Action RPG ‘Gothic’ To Possibly Be Remade

THQ Nordic Barcelona is giving gamers the chance to offer their opinion on their upcoming project, a remake of cult classic Action RPG, Gothic. Players and fans of the popular series are invited to play the “Playable Teaser” which can show fans the true potential of how the game can look and feel once it’s finished. If fans approve it may take some time for the game to be released as the small development team plans to rebuild the game from the ground up fixing issues that plagued the game since 2001 (like the combat system). The two-hour-long prototype of Gothic is available on Steam and is only accessible for free to those who own any of the following titles Gothic, Gothic 2, Gothic 3, Risen, Risen 2, Risen 3, or ELEX.

‘Chained: A Victorian Nightmare’ Coming To VR

MWM Interactive is bringing the chills in time for the holidays with a haunting retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic Victorian ghost story, A Christmas Carol in the new VR experience ripped right from the pages, Chained: A Victorian Nightmare. Chained: A Victorian Nightmare is an interactive first-person where players can experience the long night of facing the past, present, and future through the eyes of Scrooge himself. The game itself is moody and atmospheric staying true to the original source material which is darker than what we were told as kids (cheeky Victorians). The game will be available later this month for the Oculus Rift, Steam, and HTC Vive for $5.99.

Game Review: ‘Jurassic World Evolution: Return To Jurassic Park’ Takes You Back To 1993

The latest DLC for Frontier Development’s business/theme park simulation Jurassic World Evolution is possibly its biggest yet! The “Return to Jurassic Park” DLC brings back Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum in their iconic roles from the film series and picks up where their first adventure left off. In the game, players return to Isla Nublar to help Drs Grant and Sattler, and Ian Malcolm as they’re helping John Hammond to get control back of the island, repair damaged facilities, and get dinosaurs under control so the park can finally open to the public. The story also includes a young Cabot Finch who is in charge of finances in the main game but in the DLC is Hammond’s intern. The DLC not only has the buildings from 1993 (that can be carried over into the main game) but two new dinosaurs, the Compys and Pterandons, and two new attractions, the self-driving tour jeeps from the first film, and the

New Chapter In “Outlast” Game Series In Development

Red Barrels have announced that the long-awaited third installment in their popular first-person horror game franchise “Outlast” is in the works as we speak! The game has two main games and one DLC titled Whistleblower that follows the events of the first game. In the game’s series, players have to run and hide from psychotic individuals and behemoths while at the same time dealing with their inner demons. What sets “Outlast” apart from other horror games is the in your face terror players experience as the games take place in very dark locations and the only way you can see anything is through the viewfinder of a night vision camcorder. Though the first two games and Whistleblower are related, the third installment titled The Outlast Trials is its own story but takes place in the same universe as the other games. The story takes place in the middle of the Cold War era where players take on the role of

‘Liquid Death’ Murders Thirst For A Cause: Product Review

If you’re not new here you know we at Horror Fuel share a dark sense of humor that’s often shared by you the readers. Turns out there’s a company out there with the same sense of humor when it comes to their product, spring water. Let me introduce you to Liquid Death, a company and product with a unique approach to drinking spring water, by serving it in a can. “A can?” you ask, yes in a can. Liquid Death was awesome enough to share with me their head-turning product to try and all I can say is, yeah it’s water, but you kinda feel like a badass drinking it! The story behind the product is simple; Liquid Death does not want to use plastic bottles to sell their water because of the risk of the bottles ending up in the ocean along with other plastics. I know you’re saying “But plastic can be recycled!” yes and no. You can

Game Review: ‘Lost Ember’ Shines Brightly

German indie game developer Mooneye Studios allowed me the honor to take a crack at Lost Ember, their debut game. This third-person adventure game takes you the adventure of a wolf with the ability to shape-shift into other animals as you explore lands once occupied by a civilization of people called the Yanrana. As mentioned, you play as a wolf. But there’s more to that, the wolf in a past life was a member of the Yanrana people whose soul is not permitted to pass to the afterlife. Fate brings the wolf together with the lost soul of a long-dead Yanrana who needs help passing to the next life; these are known as “Lost Embers”. The soul accompanies the wolf as the animal retraces its past life to uncover a way to help it pass on as well but along the way the wolf is granted a mysterious power that allows it to possess any creature it finds meaning that
