This Nightmarish Teaser For The Survival Horror Game ‘Kodoku’ Might Swallow Your Soul
Looking at this new trailer and screenshots from the still a long ways off survival horror game Kodoku, I can’t help but wonder if its inception had anything to do with a couple game designers, a locked room, and a vat of LSD. Murderous man-scorpions? Check. Corpse-eating pigs with man heads? Check and check.
Before you click that Read More button and enter the abyss, you should know there’s a definite chance the debut teaser that I have lurking in the shadows after the jump could be dangerous. I’m not willing to write it off as “just another trailer,” because I just can’t shake the thought that it’s less a trailer and more of a newly summoned hell creature that hungers for views.
Kodoku isn’t scheduled to arrive until sometime next year, so developer Carnivore is clearly taking their time with it. I’m guessing the reasoning behind that was to allow enough time for its designers to endure a few more late night drug-induced “creativity sessions.” Don’t believe me? Watch the trailer below and decide for yourself.
Kodoku threatens to seep ever-so-slowly into our fragile minds when it arrives on the PlayStation 4 and Vita in 2015.

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
