Developer Plot Twist has shared some exclusive concept art for their upcoming Lovecraftian metroidvania The Last Case of Benedict Fox. The game is coming off of its showing at Gamescom last month with a new gameplay trailer, and off of its award for “Most Wanted Xbox Game” during the event.

The art in question offers up glimpses of the world of the dead known in the game as Limbo (and the monsters within), which also showing the various locales of the world of the living you’ll be traversing. That includes the Tatooist, who was revealed in the Gamescom trailer.

The story for The Last Case of Benedict Fox takes place in 1925 Boston, where self-proclaimed detective Benedict Fox must uncover the fate of a family while traversing a dark, eerie world of emotions made manifest while battling the demon trapped inside his own body. You’ll be facing an occult order and demons in tactical and rewarding combat, exploring the realm of the arcane, and unravelling the disturbing secrets of a tragic family.

Fox’s bond with his demon allows him to descend into the consciousness of a deceased person known as the world of Limbo in order to search for clues. However, as Fox discovers more clues, Limbo will shift and become progressively dangerous. Players can use a combination of various objects, environmental surroundings, weapons, and traversal abilities in order to combat their foes.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox is currently in development for a 2023 release on Steam, the Xbox Series, and the Xbox One.

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

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.
