The Survival Horror MMO ‘Nether’ Enters Steam Early Access, Let’s Celebrate With A Creepy New Trailer
When it comes to quality survival horror MMOs, with the exception of The Secret World, the pickings are slim. That’s where developer Phosphor Games comes in with their unnerving MMO, Nether, which brings together elements of first person shooters with the atmosphere and twisted creatures of Silent Hill. It’s first showing was a little rough, this looks incredibly polished.
If mowing down freaky ink monsters and assorted other creatures with your friends sounds fun, Nether is available on Steam Early Access and for a limited time the game will be 10% off. Check out its creepy new trailer after the jump!

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.
