When I first heard of this game, I saw it on a post on Twitter showing testing of the combat animation and was instantly taken in by the look (though it was roughly done) but now Tormented Souls has been unleashed and PQube was amazing enough to let me have a look-see at their game that touts its bringing back classic survival horror. Tormented Souls follows Caroline Walker, a young woman who was suddenly called on to visit an abandoned mansion that is also a hospital, upon arriving she is knocked out and wakes up in a nightmarish scenario where twisted creatures roam the halls and her only weapon is a nail gun.

No surprise as the game is heavily inspired by “Resident Evil” and “Silent Hill”, which you definitely see a

The upcoming, still untitled, Pet Sematary prequel is still adding cast members to its roster. Variety is reporting that “actor, disability advocate and double hand amputee” John W. Lawson (“American Horror Story”) has now joined the cast and will star as “Stanny”. This marks the first time a double amputee has been cast in a leading role. The character was originally not an amputee and was rewritten just for the actor. I have myoelectric hands… or what people commonly call ‘cyborg,’” Lawson told the site. “But most of the time, it’s just my hooks.” . After Lawson auditioned and got a call back he learned that new scenes had been written just for him. “And when I got the new sides,” He said to Variety, “they had completely written the role for the character to be an amputee. Which was freakin’ awesome. Because it was not [an amputee role before] in any way. That, to me, was a real turning
