Published

on

Fans of panstasz and publisher Ysbryd Games’ throwback RPG text adventure World of Horror received an early Christmas present today with a new update for the game, which adds two new characters, a new CHALLENGES mode, and two new endings.

The main content for the update introduces “a truly cursed WITCH and the EX-CULTIST on the run”, which now brings the total number of characters you can play as to eleven. The update also introduces “character-exclusive events” to further flesh out backstories and their role in the story.

There’s also the CHALLENGES mode, which puts players in “pre-selected playthroughs”, with each having unique gameplay mechanics. In addition, for those who were frustrated with saves being disabled with the previous update, they’ve now been re-enabled.

You can grab World of Horror on Steam. And check out our review from a few years back if you need further convincing.

‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ – LaKeith Stanfield Starring in Adaptation of Monster Hunting Video Game

Published

on

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.”
