‘The Cat Lady’ Dev Returns to Horror With ‘Downfall’
Harvester Games has a very distinctive, high-contrast art style that caught my eye a few years ago when I played their psychological horror game The Cat Lady. There’s a surreal quality to their work that brings a dreamlike atmosphere to the virtual worlds they build that makes exploring them feel like I’m living in an old graphic novel I found in a street puddle.
I meant that in a good way.
Their latest game, Downfall, shares the same gloomy aesthetic of their previous release, so if any of the above sounds like the compliment it was meant to be, then you should check it out.
Downfall’s tale of “love, madness and murder” follows Joe as he makes a desperate attempt to rescue his marriage from ruin by taking his wife on a romantic getaway that, perhaps unsurprisingly, goes from “bad to worse, and from worse… to insanity.”
Dun Dun, Duuuunnnnnnn…
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.
