It’s no secret, I’m a big fan of the Remothered games. This started back when I first began to cover Remothered: Tormented Fathers, and after reviewing it, I was fascinated by the story and gameplay. Then I got the privilege to check out its sequel, Broken Porcelain, which kind of left me disappointed with its bugs. Now, it all comes down to this: the grand finale of the series, and Stormind Games were awesome again, allowing me to dive headfirst into the world of Remothered one last time with Remothered: Red Nun’s Legacy. Remothered: Red Nun’s Legacy takes us to Sicily in 2012 as we follow Susan Harper (Cissy Jones) and her husband, Angelo, who arrive at the Villa Ashmann after receiving a tape in the mail showing their kidnapped daughter. Once inside, Susan must hide for her life as she uncovers the Ashmann family’s secrets and the origin of its most notorious resident, the Red Nun (Maggie Robertson). Now. Onto the

It’s a fact that there’s a right way and a wrong way to make a horror game. Unfortunately, ASD Studio and Axyos Games’ first-person horror game, FIRE AND ASHES, has committed some of what I can call sins of horror gaming. FIRE AND ASHES follows Harry, a man who’s been institutionalized and trapped in a twisted asylum where he must fight for his survival and uncover why he’s there. The controls for FIRE AND ASHES are alright but are overcomplicated for combat for some reason. Graphics-wise, the game looks decent, along with the lighting…and that’s where the praise stops. Combat is clunky; animations for opening doors are bugged, there are supposed to be subtitles (if you turn them on), but they don’t appear, or when they do, it’s late. You can “Swim,” but I shit you not, they just animated the arms making the swimming motion, but you’re actually just WALKING underwater; yes, you sink to the bottom and just walk.

Well, this was a short one, so the review is…well…short. This is Psalm 5:9-13, possibly the creepiest game I’ve reviewed in months! There’s really no backstory to Psalm 5:9-13; you literally wake up in the dark and explore different rooms to get answers. The controls are extremely limited, as this is a walking sim. You use one button to zoom in the camera and another to interact when prompted; other than that, that’s it for controls. The sound design of the game is well done; the ambiance is creepy and makes you paranoid as you play, as some sounds seem to be designed to distract you in order to build up to a scare. The graphics are great but hidden behind a VHS filter, unfortunately. I know people like that look, but sometimes it can be a tad much; in this case, it both works for and against the game. Gameplay-wise, the game is quite simple.

Castlevania is a title that demands respect as one of the strongest franchises in gaming history and has been seen on many consoles over the years. Unfortunately for me, the only title I’ve played was Castlevania 64 for, you guessed it, the Nintendo 64. Now, years later, Konami was awesome enough to allow me to check out the latest entry in the series, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse! Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is set 23 years after the events of Castlevania III and the Netflix animated series. Tevor Belmont and his daughter Rose are in Paris after a demonic outbreak occurred and is painting the city red. The duo split up to fight monsters and find the source of the evil, which may actually be caused by an old nemesis. Now, onto the game itself! When it comes to the controls, they are very responsive and simple, almost like an old-school arcade. The game’s art is what shines the brightest for me! I’ve heard the

When Saber Interactive first emailed me saying, “We have such sights to show you…”, I knew my wish had come true; someone finally made a game based on Hellraiser, and again, Saber fulfilled my desire and granted me a chance to review it! So is this a dream come true, or a nightmare? This is Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival. The story of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival takes place 20 years after the events of the first two Hellraiser films and follows sexual deviants Aidan and Sunny, who activated the Genesis Configuration (The Puzzle Box), and the Cenobites take Sunny. Aidan now must face the Cenobites along with a bloodthirsty cult to get Sunny back. Now, onto the game itself! When it comes to the game’s controls, they’re alright. Combat is tricky, and I really don’t like how the controls are set up for the quick turn; you have to press down on the stick as you pull back on it, which sometimes

Official synopsis Never After Dark follows Airi (Hoshi), a wandering medium who spends her life guiding restless spirits out of the world of the living. Summoned to an isolated country house, she comes face to face with a grotesque apparition with powers that defy Airi’s experience. As she digs deeper into the house’s past, a secret comes to light — and Airi finds herself hunted by a far more unpredictable force. For the first time, her greatest adversary is not the supernatural, but the living. Review I’ve been waiting to see writer/director Dave Boyle’s Never After Dark since its film festival debut. Alas, my festival viewing dates and the film never matched up, but now that it is on its wide release, I finally had the opportunity to watch . . . and the wait was more than worth it. Never After Dark is the type of fear-fare feature that I don’t want to spoil in any way, because going

Today marks an unforgettable milestone for both HorrorFuel.com and me. In a groundbreaking first for our site, I had the unique privilege of sitting down for a conversation with professional psychic medium Angel Morgan. Having never interviewed a psychic medium before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, the experience turned out to be a mind-bending thrill. Angel specializes in intuitive readings for both humans and animals. This made the session especially exciting given my own bustling household of two dogs, four cats, and a flourishing number of fish. An Uncanny and Jaw-Dropping Encounter Before diving into the video, a little context makes this session all the more astounding. A few months ago, my personal Facebook account was completely deleted (long story). This forced me to start a brand-new page from scratch. As a result, the intimate details Angel brought to light during our reading don’t exist anywhere online. And we had never spoken before our interview. While I have

For a while, I’ve been hyping up Rebel Wolves and Bandai Namco’s Vampire RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker. It also seemed that a lot of people were looking forward to the game’s release, as the devs kept teasing what was awaiting players. Was the hype worth it? The Blood of Dawnwalker takes place in a fictional […]

I’ll admit, when I first saw the trailer for Hitori De Productions’ Dream Cage, I thought it was going to be an interesting concept of mixing sleep paralysis terror with spooky anomaly hunting. Sadly, this is another one of those “fooled by the trailer” horror games. From the official write-up for the game, it’s about a […]

Well… They did it again. Asobo and Focus Entertainment told another tragically beautiful story set within the universe of A Plague Tale. After the end of Requiem, like many, I was haunted by it. So when it was announced that there was a third instalment, I was beyond excited, as I was beyond excited when Asobo and Focus sent over a copy to review! This is Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. Resonance is a prequel set fifteen years before the events of the first two games in the series and follows Sophia, a smuggler who was introduced in Requiem, where she is retelling her haunting past. Plagued by visions since she was a child of a Greek Island, and nightmarish visions of a large bull, Sophia is now forced to travel to the mysterious island while being pursued by the Venetian Army. Sophia, through her visions, soon discovers that there is something terribly wrong with the island. Now, onto the
