PS1-Styled Giallo Horror Game ‘Bloodwash’ Comes Clean on September 16
Back in May, we covered Puppet Combo’s giallo-styled throwback slasher Bloodwash. Today they hit us up with news that the game will be finally be released next week!
Bloodwash will hit Steam on September 16. Developers Black Eyed Priest and Henry Hoare had released a demo last year to some positive buzz, along with extensive coverage on YouTube.
For those who walked in late, Bloodwash features that classic PS1 graphical style, and tells the story of Sara, a pregnant college student living with her alcoholic boyfriend in a run-down apartment complex. One night, the washing machine in the apartment’s basement breaks down. A neighbour tells Sara about a 24-hour laundromat on the outskirts of town, so what’s Sara to do but head over there. Unfortunately, there’s a serial killer known as the Womb Ripper, who’s been targeting pregnant women in the city.

‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ – LaKeith Stanfield Starring in Adaptation of Monster Hunting Video Game
Last year’s monster hunting shooter El Paso, Elsewhere is headed to the screen, with THR reporting that LaKeith Stanfield (Haunted Mansion) will star in the live action film adaptation.
Stanfield will also produce the film alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura.
THR notes in today’s report, “There is no writer or director, as the project is still being packaged in the hopes of finding a studio home. The package is seen as buzzy, as it is a video game adaptation, a bustling genre thanks to titles such as The Last of Us, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and the most recent hit, Fallout.”
In the upcoming movie version of El Paso, Elsewhere, “Recovering from a toxic relationship, James Savage (LaKeith Stanfield) confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual. James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth. James learns that the only route to love is through healing.”
Developer Strange Scaffold’s El Paso, Elsewhere was released this past September.
Aaron Boehm wrote in his 4-star review here on Bloody Disgusting, “Much like its inspiration Max Payne, and other games in Remedy’s catalog, there’s a clear vision that unites every frame of this game, making for an experience that both reignites a classic action subgenre and forges an identity all its own. Few games have a better elevator pitch than El Paso, Elsewhere, and it’s awesome to see it live up to those expectations with style and heart.”
