In Bloodlusters, the most recent effort by a loose collective Pham calls “Crowseeds and friends,” players control ghosts that have kidnapped a vampire princess. In order to repel the sparkly bloodsuckers that come to find her, they must haunt various household items to act as their towers.
From Castlevania to Resident Evil, the horror genre is full of gothic castles, incomprehensible living horrors, and cryptic notes. So many notes.
Requiem, the latest effort from solo developer Justin Herrick, is no exception.
In upcoming card-collector RPG Sudden Soul, players take control of a party of civilians that have woken up with powers after a blackout in the city of Oasys. None of them are supposed to be heroes, but they just might become them in order to save themselves and their city.
One of horror’s greatest strengths is its ability to mirror societal anxieties and force its audience to come to terms with the real horrors that surround them.

In Raysing!, you’re a car. Your friends are cars, too. There are no humans on this island. Have fun exploring.
Ghoul Kazool is an alt-control experiment where players use either their keyboard or the custom “kazool” controller to make sounds and rack up “Ghoul Power” in an endless rave throughout looping days and nights.
