This Creepy Parody Game of ‘The Simpsons’ Asks You to Get ‘Eggs For Bart’
The indie game playground of itch.io really does throw up some interesting horror concepts, and the skewing of something relatively normal tends to be the best kind of headfuck method on the site.
Take this horror parody of The Simpsons by Darien Gore (aka Fleebs) called ‘Eggs For Bart’. First released on itch.io last year, the game tasks Homer with getting Fruit of the Chicken for Bart in the poorly-lit Simpsons homestead. The thing is, there’s something a bit more sinister afoot.
Chapter One tasks you with getting two dozens eggs, then leaving the house to give them to Bart. Simple enough, but the first catch is that you can only carry a half dozen at a time. So you’ll have to make four trips, with the task getting progressively harder as the night goes on. That’s largely because Marge, Lisa, and Maggie want the eggs too, and they aren’t exactly themselves.
The story goes to some strange places, and the more-recently released second chapter sees you continue the story as Ned Flanders, investigating the occurrences at the home of The Simpsons.
The whole game stems from a joke during a Game Grumps video.
You can download both chapters from itch.io for free right now.
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.
