‘Siren’ Celebrates Its Tenth Anniversary With a Manga Adaptation
The fantastic survival horror game Siren sees its tenth anniversary — in North America, at least — and what better way to celebrate something like that than with a manga adaptation? All right, another Siren game would be substantially more exciting, but when it comes to this hugely underrated series, I’ll take what I can get. The manga, titled The Call of the Red Sea, will be illustrated by Wataru Kamio, with a story by Keiichiro Toyama and Naoko Sato.
The manga will arrive later this year in the manga magazine Shin Mimibukuro Atmos.

Violent Party Game Collection ‘Machine Party’ Now Available [Trailer]
Buckshot Roulette creator Mike Klubnika and co-developer GDeavid’s “friendslop” collection of violent party games in Machine Party is out now on Steam, where you and your friends can finally compete in glorious gory fun. As an added incentive, Machine Party is available with a limited-time 15% launch discount until August 13.
Gather 2 to 4 friends, strap in, and prove your life is worth more than theirs in this collection of borderline illegal and extraordinarily violent party games. Featurng an industrial soundtrack composed by Alex Peipman, Machine Party takes classic party game formats and gives them deadly twists, turning friendly competition into something far less friendly, but always hilarious. Across 15 unique minigames set within the Klubnika universe, players will jump between split-second reflex challenges, calculated decision-making, and social situations where trust doesn’t last long and betrayal is always an option.
Each minigame throws players into increasingly absurd and dangerous challenges where cooperation, competition, and betrayal are all viable strategies. No matter how you play, or how devious you are at screwing over your friends, survival is never guaranteed. For more absurdity, you’re able to customize your test subject with a variety of cosmetics.
