It’s no secret that Five Nights at Freddy’s was one of the worst films I had the displeasure of viewing in 2023. It was boring and humorless, and worst of all, there weren’t nearly enough murderous animatronics causing mayhem. However, I’ve always said knowing your audience when it comes to adapted properties is essential. Fans of the series showed up to make it one of the most successful movies of last year.

When I was just a young boy, my father would drive me deep into the woods and leave me there overnight with nothing but a gun and a can of beans. The rules were simple, if I survived until the morning I could go to Disneyland with him the next day, but if I ended up getting eaten by the wildlife or the wandering fentanyl addicts then I would forever be considered a loser. This video game helps to capture that feeling from my youth, the raw fear of it is enough to keep your palms sweaty and your heart racing. Sure, in the game you're shooting necrotic demons from some other dimension, but you can't get much closer to a fentanyl ravager than that.

Horror fans are still eagerly awaiting the upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2, but Konami made a surprise reveal today that makes the wait just a little less painful. During today's State of Play stream, Sony played a trailer for Silent Hill: The Short Message, a new free Silent Hill game that will launch of PlayStation 5 later today. Konami describes The Short Message as a "short-form" Silent Hill title that's meant to be the first of a wave of new Silent Hill games to help revive the franchise. Apparently they're not counting

🔴 The weekly recap Check out all the featured new releases. 🎮 A Plague Tale: Requiem Sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence, which sold over one million copies during its first year, A Plague Tale: Requiem is an action-adventure stealth video game. It takes players onto the adventure of Amicia and her brother Hugo. Should you play this game? Check out @Kef's quick review below, or you can watch the gameplay

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip this one. Unholy starts with an intriguing concept: You play as a mother and devout member of a strange modern-day cult who finally leaves the flock after her son is horrifically sacrificed. It’s a killer hook, but it’s sadly wasted on a game with subpar everything else—writing, voice acting, level design, stealth mechanics, all of it. TIME PLAYED I played around three or four hours of

With the popularity of this year's HBO TV adaptation, The Last of Us is arguably as popular as its ever been. But even popularity can't saved a doomed project. In a blog post today, developer Naughty Dog revealed that the long-in-development The Last of Us Online has been canceled. This project had been in development for several years now and was seen by many as a replacement for the "Factions" multiplayer mode from the original

This game Developed by The Game Kitchen, this game takes players into a dark and twisted world inspired by Spanish religious iconography, filled with grotesque enemies, challenging combat, and deep lore. With its pixel art style and haunting atmosphere, Blasphemous stands out as one of the most visually striking indie games in recent years.

SHOULD I PLAY ARTIFACT SEEKER: PROLOGUE? Definitely play this if you’re curious about Artifact Seeker, an upcoming Vampire Survivors-style game that’s about defeating huge hordes of demons and monsters and collecting artifacts and power-ups for your character. There’s a complicated-looking progression system wrapped around the whole thing, but it’s actually still very simple: this is pretty much a Sega Dreamcast version of Vampire Survivors.

It’s time to get really spooky with the latest Goose Goose Duck patch. This patch introduces a brand new map called Bloodhaven that features two new mechanics for players to learn, as well as five roles to pick up. The map is quite big too, with it featuring eight locations for survivors to explore and do tasks in. After playing for nearly two hours, I’ve had such a blast and have really enjoyed exploring the map and learning the new mechanics.

SHOULD I PLAY DREDGE: THE PALE REACH? If you dug the creepy, cozy vibes of Dredge, you’ll definitely want to check out the latest DLC. Dredge: The Pale Reach brings this lovecraftian fishing game to colder waters, adding a brand-new icy area to the game. Whether I was catching fish for a mysterious hooded figure, staring at the northern lights, or trying to avoid a surprisingly terrifying narwhal, this DLC really made

SHOULD I PLAY UNSORTED HORROR? Play it if you like horror games at all. I mean, it’s totally free, what do you have to lose? Unsorted Horror is a compilation of five brief but memorable horror experiences created by developer Mike Klubnika. While the actual gameplay is somewhat minimal here, the sense of atmosphere that Klubnika builds is second to none. This free collection operates as a first glimpse of someone who is likely to become a major name in the world of horror games, so you might as well get on board now.

Summary: Left alone in a desolate WW1 bunker with only one bullet remaining in the barrel, it's up to you to face the oppressing terrors in the dark. Keep the lights on at all costs, persevere, and make your way out alive—a genuinely intense horror experience. Verdict: Amnesia the Bunker is different from your average game out of the series. This time you can fight back, but watch your ammo. The light is your advantage, but it can come at a price if you aren't watching your stopwatch.

I’ve been playing Resident Evil games since the series really hit its stride with 1998’s Resident Evil 2, so when a game comes along that clearly loves and manages to capture what made that series special, it’s automatically on my radar. Based on my time with the demo version of Heaven Dust, it manages to do just that, with a mobile-friendly spin on survival horror that’s clearly deeply in debt to the first

SHOULD I PLAY LITTLE NIGHTMARES ON MOBILE? Play it, but use a controller if you can. Little Nightmares is a terrific puzzle adventure game, and the mobile version looks fantastic, but the touchscreen controls can be difficult to deal with. Thankfully, the game offers full controller support, so if you’re struggling to push a chair or jump over a large gap, you can switch over to something smoother. Even if you don’t have a controller to play with, this creepy-yet-cozy game is worth a closer look.

Game: Paper Lily: Chapter 1 Platform: PC Genre: Free to Play, Psychological Horror, Adventure, 2D Overview I believe many are hesitant to try new games, particularly those that look and feel like games they have grown to dislike, such as most RPGmaker games, which are better described as games with little attention to detail or charm, using the same assets and boring generic characters regardless of the story behind them most of the time. I've seen several people say that this is an

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, unless you’re too scared. Like previous releases from developer Frictional Games, Amnesia: The Bunker is not for the faint of heart. Some fans worried about the announcement of this fourth game in the Amnesia series, particularly when it was revealed that it would be the first game in the franchise to give players a weapon. Those fears were misplaced, though; the limited ammunition and other defensive options in

CLICKOLDING Developer: Strange Scaffold Publisher:  Strange Scaffold Released: July 16th, 2024 Price: $2.99 USD As I prepared to load up the recently released CLICKOLDING, I had a fundamental understanding of what it was all about and what I was getting myself into. This is a play on the concept of being or taking part in the act that is commonly referred to as "cuckolding," but the twist is that it is portrayed in this game as the act of clicking.

My God this game! A horror-puzzle-interactive game where we have 7 days to spend with a cursed painting in a studio. Many painters tried to paint it but eventually died, the only reason? Not to upset the girl in the painting. The game has a very good story line and the experience itself was very unique. You have to find the hidden objects , solve the puzzles given by the girl in the painting and paint her. The objects you place and the color you choose decide your fate. If she gets angry then it's your end. And the number of times I have been killed is uncountable. But I loved that, I loved the vibe, the sarcastic girl, the music is just so amazing. Everything is a part of ideal recipe for a horror game, the dark theme, a sad horrifying story, the lullaby music yet in between all this you are painting and adding colors to complete her. The sound effects and visual effects when you choose the colors from the palette were astonishingly good. The art work was simple 2D, the puzzles were moderately challenging but it was all so much fun because every hint you need comes from the girl's dialogues, the objects in the room, the text logs on your phone. I really loved how simple and addictive this game was. They kept everything simple but UNIQUE and INNOVATIVE ideas in terms of gaming experience.I also liked how pretty the girl was. Loved it!!!!!

I've never found cheap jump scare games like Amnesia, FNAF, and many other titles to be particularly interesting, owing in part to my preference for atmospheric horror with good storytelling to being bombarded with loud noises every few seconds. This is the first time and it will be the last time that I will sit down to play a FNAF game. I do own a copy of prior games; however, I consider it more of a collection that just sits in my library than a game that I would like to play through because I know it's nothing special. There is not much here. This is simply a video game recreation of one of the books, with some eater eggs thrown in.
