Throwback Lovecraftian Shooter ‘Forgive Me Father’, Surreal ‘A Wake Inn: Rebooked’ Unveiling Demos Next Month During Steam Next Fest
With Steam Next Fest right around the corner, genre fans will no doubt be in heaven. Among the titles releasing demos, the Lovecraftian-tinged Forgive Me Father and the surreal A Wake Inn: Rebooked will be exhibiting their wares during the event, which kicks off on October 1.
1C Entertainment’s Forgive Me Father is a stylized shooter that will actually release in Early Access via Steam on October 26, so you won’t have to wait much longer after the demo. The story goes that you take on the role of a priest or a journalist, and must try to keep your sanity about you as you make your way through a mad world filled with nightmarish creatures, trying to make sense of it all.
1C Entertainment also dropped a new trailer ahead of time to get fans psyched for the demo.
Meanwhile, a port of the original A Wake Inn, A Wake Inn: Rebooked is a redesigned version of the original without the VR enhancements, but still holding onto those creepy visuals. The VR Bros team is still hard at work on getting the game ready for release, so no trailer for this one.
However, the devs will have a special livestream of of their demo walkthrough on October 1, complete with commentary from the team. You can keep tabs on their official Twitter for the start time.
In A Wake Inn: Rebooked, you 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.
Just in case it wasn’t already clear, Jason Voorhees will be arriving in Dead by Daylight next week. And along with teasing their 10th Anniversary Livestream on June 14, Behaviour Interactive also dropped another teaser, this time for Jason and his never-before-seen Bloody Jason skin. That also includes a Redband variant, just for old time’s sake.
While it’s unclear for now just how players can snag this gory cosmetic, the skin joins the other three previously-revealed skins in the Jason Collection, featuring a range of Outfits that pay homage to his legacy while being reimagined in ways only The Fog could shape. Jason’s default Outfit presents the unmistakable icon from Jason Universe, originally designed by horror legend Greg Nicotero: a 13-holed hockey mask, machete, and weather-beaten clothing worn through countless kills.
Additional outfits include Backwoods Terror, which trades Jason’s jacket for flannel and suspenders, and his machete for a heavy axe. Death Forsaken offers a more grotesque incarnation with decayed features, exposed bone, and a shovel in hand. Lastly, Jason’s Depths of Despair Outfit sees him emerging from the depths; a vision of terror covered head-to-toe in barnacles, coral, and seaweed.
Dead by Daylight: Jason will be available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch on June 16.
