Vincent Lade’s Stealth Survival Horror Game ‘Jawbreaker’ Coming Later This Year; Demo Available Now [Trailer]

Stealth Survival Horror is headed your way with Vincent Lade’s Jawbreaker. Not to be confused with the Darren Stein film, the game is inspired by the likes of Outlast, Alien Isolation and Resident Evil. Jawbreaker already has a demo available on Steam and itch.io, with a release date of Q4 2023.

Jawbreaker takes place in the alternate future of 2028, where after an economic collapse in the United States results in the “Awakening”, where the average person is driven to join any armed group that will have them in order to fight for supplies and territory. You play as one such member of a gang in New Citadel City. Supplies are running low in your bunker, and you’ve volunteered to venture out into the concrete ruins of the city to loot for anything to bring back. During your expedition, an untouched police station catches your eye. Breaking into the station, you soon find out why the police station was left untouched, and why you’re now fighting for your life.

According to Vincent, Jawbreaker combines the oppressive atmosphere of Outlast with the stealth and combat of Alien Isolation and the puzzles and inventory management of Resident Evil. The result has you relying on stealth tactics such as throwing objects to distract and hiding in lockers or under tables to survive. You won’t be completely helpless, as you have a few weapons at your disposal. However, the use of guns may draw unwanted attention. Jawbreaker will also have multiple endings to “prove if you are a true survivor”.

Along with the demo, be sure to keep an eye out for Steam Next Fest in June, where Jawbreaker will be a participant.

Dead by Daylight fans have another Tome launch today in Tome 19: SPLENDOR, bringing with it a new content update, the game’s next Modifier, a new Tome packed with unlockable rewards, and a major update to the in-game store. Accompanying the update will be several Outfit Collections, which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks.

After giving fans a taste of what’s to come with the time-limited Lights Out Modifier, Behaviour Interactive has introduced a new one with Chaos Shuffle, offering a completely different challenge. In the Chaos Shuffle Modifier, players will be jumping into Trials with randomly selected Perks from all of Dead by Daylight’s available Perks. However, instead of relying on tactics they’ve grown accustomed to, players will now have to contend and strategize with the Perks they’re dealt at the beginning of the match. Chaos Shuffle will be out soon.

Along with the new Modifier is the new Event Tome with SPLENDOR, packed with new challenges, memories, and classy rewards to Dead by Daylight, inspired by all things gold and silk. Players will unlock memories that offer a glimpse into The Artist and Zarina Kassir’s past, with new outfits for The Trickster, Nea Karlsson, Mikaela Reid, The Skull Merchant, and many more characters across the Free and Premium Tracks. Players who purchase the Rift Pass instantly unlock a gold-adorned Outfit for The Trapper, and those who complete the track are rewarded with a brutal Ultra Rare Outfit for The Doctor.

As for the in-game store, with over 30 Chapters packed with content and outfits for our numerous Survivors and Killers, the in-game store has been given a complete visual overhaul. The new interface allow players to easily find items that are on sale, cosmetics from a specific collection, as well as purchase bundles that contain multiple items at a discounted price.

Finally, there are the new Outfit Collections that are coming to Dead by Daylight in the coming weeks.

  • The Forgotten Myth Collection brings a horrifying Visceral Legendary Outfit for The Huntress, complete with its own unique Mori.
  • Metamorphosis manifests in different ways. The returning Chrysalis Collection reimagines both Killer and Survivor with butterfly or moth-inspired looks.
  • The return of the Visions of the Future Collection offers new futuristic looks for several Survivors.
  • A new addition to the Nicolas Cage Essentials Collection proves the actor needs no stylist to look cool.
  • The Forgotten Garden Collection spreads botanical brutality to two Killers.
  • The Cats & Dogs Collection brings more cozy sweaters to the game inspired by our furry friends.

Dead by Daylight is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
