Navigate an Abandoned Mine to Earn Your Freedom in ‘Vacant’s Mine’ [Trailer]

Published

Refugium Games are back once again, this time taking a cue from the likes of Choo-Choo Charles and Five Nights at Freddy’s with their subterranean Survival Horror title, Vacant’s Mine. Set for release on PC via Steam on March 29, Vacant’s Mine has working to earn your freedom in a most unusual way: stealing eggs.

The story goes that you’ve been arrested. In order to earn your freedom, you just need to work seven days in a mine for a man known as Vacant. Sounds easy, right? Well, the truth is that the mine is abandoned, save for creatures known as Greebs. Your mission is to use the mine railway and a plunger (yes, you read that correctly) to navigate through mine to steal Greebs eggs. And to make things interesting, Vacant requires different eggs each day.

While you’re busy on your egg hunt, you’ll need to use the railway’s navigation system, manipulate conjunctions, move bridges and try to stay covered in light to avoid getting caught by the Greebs in their nests. Oh, and you’ve got limited electricity in order to do that. Along the way, you’ll discover terminal logs left behind from the miners who experienced the horror of the Greebs outbreak, and before the mine was turned into a prison camp. All this in order to gain information about the egg positions. Also, keep an eye out to loot some old scrap to upgrade your railway cart.

‘Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II’ Out Now on PC, Xbox Series and Game Pass [Trailer]

Published

Fans waiting patiently to return to the world of Senua in Ninja Theory’s Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II can finally do so today. The sequel to 2017’s award winning Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is available now on PC via Steam, the Xbox Series, and Xbox Game Pass.

Hellblade II takes place after the events of the previous game, where Senua has returned from Hel. Confronted with the devastation of her homeland at the hands of Viking raiders, Senua undertakes a brutal journey of survival through the myth and torment of Viking Iceland in order to exact revenge for the victims of the raiders.

The new trailer continues what we’ve previously seen from the game in terms of its visuals, as well as touching on the psychological horror aspects, as Senua must grapple with the effects of her psychosis. At the same time, these voices also serve as a guide for Senua.

At the same time, we’re also given glimpses of the revamped combat that awaits Hellblade II, which certainly gives off that “visceral” feel that Ninja Theory had alluded to during development.

And for those who “walked in late”, you can also get up to speed for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II with the recap trailer that Ninja Theory released last week.
