‘Under’ Traps You in a Sinking Ship With Serious ‘Silent Hill’ Vibes
SOMA might be the current king of nautical horror video games for many, but Globiss Interactive is looking to change that with their upcoming game known simply as Under. Currently set for a Q3 2020 on Steam, Under combines the suffocating horror of being trapped on a sinking boat with some paranormal activity thrown in for good measure.
Set shortly after the events of WWI, you play as veteran Alexander Dockter, who ends up in an eerie turn-of-the-century era ocean liner that is currently sinking. Making matters worse, you find out that your escape is being hindered by malicious entities that have a keen interest in you. You’re in a race against time while trying to avoid being caught by these rather tall beings.
If you’re itching (no pun intended) to see what the game is like, you can actually hit up the demo on the game’s itch.io page.

Limited-Time Crossover Event for ‘Resident Evil Survival Unit’ With ‘Monster Hunter’ Announced [Teaser]
If you haven’t yet checked out Aniplex Inc. and JOYCITY Corporation’s Resident Evil Survival Unit, the free-to-play real-time strategy game has just announced a new collaboration with another Capcom property in Monster Hunter to entice prospective players. Kicking off on July 2 and running until July 29, the limited-time collaboration will introduce Monster Hunter–inspired elements into the post-apocalyptic world of Resident Evil Survival Unit, adding large-scale monster encounters to the game’s strategic systems.
Details on the collaboration are being kept under wraps for now, but during the event, players will be able to participate in collaboration-exclusive in-game events that will earn them special rewards inspired by the Monster Hunter series. We do get a brief teaser trailer for the upcoming event, which in addition to teasing various monsters for players to battle, also promises new units for players to recruit.
Set in a parallel world inspired by the Resident Evil universe, the game features an original storyline and real-time strategic gameplay designed for mobile platforms. Players will build bases, secure resources, and battle creatures in a collapsed city. Iconic characters such as Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine appear throughout the game, allowing for team formations that bring together characters from across the Resident Evil franchise, enabling unique combinations not seen in the original titles.
Resident Evil Survival Unit is available on iOS and Android devices.
