‘Chains Of Darkness’ Will Soon Allow You To Sell Your Soul
We don’t talk terribly much about mobile games here, mostly because there’s a seemingly endless amount of them and we’d get swamped trying to tackle the market. But sometimes a title comes through and we have to give it some love because of one of many reasons.
Enter Chains Of Darkness, a card collecting-based RPG that was developed by Spicy Horse, the team led by American Mcgee, of American McGee’s Alice fame, who were also behind The Gate and Alice: Madness Returns.
The game’s synopsis reads:
A group of damned souls journey through the depths of Hell, seeking an escape from eternal punishment. Led by the mysterious and demanding William, the group must learn to collect, train, and fight demons. As the story unfolds, players will find themselves exploring questions of self-reliance, trust, and the meaning of Hell.
The game is based on the F2P model, which stands for Free-To-Play. You don’t have to pay for the game but there are items and ways to advance in the game that end up costing money.
McGee humorously tells Bloody-Disgusting:
I figure F2P games are so frequently demonized for being evil, bloodsucking, etc… we might as well put in the ultimate “exchange mechanic.”
This “ultimate exchange mechanic” is that the play can actually “sell their soul” – in-game, of course – in exchange for 500 pieces of gold. Now, we haven’t been told what that means or what it will do to your character, but this mechanic is a great way to poke fun at the scorn that a lot of F2P games get.

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
