[Trailer] ‘Minecraft’ Meets ‘DOOM’ Map Pack ‘Doomed: Demons of the Nether’ Officially Available
We’ve had Minecraft mixed with Diablo in Minecraft Dungeons. But now players have DOOM mixed with Minecraft with DOOMED: Demons of the Nether. Initially begun development the same year as Minecraft Dungeons, the map pack is the brainchild of Sibogy, who recently announced the pack’s official launch.
The singleplayer affair is, of course, based on id Software’s recent DOOM games, featuring newly-crafted models, weapons and AI. The map pack plays into the fast and fluid gameplay of DOOM, with customized sound effects and music, as well as plenty of familiar foes for you to frag. There are even cinematics and collectibles for you to enjoy.
To play the map pack, you’ll need to have Minecraft updated to version 1.16.3. From there, hit up the official site for the map pack and get ready to rip and tear.

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?
