Enjoy the Beauty & Horror in ‘The Land of Pain’ Trailer

Published

on

Fancy some more Lovecraftian-inspired gaming? Today a new trailer for Alessandro Guzzo’s The Land Of Pain was released, which showcases both the beauty and the potential horror of the CryEngine-powered title. Set to hit Steam September 13th, the game takes a cue from titles like Amnesia: The Dark Descent, where you must use your wits to solve puzzles while avoiding the pursuing enemy out for your blood.

Featuring a huge map with a variety of areas to explore, you must also use the environment to seek shelter from whatever it is that’s hunting you. Armed only with a lantern, you must decide when to use it, as you’re more vulnerable when you’re away from the comfort of your dark hiding places.

To learn more about the game, hit up its Steam page, where you can also download the demo.

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.”
