Moonville’s Mystery Horror Game is Called ‘Conscious Mind’
Developer Moonville Entertainment released a mesmerizing teaser trailer earlier today for Conscious Mind, the horror mystery game the studio first teased in December. Watching it gives the impression you’re seeing through the glassy eyes of a sleepwalker whose journey through cold corridors is peppered by surreal, but not quite sinister, visuals that give the whole thing a dreamy quality. It’s all very ambiguous, offering little in the way of concrete details, but it certainly makes an impression and Moonville promises “there is more to it than meets the eye. Prepare for a story of twisted minds and forget everything you think you know. This will be different.”
Conscious Mind is a welcome addition to the growing list of near-photorealistic psychological horror games inspired by the cancellation of Hideo Kojima’s Silent Hills — the developer even included a special thanks to Kojima with the video — but it also immediately sets itself apart as not being just another “haunted house simulator” like P.T. was. This is one to watch.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
