Enter The World Of 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' With Funko's Upcoming Tabletop Game

Enter The World Of ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ With Funko’s Upcoming Tabletop Game

Game Review: Stay Out of the House (2023) - Nintendo Switch

Game Review: Stay Out of the House (2023) – Nintendo Switch

In an effort to make us experience first-hand the kind of terror present in the sinister slashers that appeared just a tick before the genre’s Golden Age, Puppet Combo brings us Stay Out of the House; a new vicious video game now available on the Nintendo Switch. In direct defiance of the games title, your ass definitely does not want to Stay Out of the House, in fact it won’t be much of a game if you do! Rather, after playing through a couple of prologue stories (which aren’t mandatory, but naturally they add considerably to the world building at hand while offering a tense yet less intense experience than the main event… and one of them has a playable, Driller Killer-esque arcade game, so HUGE fuckin’ plus there boils n’ ghouls) you make your way to the eponymous structure, in which you will stealthy avoid the cannibals (including hiding from them underneath various pieces of furniture) that call the

Game Review: 'GYLT'

Game Review: ‘GYLT’

Bullying is possibly the worse thing to happen to anyone growing up, and sadly it still happens even when we’re adults. What if these events manifest into a living nightmare and the world becomes surreal? This is what happens in Tequila Works’ dark puzzle adventure game GYLT. I want to give a big thank you to Tequila Works for sending me a copy in advance! GYLT follows Sally, a girl who is searching for her missing cousin Emily who everyone seems to have given up on finding except for Sally. While being chased by some bullies, Sally finds herself in a strange version of the world where monsters are stalking in the shadows of her school and the surrounding area, with Emily inside the school! Now onto the game itself! GYLT‘s controls are relatively simple and a tutorial that seems to stick around for a while before the meat and potatoes of the game begin to help cement your understanding

Game Review: ‘Burnhouse Lane’

Feardemic has teamed up with Harvester Games to bring their latest dark tale to consoles, Burnhouse Lane. Originally meant to be the sequel to Harvester’s The Cat Lady before becoming its own stand-alone story that will make you smile, cry, and question everything. I want to thank Feardemic and Harvester Games for the chance to review the game that’s well-loved on STEAM. Burnhouse Lane follows Angie, a nurse who is still coping with the loss of her love while having to face her mortality with terminal cancer. Angie get’s assigned to help out an elderly man in the country but as soon as she takes the job, things get dark quickly as she finds herself in a dark and twisted world that she wishes to escape. Now onto the game itself. Burnhouse Lane‘s controls are very straightforward as the game is side-scrolling where at most you have to interact with objects and the scenery, it’s suggested to play the game

The Two-Way Street of Gaming and Horror

The Two-Way Street of Gaming and Horror

Relationships between different forms of media have always been a part of the entertainment environment. Novels, comics, and movie adaptions have long been working together successfully, as demonstrated by hits like the films in the MCU. While among the newer entries to the arena, video games illustrate a level of potential still on the rise. This two-way street is becoming more popular by the year, where horror could be among the most natural fits. So where have we seen this play out, and why is this relationship in horror specifically so well-poised to take off in the coming years? From TV and Movies to Gaming The origins of TV and movie horror finding its way into gaming came from simple franchising efforts. Video games built to capitalize on the popularity of horror movies have been a popular pursuit for decades, breaking out into the public eye back in the 2D era. Here, titles like Friday the 13th for the NES
