Discover The Truth Behind an Abandoned Cult Compound in ‘Sagebrush’
Ever wondered what it’d be like to explore an abandoned cult compound? Well, in Redact Games’ upcoming first person adventure game, Sagebrush you can. The question is, has the compound really been abandoned?
Releasing on September 18th on Steam for $6.99USD, you can also find the game on Itch.io. Using a throwback low-poly aesthetic reminiscent of 90s survival horror games like Alone in the Dark (and of course, Resident Evil), Sagebrush puts you in the seemingly deserted Perfect Heaven compound where the Perfect Heaven cult mass suicide occurred. You’ll explore the compound the members left behind, narrated by a young woman remembering her experience. All the while, you’ll be checking out clues left behind by the members to discover what really happened.
The game is a short 1-2 hour experience, but judging from the trailer, looks to be quite an unnerving one. Check out the game’s Steam page for more info, or visit Redact Games’ official site.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
