‘Agony’ Secures Physical Release, Game Expansion Planned
Some mixed news from Madmind Studio and their upcoming first-person trip to hell in Agony. On the bad news front, the game will see a delay in release until probably the end of 2017. The good news, however, far outweighs the bad.
On the game’s Kickstarter page, Madmind Studio announced that they’re secured a deal with an additional publisher that will allow Agony to be physically released on PC, XBox One and Playstation 4. As a result, the game will be expanded in scope, including the additional playable characters that were originally proposed as part of the initial Kickstarter campaign!
As an extra bonus, Agony will now have multiple endings (seven in total), which as Madmind explains, “will be an award for the most hardcore players, who will take their time to find all of the secrets, hiding in the shadows of hell”. As well, the endings join together to create a complete story.
Want more? Now that the game will see a physical release, Madmind is having a vote to choose the cover art from the set seen below! Simply head over to the game’s Facebook page and vote. Simple as that.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
