Delve Into Lovecraftian Horror With ‘Conarium’
H.P. Lovecraft is a goldmine for video game properties, whether as inspiration or a direct basis. Add another one to the lineup with Zeotrope Interactive’s new adventure game, Conarium.
Releasing today on Steam and published by Iceberg Interactive, the game takes inspiration from Lovecraft’s famous “At The Mountains of Madness” novella, and follows four scientists and their endeavour to “challenge what we normally consider to be the ‘absolute’ limits of nature.” You play as Frank Gilman, a man who finds himself in Upuaut, an Antarctic base located near the South Pole. The base is deserted, but you soon find out that something has gone very wrong.
Powered by the Unreal Engine 4, Conarium features a deep and suspense-filled story, with tons of secrets and Easter eggs, and a chilling atmospheric soundtrack. Obviously, if you’re keen on learning more about the game, you can check out its website, or visit its Steam page to grab a copy.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
