Indie Horror ‘Quadrant’ Makes A 1970s NASA Lab Terrifying
Looks like I can add another title to my list of upcoming horror games that are worth being excited about. Developed by indie developer HKFiftyOne Games, “Quadrant” is set in a NASA lab that was quarantined after a mysterious substance leakage. As a member of a bio-hazardous waste removal crew, you’re tasked with taking care of it, but because this is a survival horror game, that substance is very much alive and hungry for… your blood. Or something like that.
Check out both of “Quadrant’s” eerie teaser trailers after the jump.
“Quadrant” is scheduled to arrive this August. Interestingly enough, I’ve actually played one of HKFiftyOne’s earlier games, the free indie horror game “Cold Fusion”. You can watch that here.

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.
