This Nightmarish Teaser For The Survival Horror Game ‘Kodoku’ Might Swallow Your Soul

Published

on

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.

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.
