Lovecraftian Digital Board Game ‘October Night Games’ Turns to Kickstarter; Will Arrive on Steam October 15
Physical or digital, horror-themed board games are nothing new. They’re still worth your attention if you dig them. Case in point: October Night Games by, well, October Night Games, is due out on October 15, and has turned to Kickstarter to get that last little bit of funding before release.
The premise for October Night Games is a battle of up to six players between two cults to decide the fate of the world on Halloween night. One side is attempting to summon the Great Old Ones, while the other is trying to stop them. The twist is that you won’t know who is on which side until Halloween night. In the meantime, you’ll be doing cultish things while avoiding suspicion (and villagers).
The devs have decided to post the game on Kickstarter in order to get a bit more funding, and they’re just over halfway there as of this writing. The devs are asking for €5,000 by September 16, with plenty of stretch goals to hit. And, you have plenty of backer rewards still available. You can also wishlist the game on Steam.
Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
