The highly-buzzed about horror-comedy PG: Psycho Goreman (reviews here and here) makes its exclusive Shudder premiere this May following its release on DVD.

Hidden Fields and MWM Interactive were awesome enough to allow me the chance to check out their unique horror tale set in the Swiss Alps, Mundaun. The game follows a young man returning to the village of Mundaun where he grew up after receiving news that his grandfather died where shortly afterward the grandson soon discovers that there’s more to the story and a threat from the past awaits. Now onto Mundaun itself. The controls are very easy to master and not over thought out. The game handles well from its default settings so players are able to just start the game and go without any tweaking. When it comes to sound, finally, a game that does it right! The ambient sounds are not ridiculously loud or clearly on a loop but actually sound like how I would imagine it would be in the Alps, I’ll admit, I like it at one part in the story when you’re inside the
