Happy To Receive The Silent Treatment In Oxide: Room 104

Oxide: Room 104 turns that classic 'you wake up wounded in a bath tub' on its head with some clever escape room puzzles and shocking body horror elements.

Expedition Zero's Mechanics Are Cold

I’m a patient guy, but I’m not going through those spotlights again for this Expedition Zero review. That’s all mouth and no trousers though, as starting a new game, I had to repeat the same thing from the demo. Fortunately, I did it first go. A few

Syndrome On Switch Next Week

You’re not alone… that could go several paths, but in Syndrome, it’s the wrong sort as you wake up on the Valkenburg – the most advanced science space station in the Novacore. A first-person survival horror from RedDeer Games, first impressions are you’re alone as there’s nobody

The Long Reach Switch Review: Call Me Al

A failed experiment is always much more catastrophic in the world of cinema and gaming. The Long Reach is no exception, but who the hell is Alan?

Heaven Dust 2 PC Review: Freeze, Steve!

Where do we begin with this Heaven Dust 2 PC review? Perhaps from the start – or even better, starting with the Resident Evil 2 comparison. Though I’ve owned the remake for some years, I still haven’t played it, so basing this entirely on the original PlayStation game. There’

Feel The Burn With Friends In Holy Purge

If there’s anything I’ve learned from watching the Holy Purge trailer for Steam is the burn. Wow, to purge something means it all burning to damnation… This first-person survival game from Celeritas Games allows for up to three online co-op players to battle a plague head-on, fighting the

In Syndrome, Nobody Can Hear You Scream

There’s a label for all sorts of phobias and conditions, but Syndrome is a broad title that encompasses fear. That fear occurs in space as this is a sci-fi horror game coming to PS4 later this year. From RedDeerGames, the action takes place on the most advanced science space

The Caretaker Cleans Up The Streets Of Red Chapel Via Steam

Never short of a dungeon crawler, this month sees the launch of The Caretaker on PC. A dungeon – ah, just wrote that. A top-down shooter featuring the Accidental Apocalypse. They can’t always be planned. * A Q&A With imaginarylab, Creators Of Whirlight – No Time To Trip * The Best

Dark Moonlight Set To Mess With Your Head

Who doesn’t like a good survival horror? That’s rhetorical. Inspired by the excellent TV series, Black Mirror, and games such as Outlast, Resident Evil and the ultimate Silent Hill, Dark Moonlight is one to pay attention to. Dark Moonlight’s press material suggests imagining what it’s like

Hidden Shelter Proves That Cars Really Are Unreliable

Now available on Steam, Hidden Shelter – a first-person survival horror game from White Vortex focusing on exploration; the purpose, to find a lost friend. The story is of three friends who are separated after an accident. One has completely disappeared, one goes for help. Simultaneously, the third person attempts to

Martha Review: Always Carry Out Routine Maintenance On Your Vehicle

The first thing that came to mind with this Martha review is how critical car maintenance is. The number of films I’ve seen and recent games such as Silver Chains where the protagonist’s car breaks down and stops at a nearby home to use their phone. Do humour

tinyBuild Reveals Details Of Four, Count 'em New Titles

It’s been a big day for tinyBuild as they’ve given details on four new games all in one go. This news was meant to go out much earlier, but poor time management and a headache, and… well, no excuses. Let’s cut to the chase. Pigeon Simulator The

Buried In Ice Is Inspired By That Movie... What's The Thing Called?

It’s time to man up as we have another incoming survival horror in Buried In Ice. While it’s easy for me to conveniently shy away from it, the reference to The Thing has whet my appetite. Set in Antarctica, that wonderful tourist location shy of visitors, you are

Red Colony Seeks Judgement On Zombies And Cheating Husbands

After the hoo-ha with Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story, it makes me wonder how Red Colony, from Shinyuden, slips through the net without any cries of outrage. Me? I could care less, and I’m not going that route again of giving my opinion. In this 2D side scroller, you

Saturnalia Release Date Grows Near

It was just recently that I was thinking about Saturnalia and wondering how things were getting on. If it’s some sort of psychic ability that has now put a new trailer in my peripheral, then I’d best enter the lottery this week. In case you’re not familiar

Paranoid? Before Leaving The House, Wishlist This Title

How can the folk at Madmind Studio sleep? Not necessarily because they come up with some sinister creations (Succubus Prologue) but because they’re just so prolific – their latest being Paranoid. A first-person survival horror set in the 80s, Paranoid has the selling point of being ‘an extensive, psychological story

Song Of Horror Reaches Ears And Eyeballs This Halloween

Song of Horror has been confirmed for the 29th of October for both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Get your skates on. I don’t know why I put that. Monday’s used to be Horror Monday or Cyberpunk Monday, but that’s dried up a bit, despite there

Saturnalia Is Sardinia No One Can Here You Scream

An Italian survival horror title, Saturnalia will be heading to the Epic Games Store this year. Yesterday was the starter of a horror title, as always, now we have another but in the mould of a Sardinian survival horror ‘rich in regional Italian culture’. Saturnalia is a title by Santa

The Dark Pictures Anthology Little Hope This Halloween

The Dark Pictures Anthology Little Hope follows on the scares and evokes survival instincts in this horror title. Woot! The new instalment of Silent Hill is here, and we don’t have to wait until the next-gen arrives! Wait a minute… that’s not Silent Hill – but there’s a

You're Toxicant, I'm Slippin' Under

An upcoming survival horror, Toxicant, will be heading to Steam Early Access this week, with some gameplay runs on Twitch. Despite having the courage of an elephant at a mouse convention (don’t overthink it, it’s been a long day, and I can’t be original), because of all

Do Not Open Panic Room Title Coming To PSVR

I don’t feel any less of a person for admitting that the trailer for Do Not Open scares the crap out of me.  Much like the trailer for Asylum, that I covered on Steamin’ Windows, it got me rattled – and that’s a good thing, what with it being

The Coma 2 Vicious Sisters Switch Review

Teenage angst has paid off well; now I’m in The Coma 2 Vicious Sisters Switch Review. Urgh, that was awful. Oh well, I’m not changing it. I made it clear before that I’m not big on visual novels, but that doesn’t mean I won’t give

Pyramid Head From Silent Hill Joins Dead By Daylight

Seeing Pyramid Head from Silent Hill trending had me rubbing my grubby mitts while questioning whether a real-life counterpart had emerged during the lockdown. Thankfully, it’s the loveable rogue from the Silent Hill franchise, joining the roster in Dead by Daylight: Silent Hill. There’s a new map too.

Dread Nautical Out Now

Considering the number of disasters that are associated with cruise liners, I have an understandable fear of them but could be persuaded to give Dread Nautical a chance. One of the keywords in this strategy game is Lovecraftian. Though I don’t claim to be an expert, there’s something
