‘Midnight Ghost Hunt’ Looks to Provide Ghostbusting (and Haunting) Fun on Steam [Trailer]

While we wait for that rumoured Ghostbusters video game from Illfonic, Vaulted Sky Games has a ghostbusting game of their own in the works. Described as a “chaotic multiplayer hide-and-seek game”, Midnight Ghost Hunt recently wrapped up another closed beta this past weekend.

The story for Midnight Ghost Hunt has a group of four Ghost Hunters assigned to clear out a series of cursed locations of the haunted type. Countering them is a group of four players who play as the Ghosts. The Hunters have their ghostbusting equipment at their disposal, while those who play as the Ghosts have the ability to hide inside pieces of furniture to escape being caught. The Ghosts can then go on the offensive with telekinetic bombardment of the Hunters, aka throwing stuff at them.

Making things even more interesting is when the clock strikes midnight, and the Ghosts become supercharged, giving Hunters a limited amount of time to survive their wrath.

As you play, players will be able to select Perks for both the Hunters and Ghosts that will potentially give you the edge in your fight. Ghosts can become untrappable or extend their range of possession, while Hunters can gain the ability for increased speed or a healing aura to help ailing players.

Currently, Midnight Ghost Hunt is in development for PC via Steam, with no release date announced as of yet. To get in on the next beta, head over to the official site to sign up.

Survios Announces VR Title ‘Alien: Rogue Incursion’, Coming This Year [Trailer]

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.

Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”

Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.

And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
