[Trailer] Surreal VR Horror Title ‘A Wake Inn’ Remade For PC Players in ‘A Wake Inn: Rebooked’
VR Bros are back at it with an updated version to their VR horror title A Wake Inn that was released earlier this year. A Wake Inn: Rebooked is a redesigned version of the game catered towards the PC, but with has the VR immersion roots still intact.
Once again, players assume the role of a wheelchair-bound mannequin that’s trapped in the art deco Silver Inn Hotel that’s filled with an army of living dolls. You’ve got to find out who you are, why you ended up in the hotel, and just who the mysterious voice is that’s guiding you.
For the PC version, A Wake Inn: Rebooked will take the design choices that made the VR experiences so immersive the first time, and carry those over to the PC version. On top of that, Rebooked will feature a new ending, new locations, as well as a redesigned system for sneaking around and fighting.
“Horror games rely so much on immersion. To feel terror, you need to believe that you’re in danger. You also need to believe that what’s around you is real.” said Pawel Sikora, Designer at VR Bros. “With VR, one way to make players feel more immersed in their surroundings is by making the environment more interactive. If you can touch it, grab it, and use it, it feels like it belongs in the same place as where your mind and senses are. We want to give that environmental freedom to PC players, too.”
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
