily serves as an entertaining ad for Swedish developer Wrong Organ’s forthcoming game...
You Haven’t Seen Anything Like This Horror Game Before
15.9.2023
A recently released Steam demo tells me psychological survival horror game Holstin is unmistakably Slavic. I’ve been waiting for this. My Bulgarian mom and her mom, my baba, raised me to be loud and pessimistic, but always protected from true gloom by the laminated Virgin Mary we remorsefully held...

You’ve Never Heard Of This Life-Changing Horror Game
2.8.2023
Homebody is an unassuming horror game at first, set up similarly to recent socially anxious thrillers like Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) and All My Friends Hate Me (2021): you’re late to meet up with old friends, they may or may not be mad, and there’s a killer, you think. But across the four hours...
Resident Evil 4 Plus Doom Equals…2D Side-Scroller?
26.7.2023
Sometimes a game is so good that it never dies, it just evolves and adapts with time. Such is the case of Resident Evil 4, a game that continues to be remade, modded, remastered, and tweaked by Capcom and fans alike. The latest stab at reinventing the classic horror game turns it into a...
Fantastic New Horror Game Mixes Sesame Street With Resident Evil
19.7.2023
I love The Muppets and Sesame Street. With their loveable puppets and goofy characters, these shows are quintessential children’s TV. However, I also have this odd fear. What if the puppets in those shows were real? Like actually existed in our world? Would they all be immortal? Powerful?...

We’re done with half of 2023 and many of its fantastic horror games, though there’s more on the way (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Alan Wake 2, and the Silent Hill 2 remake are still due out). That means we’ve willingly subjected ourselves to lots of stone-cold death scenes—enough to compile in...

This Horror Game Gives You A Virtual Girlfriend From Hell
5.7.2023
Fairy tales and Drew Barrymore movies taught me that a girl with butterflies in her stomach might be easily inconvenienced by some weird guy (either a literal beast or an everyman who acts like one), but the fluttering is a product of purity, clear like a raindrop. Without a sword or a big-shot...

Last month, Remedy announced Alan Wake II, the long-anticipated sequel to its 2010 action game, won’t be released on a disc when it launches on October 17. This news was upsetting to those who prefer to have a physical game on their shelf, but in an interview with Eurogamer, creative director...
Tears of the Kingdom Is Another Zelda That's Low Key A Horror Game
23.6.2023
Though The Legend of Zelda franchise often dips into the eerie and the occult, its dominant mode is one of high adventure. Rather than associating the Japanese series with horror, we imagine a blonde boy swinging his sword in service of rescuing the princess against a backdrop of soaring music....

This New Steam Exclusive Is Literally About Winnie The Pooh’s Hole
7.6.2023
How far tubby honey bear Winnie-the-Pooh has fallen. Now that he’s entered the public domain, he can no longer merely stumble through the painless Hundred Acre Wood stuffing his face full of dessert with no pants on. Now, he plays the swollen and bleeding protagonist to the just-announced indie...
