[E3 2018] ‘Overwhelm’ Mixes Pixel Gore And Hard as Hell Difficulty
Fans of the pixelated gorefest platformer Butcher have a new game to sate their need for plasma in the form of Untitled Publisher’s Overwhelm, which is actually available right now! Rendered almost entirely in black and red, Overwhelm takes a cue from Butcher in its difficulty: It’s hard. Not only that, it’s a feast for the ears with its sound effects and music, which effectively capture the tension during the game. It’s rendered even more suspenseful when there’s no sound at all!
The story for the game has you as a knight sent by a nameless group to fight an alien menace. You need to kill the five bosses located around the map, collect the crystals they drop, and bring them back to the device at the heart of the map. Sounds simple, right? Well, with one-hit deaths, that’s not as simple as it would seem. Even then, the game ups the ante whenever you die: Your field of view decreases with each death. Did I mention that you only have three lives?
If you’re the hardcore type, Overwhelm is for you.
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.
