‘The Coma 3: Bloodlines’ Launches on PC, Consoles on April 30 [Trailer]
Eight months after its reveal, Headup Games and developer Devespresso Games have announced that The Coma 3: Bloodlines will be heading to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series on April 30. And if you’re looking to check out what’s in store ahead of the game’s release, you can play the demo that’s available now on Steam.
The Coma 3: Bloodlines once again centres around the main setting of the original game, Sehwa High School, and sees its final secret revealed. Play as Youngho, Mina, and Jihyun, as you travel beyond the familiar schools and neighbourhoods and into unpredictable adventures with new missions and locations. Each character brings unique skills and perspectives, offering fresh strategies and dangers as the story unfolds.
From stealth and survival to combat – you shape how you experience the nightmare. Alongside familiar characters, Bloodlines will see new characters emerge, driving the story forward, as the narrative “weaves suspenseful survival-horror storytelling through multiple twists and the payoff of carefully crafted foreshadowing”.
Players will again venture into the Coma world, where in this realm of shadows, rumors and urban legends become reality, and all kinds of dangers lurk. If a living intruder dies here, their body will be severed from their spirit and never wake up again. Each of the three playable characters in Bloodlines will have their own unique skills and perspectives. From stealth and survival to combat – you shape how you experience the nightmare.
Netflix continues to venture into video games, announcing Unhinged, an immersive horror game that will launch on the streaming service on June 30. Developed by Night School Studio (the folks behind Oxenfree and its sequel), the play-on-TV game stars Zoë Kravitz, Sadie Sink, and for video game fans, voice actor Troy Baker.
Unhinged centres around a woman named Ava (voiced by Kravitz), who is trapped inside her apartment building by a Category 5 Hurricane. Her only link to the outside is a call from her best friend Claire (voiced by Sink), who lives across the street.
Things however take a darker turn, as the suffocating uneasiness transforms her home into a hostile prison. The building’s stairwell is locked shut, and a wellness check on a neighbor reveals unsettling signs of life, but no answer. Ava soon realizes that she is no longer alone.
Playing Unhinged has you selecting the game from the Netflix Games row and scan the onscreen QR code to link your smartphone as a controller. From there, the real-world movements on your phone track with Ava’s hands in the game, allowing you to guide her flashlight through the shadows.
The immersion goes a step further with the game’s audio. When Ava receives a call or text, your actual phone rings, vibrates, and plays the audio directly through its speaker, while the rest of the environmental sound effects come through your TV.
If you want a pure narrative experience, Unhinged offers a Story Mode which features no timer, so it prevents you from dying and lets you just play through the story. In Standard Mode, you must exercise your reflexes. During high-stakes moments, a shrinking timer bar at the top of the screen forces you to quickly scan the room for an interactive object.
If you can’t find what you need before the time runs out, you will die.
