Skateboarding Meets Horror Meets The PS1 in ‘Orange County’

Published

How’s this for an idea: Instead of walking around in a PS1 retro-inspired horror game, why not skateboard in it? That’s exactly what you get in Orange County.

A product of the Haunted PS1 Summer Spooks game jam, Pastasfuture has made the first person game available on their itch.io site for free. The game has you skating around a procedurally-generated city in the dark. Visibility is crap (it’s the dark, of course), and you’ll have to contend with cars on the roads, as well as a campus security vehicle that’s constantly pursuing you. As the time passes, the traffic gets thicker as you try to maneuver and escape being tracked.

It’s very sort of mundane, but just the idea of trying to skate while avoiding traffic and your pursuer at night screams tension. Plus, you can play it in your internet browser for free!

Thanks to Alpha Beta Gamer for the heads up.

The full release of V Rising is coming up quick. And just in case the upcoming Castlevania crossover wasn’t enough, Stunlock has released a new gameplay trailer showing off the new Ruins of Mortium endgame zone for V Rising.

Once the heart of the powerful Vampire civilization, the Ruins of Mortium now lies in ruins, teeming with the cult-like remnants of Dracula’s forces. Players will encounter the Draculin, creatures tainted by Dracula’s influence, and face off against his Vampire Generals. The ultimate challenge awaits as players journey into the depths of Mortium to confront Dracula himself. While battling through his forces and disrupting dark rituals intent on reviving the ancient Vampire king, players will uncover ancient powers and prepare for the ultimate showdown against the tyrant himself.

Ruins of Mortium is just one piece of the new content for V Rising when it launches in full. Here’s a rundown of what to expect:

  • Explore a new deadly endgame zone: The Ruins of Mortium
  • Experience dynamic endgame events
  • Fight a new breed of foe and new V Blood bosses
  • New weapons, A new tier of equipment, and magic improvements
  • Improvements to castle building, decor, and storage
  • Native, smoothly implemented gamepad support
  • Game optimization and visual improvements

V Rising exits Early Access on Steam on May 8th, alongside the Legacy of Castlevania crossover. A PlayStation 5 version will also be released later this year.
