Before diving into this week’s episode, check out this month’s edition of Horror Bytes in which Neil and I highlight bite sized indie horror games.

Greeting demons with a double barrel of buckshot never truly goes out of style. Things have been id Software heavy here at Safe Room, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Last week’s episode, highlighting Wolfenstein 3D’s laying the FPS blueprint was the perfect primer for this week’s chat about Doom. Much like Wolfenstein, […]

Where would we be without Wolfenstein? In every genre, there is a game that becomes synonymous with it, and with the first-person shooter space, that game is Wolfenstein 3D. Not only the blueprint for decades of corridor exploring FPS titles but serves as a timeless example of just how malleable the horror genre could be. […]

Lee and Clementine may be the de-facto leads of Telltale’s episodic series, but it’s Kenny’s story that has always stayed with me the most. At a casual glance, Kenny is portrayed as a stereotypical Florida hick. Fiercely protective of what’s his, quick to anger, and capable of selfish, stupid acts. As his story progresses, however, […]

It’s Alien Day, so it follows there must be some new Alien-related things getting announced in both an official and unofficial capacity. The day has started well as seasoned games journalist Andy Kelly has announced he’s writing an extensive, in-depth, companion book for Creative Assembly’s 2014 game Alien: Isolation. The book, titled ‘Perfect Organism‘, will […]

During the last decade of gaming, the indie horror boom was full of interesting development journeys. Small teams, or indeed solo developers, brought a more precise, personal feeling to the horror game genre, just as the mainstream aspect of it was becoming diluted by attempts to pander to the masses. The result was a staggering […]

Having lived through the wave of games that inspired it, the first-person shooter revival represents an exciting time. It’s like having my youth remixed in new and exciting ways. The bare bones of what made shooters great in the 90s and early 2000s with some modern flair? Sign me up again and again. One of […]

All sorts of neat tricks have accentuated the horror experience on PS5 for me so far. The DualSense controller’s combination of speaker, adaptive triggers, and haptics being chief among them. The pulse headset adds further depth with its sublime 3D audio, but there’s something about the Razer Kaira Pro headset that really elevates horror gaming […]

Blazing Bit Games manages to stuff an awful lot into Nightmare Reaper. On the surface, it appears to be the latest in a growing procession of retro-inspired first-person shooters. Instead, it’s a delightfully bizarre fusion of that, a rogue-lite, mini-games, and looter shooter that goes to some interesting, if sometimes incoherent, places. After several years […]

We pick up a proton pack and throw out a trap to catch a glimpse of IllFonic’s ‘Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed’ in our preview of the new multiplayer experience. In hindsight, it’s actually quite surprising we hadn’t seen an asymmetrical multiplayer Ghostbusters game before now. The format feels right for the license. IllFonic has spent the […]

In Bloody Disgusting’s Ghostwire: Tokyo review, we find comfort in the melancholy as well as the melodramatic of this Tokyo ghost story. Ghostwire: Tokyo is not the follow-up to The Evil Within 2 you might expect from Tango Gameworks. Yet it clearly shares in its predecessor’s DNA. It deals in the art of death, but […]
