The Deep End Games is trying something new in the genre of horror gaming. Much like other games, Perception puts a near defenceless character in a scenario filled with the unexplainable and the unsettling. However this time, your protagonist is blind. Yeah, you heard me, not deaf, blind. The story follows Cassie, a young woman who must use her wits and superior sense of hearing to solve the mysteries that plague the abandoned estate of Echo Bluff. Now, don’t worry, because the game isn’t going to just throw you into a dark room and expect you to fumble your way out. In fact it’s quite the opposite.

A new trailer has been released for the upcoming supernatural film ‘The Forest’. The film is set in the real Aokigahara forest. Most of you have probably heard of Japan’s notorious forest, often referred to as the “Suicide Forest’.

The Sally Corporation revealed “The Walking Dead: Battle for Survival’, a potential theme park attraction at the International Association of Amusements Parks and Attractions convention, in hopes of finding an interested party.
