Pieces Interactive’s new reboot of Alone in the Dark is on track to be one of 2023’s most exciting horror titles; with an intriguing mystery storyline, a unique interbellum setting, and an emphasis on creeping dread over bombastic action. In a recent press conference, the developers managed to allay any fears that this is going […]

“With all of the remakes going on today, you can never be sure what you’ll get at the end.” It was with this cautious scepticism that veteran game designer, Frédérick Raynal, initially greeted the news of his most famous creation, Alone in the Dark, getting another do-over. Which is an understandable reaction, given that this […]

Sci-fi horror is all the rage these days, with Scorn, SIGNALIS, The Callisto Protocol and the upcoming Greyhill Incident all capitalizing on the voguish trend.

Out of all the games that have spun off into multimedia empires lately, few could have predicted that Dead by Daylight would become one of our most enduring. Catering to a relatively niche demographic, it doesn’t possess the same instantaneous appeal that helped catapult the likes of Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone to mainstream […]

Alongside viral outbreaks and murderous revenants, horror games love pitting us against threats from beyond the stars.

In […]

As with any other medium, gaming phases through discrete cycles, with successive genres falling in and out of favour. The ‘90s were the heyday of mascot platformers, military shooters were all the rage towards the end of the noughties and, most recently, we’ve been living through the era of the FOMO-inducing live service. We are […]

Since the genre’s inception, collectable documents have been a staple element of survival horror, found in everything from Silent Hill to Outlast. For years, resourceful developers have been using them to establish their worlds, tease upcoming threats, aid players in solving puzzles, and to tell self-contained stories. Indeed, it is because these files are so […]

An unattainable ideal, perfection is out of reach for any artist, whether they are composing a symphony, developing a prestige TV show, or writing an epic novel. Even those who are assumed to be masters of their respective crafts have to compromise from time to time. Not to mention, they are also susceptible to plain […]

Some of cinema’s most legendarily terrifying moments come from the unlikeliest of places. Whether you were inflicted with lasting trauma from a childhood favorite like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, or were scarred as an adult by that infamous Trainspotting baby, there’s a decent chance that something from outside the horror genre has given you the […]

Although they aim to provoke contrary emotional responses, horror and comedy needn’t be mutually exclusive. Granted, they are strange bedfellows but can pair together nicely under the right circumstances. Indeed, some of our most beloved scary movies also happen to be quite effective rib ticklers. Even if you discount those that occupy the realm of […]

Gazing down from a rickety platform, about 7 or 8 stories high, our field of vision is restricted by a thick fog embankment. All that we can really make out in these obfuscating weather conditions is the surrounding treeline and a few nearby sheds that offer very little in the way of protection. To make […]

Even the greatest movies can take a while to successfully connect with their intended audience. A lot of films that we now consider to be above reproach were initially written off by contemporary viewers. Some were purposefully made to challenge, alienate, and provoke (like your Blade Runners or your Fight Clubs), but just as many […]

Evolving from humble beginnings — which can be traced back to an unassuming internet discussion board, circa 2007— The SCP Foundation has really come a long way over the past 15 years. And it’s earned itself quite the fan base as a result. It’s not difficult to see why a tantalizing concept like this one […]

With all the things that can feasibly go wrong, the promising ideas that are heartbreakingly jettisoned (for either time or budgetary reasons), and the stresses that come with meeting a looming deadline, it’s extraordinary that anybody manages to get a video game released. Irrespective of how well the end result turns out; you have to […]

“The amount of people who want to be morticians, or have some kind of interest in embalming, is alarmingly high!” Brian Clarke (aka DarkStone Digital) discovered just how common it is to have this ghoulish fascination with death, when he released his initial prototype for The Mortuary Assistant back in 2020. Serving as a 10-minute […]
