‘Those Who Remain’ Lands Publisher, Will be Playable at Gamescom
After over two years in development, Camel 101’s Those Who Remain finally seems to have a light at the end of the tunnel. Despite still not having a release date, publisher Wired Productions will publish the psychological horror game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
On top of that, Those Who Remain will be playable for members of the press at Gamescom 2019, which runs from August 20 to 24 at the Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany.
Lastly, the game has a new trailer, which you can view below.
Those Who Remain places you in an up-close, psychological horror story set in the sleepy town of Dormont – a town wrapped and warped by darkness and the deeds of its citizens. As the disturbed John Edward Turner, the player will be confronted with a test of Turner’s sanity, morality and the shadows of evil that lurks below.

Dark Fantasy Dungeon Crawler ‘Verho: Curse of Faces’ Launches on Consoles on July 30 [Trailer]
PC gamers have been enjoying CobraTekku Games and developer Kasur Games’ Verho: Curse of Faces for almost a year. And now, console gamers will be able to get their hands on the King’s Field-inspired dark action RPG later this month when the game launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch on July 30. The release will coincide with the game’s “Chaos” content update.
First launching for PC via Steam and GOG last November, Verho: Curse of Faces takes place after the catastrophic Era of Solitude, where masks have become the only protection against the Curse of Faces, where revealing one’s face means instant death. Humanity was brought close to the brink. After 264 years of “the Era of Solitude,” a symbol of safety appeared in the form of Masks.
While the origins of the curse are still shrouded in mystery, many travelers still venture to the source of this curse in an attempt to reveal its secrets. You must travel to the land of Yariv, find the source of this scourge, and face its dangers. Will you strive to lift the curse from the world, or will you harness its power for your own ends?
