Pull a ‘Sweeney Todd’ With Upcoming Horror Cooking Sim ‘Ravenous Devils’ [Trailer]
A horror-themed cooking sim? Why didn’t anyone think of this before? That’s probably what developer Bad Vices Games was saying when they came up with Ravenous Devils, which will be releasing on April 29th on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox One and Xbox Series.
Sweeney Todd inspirations abound, Ravenous Devils puts you in the creepy back-streets of 19th Century London, where married couple Percival and Hildred pursue their lofty ambitions of becoming the best tailor and eatery establishments in the city. You can guess what that involves.
The plan is simple: Percival does the slaughtering of shoppers looking for a new outfit, dropping the bodies through a hidden trapdoor, while Hildred makes the meat pies, sausages, and steaks to serve to customers. Demand from customers will have you upgrading your equipment, find new recipes and develop your shops.
Of course, there will be someone out there amongst the various characters you meet during the game’s four-hour story that will find out about your secret. But that’s all part of the fun!
“Ravenous Devils’ mixture of horror, cooking, simulation, and micro-management, intrigued us from the very beginning, and it gives us great pleasure to see the game being so close to hitting the virtual shelves.” said Saverio Caporusso, CEO and Game Designer at publisher Troglobytes Games. “For all gamers with a strong stomach for blood and gore, the incredibly fun gameplay loop and upgradables will definitely keep you hooked like it has us!”
Physical media fanatics can rejoice when it comes to The Chinese Room and publisher Secret Mode’s upcoming narrative horror game Still Wakes the Deep. Alongside the digital version of the game that’s set to launch on June 18 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, PlayStation owners will also be able to snag the physical version of Still Wakes the Deep on the same day.
Described as a welcome update for console players “whose greatest fear is the death of physical media,” the Still Wakes the Deep physical edition will be available from online and retail stores in North America and Europe. No word on if the Xbox Series will be getting the same treatment.
Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be any additional goodies with the physical disc. But, given that this guarantees you’ll have a copy of Still Wakes the Deep that you can pop into your console and play without the need to download it again, that’s a small price to pay.
Still Wakes the Deep takes place in 1975, where disaster has struck the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland. You are one of the oil rig workers on the Beira D rig, fighting for his life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters. All lines of communication have been severed. All exits are gone. And something has snuck on board, leaving you to not only restore function to the rig, but also deal with the unknowable horror.
And keep an eye out for the upcoming mini documentary on Still Wakes the Deep, which is scheduled to arrive around April 30th.
