[Gamescom] ‘My Memory Of Us’ Sports Dark Visuals With Touching Story

Published

on

Juggler Games’ My Memory Of Us was announced way back in February, but is now getting a much-needed boost in attention thanks to a new trailer and, if you’re at Gamescom, a PC demo!

The whimsical yet dark adventure platformer tells the story of friendship between a boy and a girl in the midst of a war between the country’s inhabitants and a robot army. As the war rages on, the Evil King decides to split up the population of his country. The marked ones were placed in annexed area separated by a huge wall. The two friends will have to avoid the detection by the robot army in order to escape to their freedom.

And yes, this is all a reference to the Nazi occupation of Poland and the Jewish ghettos during World War II. In fact, the events in the game are based on actual stories from the Jewish ghettos at that time.

The game features a mix of stealth and puzzle-solving, with each friend having their own unique abilities. You will also be able to control both friends at the same time in order to solve certain puzzles. Mixed with a beautiful art style, My Memory Of Us definitely seems to belie its simple premise. No release date as of yet, but it should be soon.

This story was originally posted on Plenty Dreadful. Head there for more horror video game goodness!

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

Published

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.
