Puppet Combo’s Latest Game ‘The Riverside Incident’ is a True Crime Horror With a Found Footage Twist
Indie developer Puppet Combo, fairly fresh off the Fulci-inspired The Glass Staircase, has swiftly delivered another horror game with a completely different style and tone.
The Riverside Incident sees the player trying to uncover the secrets of the Riverside Asylum after a video tape was discovered and was found to document some disturbing events there. It’s inspired by the True Crime genre, and presented in a found footage format.
The description for the game is below.
In July 1991, a group of hikers found a garbage bag containing a video tape. They initially believed the footage to be a prank. Limited portions of the tape have been released to the public in hopes of identifying the persons involved.
The Riverside Incident is a found footage, true crime horror game. You play as an urban explorer on a journey to unlock the secrets of the abandoned Riverside Asylum (or maybe it will unlock your dark secrets instead).
This is Puppet Combo’s fourth release of 2019 (the others being The Glass Staircase, Blood Maniac, and Unfinished Worlds Vol.1), and all have had a very distinct flavor.
It looks like another creepy hit, and you can play it now on PC via Puppet Combo’s Patreon page, where you can get access to all previous Puppet Combo games and any future ones.
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.
