Escape the Afterlife in ‘Twin Peaks’-inspired ‘Necrosphere’
Yeah, we’re all bummed about the finale of Twin Peaks. But, what if I told you that developers Cat Nigiri have just released their Metroidvania-styled game, Necrosphere, that take a few cues from Lynch’s acclaimed series?
Necrosphere is a bite-sized pixellated challenge of a game, where you take on the role of Agent Terry Cooper, who has found himself in the afterlife (the Necrosphere). Your goal is to find the portals that can take you back to regular life (the Normalsphere). The catch is that you can only use two buttons for the entire game.
So yes, expect to die plenty of times as continually try to even make it to a checkpoint. But just like games like Super Meat Boy, Dark Souls and countless other deathfests, you’ll keep trying. Currently, the game is on for 10% off through September 7, so get to it.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
