‘Disgaea’ Dev Teases New Horror Game
Japanese developer Nippon Ichi Software has started teasing their next game, and it sure looks spooky. Its first teaser doesn’t reveal much, probably because it’s too busy creeping and crawling its way under your skin in a Blair Witch meets Slender sort of way. I’m no familiar enough with the studio to be able to guess what it might be, but rumor has it this may be our first look at a horror game for the PS Vita titled Yomawari, or “Nightwatch”.
Whatever this is, it’s almost definitely a horror game inspired by Japanese folklore, and there’s plenty room for that. I’m sure that Wii-exclusive Ju-On game could use the company.
Did you hear that scratching noise behind you? That means you’re either about to die an agonizing death, or it’s time for an irrelevant fact. I can’t tell if you’re alive, so I’m going to tell you, or your corpse, about how “Night Watch” is also the name of the first in a series of novels penned by Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko. Someone needs to start adapting that.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
