New Teaser For Upcoming ‘System Shock’ Remake Drips With Dread
Still plugging away at their upcoming System Shock remake, Nightdive Studios has posted a new teaser trailer showcasing the nameless hacker protagonist making their way through the Research level of Citadel Station.
Without spoiling too much, the trailer features the expected creepy and foreboding atmosphere that one would hope to see on a space station that’s been taken over by a sentient AI. Of course, there are still the mutants lurching around that you’ll need to put away, as well as a battle against a maintenance robot that refuses to go down.
System Shock is due out Summer 2021 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The demo is still very much available on Steam.

Horror Mystery Visual Novel ‘Scarlet Hollow’ Receives Expansion of First Five Chapters
Black Tabby Games has dropped a little update on the progress for Scarlet Hollow, announcing that writing work on their planned expansion to the game’s first five episodes has finished, with the team pivoting to the art. Testing for the update is set to begin in “about a couple of weeks,” though if you’re a Patreon member, you can get early access to it.
The update adds around 70,000 words of new and remastered content, with most of it expanding some of the shorter sections. The update also tweaks certain aspects of gameplay, as well as adding more dialogue (obviously) between characters, and even revamps one of the endings to the fifth episode.
The team also confirmed that writing for Episode 6 is well underway, though no release date has been announced.
Currently in Early Access on Steam, Scarlet Hollow is an immersive horror-mystery with sharp writing, impactful choices, and meticulously hand-drawn art. What was supposed to be a quiet getaway in the rural mountains of North Carolina to meet your long-lost cousin and comfort her through her mother’s funeral, has turned into a nightmare of cryptids and other supernatural horrors. You only have to survive a week. But can you get to the bottom of these mysteries haunting Scarlet Hollow before they claim your life?
