‘Daylight’ Wants To See Your Scared Face
The makers of the Saw video games are now hard at work on a brand new survival horror game called Daylight, which will be coming exclusively to the PC and PlayStation 4 later this year. It takes a page out of Slender’s book by throwing you in a dangerous situation armed only with a smart phone and a flashlight, and if you have a PlayStation Eye camera, it will even take pictures of you when something scary happens so you can share them with your friends.
Now, I’ve never been overly accused of having an excess of bravery, so I’m pretty sure my “scared face” isn’t all that flattering. If you’re ever in a self-deprecating mood, at least Daylight gives you the option of sharing your shame with those who will judge you.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
