A Lot of Horror Games Just Released; What Are You Playing?

Published

on

Here we are, standing on the precipice of what may very well be the most exciting time of the year. Sept-Nov is a great time to be a gamer, but it’s also a terrible time to be broke, as I usually am. Thankfully, not every new release carries that premium, and sometimes intimidating, $60 price tag. If you’re on a budget, there’s a number of new releases that won’t take as big a toll on your wallet.

This month has seen the arrival of a bevy of indie horror games, including Doorways: The Underworld, Slender: The Arrival, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Neverending Nightmares and Kraven Manor. Every one of those games is available now, and none of them will cost you more than $20m but if premium prices don’t scare you, Dead Rising 3 also arrived on Steam.

Now that we’ve established what’s out there, I’d like to know which game(s) you’re playing.

We’re all about horror here on Bloody Disgusting, so the options I have in the below poll are all of the horror persuasion. I’m sure your tastes are more diverse than that, so if you’re playing one or more non-horror games, I’d love to hear what’s keeping you busy in the comments.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
