Procedural Survival Horror Title ‘Project Nightmares Case 36: Henrietta Kedward’ Coming to Consoles This Month [Trailer]
Feardemic Games has announced that they’ll finally be bringing NC Studio’s procedural survival horror game Project Nightmares Case 36: Henrietta Kedward to consoles. Originally released for PC via Steam back in 2021 (after spending a bit of time in Early Access), Project Nightmares will arrive on PlayStation and Xbox on April 27th.
Taking a cue from Tarsem Singh’s The Cell, the game centres on Project Nightmares, a group of scientists who have dedicated themselves to studying the paranormal. The group have developed a machine that allows them to induce sleep in a patient with psychic abilities in order to connect the human mind with supernatural objects in order to discover, investigate and ultimately defeat the evil within. In this instance, the group is investigating a patient named Henrietta Kedward, and a toy with a sinister history attached to it.
Players will play through the case of Henrietta Kedward, connecting with the old woman through the malignant toy. You’ll find yourself in a nightmare set during her lifetime, surrounded by terror and mystery. While inside the nightmare, you’ll never know what’s going to happen next, even on multiple playthroughs as the game constantly shifts, taking advantage of its procedurally-generated elements.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
