Old-School Adventure Title ‘Terror at Oakheart’ Now Available on Steam [Trailer]
For fans of slashers and video games, developer Tainted Pact’s Lovecraftian-tinged horror adventure title Terror at Oakheart is out now on Steam, with a 15% launch discount until March 12. Reminiscent of games and films from the 80s and 90s, Terror at Oakheart sports a gorgeous pixel art style that gives it a nostalgic touch, combined with an atmospheric presentation that aims to keep you hooked.
In Terror at Oakheart, you will move through a number of sets throughout the town, where you’ll encounter a horrifying killer named Teddy, who dons a clown costume for his killing spree and terrorizes the community. As the body count rises, you must uncover the secrets behind this masked menace and the town of Oakheart itself. You’ll visit locations such as Teddy’s house, the nearby police station, a ranger station, camp areas, and others. As you explore, you’ll investigate and uncover more about Teddy and the town of Oakheart, including the realization that Teddy is under the sway of a Lovecraftian monster.
Players will step into the shoes of Eric, Ethan, Rose, Tyler and other characters as you progress and investigate. Of course, you’ll also watch as each one survives or falls at Teddy’s hands. Luckily, you’re able to hide from Teddy in closets and the like in order to escape.
If you’re still on the fence, you can always try out the Steam demo for Terror at Oakheart before you buy.

Rumour: Capcom Planning ‘Resident Evil’ Remake for Series’ 30th Anniversary, ‘Resident Evil 9’ Reveal Coming Soon
With Resident Evil Village and the Resident Evil 4 remake claiming many a wallet last year, you knew that the rumours of Capcom’s next remake of a Resident Evil game would eventually return to the one that started it all. That’s in addition to rumours for the next entry in the series, which multiple insiders have claimed is close to being announced.
As with all of these rumours, one has to take these with the usual hefty grain of salt.
The latest rumours for the next remake come from X user PRE_Alarabiya, which have been corroborated to some extent by industry insider DanielRPK on his Patreon, as well as YouTuber Biohazard Declassified. The rumours revolve around Capcom supposedly planning a remake of the original Resident Evil for 2026, which would coincide with franchise’s 30th anniversary. According to Biohazard Declassified, they had received an email from an old contact with knowledge of the remake, going as far back as early 2023.
According to their insider, the RE remake will be slower paced, similar to the remake of Resident Evil 2. Furthermore, the zombies will each have their own unique model, due to the small number of enemies within the game. They will also be tougher, requiring more bullets to put down. This new remake will also borrow from the 2002 remake with the return of the fan favourite (or not) Crimson Head enemy, as well as use the over-the-shoulder camera from the other recent remakes.
Meanwhile, the ninth entry has its own set of rumours, which also includes input from longtime industry insider Dusk Golem. According to PRE_Alarabiya’s sources, the new game will centre around Leon Kennedy in the game’s introduction, which will take place in Southeast Asia in the summer of 2025. Note the specificity, as according to the source, the character “may change with the passage of events.”
This potential change is also acknowledged by Dusk Golem, who says that this information comes from 2021, notably after the November 2020 security data incident that saw Capcom hit with a ransomware attack. Dusk Golem goes on to say that Capcom potentially could reveal Resident Evil 9 this summer, with the game releasing in January 2025. However, this supposed release date is not set in stone, as RE9 could see a release in 2026.
Obviously, Capcom is remaining tight-lipped about anything related to Resident Evil at the moment, but with the 2024 edition of Summer Game Fest being right around the corner (June 7, to be exact), we could have our answer to some of these rumours very soon.
