Puppet Combo Has Brought Their Throwback Slasher ‘Murder House’ to Consoles
Console gamers are no longer left out when it comes to Puppet Combo’s follow-up to Babysitter Bloodbath in Murder House. Originally released last year on Steam, the throwback PS1-styled slasher is now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch.
Earlier in the week, a listing appeared on the Microsoft Store page, with an October 14 release date. The PlayStation Store also received a similar listing for the PS4. After that, Puppet Combo took to their Twitter to jokingly (?) say that if that particular tweet received 1000 likes, the game would be made available on the Nintendo Switch. You can guess what happened.
For those of you who have yet to experience Murder House, the game has your typical cliché slasher premise. A news crew breaks into the abandoned home of an executed serial killer in order to shoot a salacious haunted house story. But, is the serial killer, the notorious Anthony Smith, aka the Easter Ripper, really dead? Or is he waiting inside?
Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
