Pixel-Based Horror Adventure Game ‘Terror at Oakheart’ Announced for Q4 2023 Release, Demo Available Now [Trailer]
Developer Tainted Pact and publisher Assemble Entertainment are jumping into the 80-inspired horror games crowd at Gamescom with Terror at Oakheart. Announced for a Q4 2023 release on Steam and itch.io, Terror at Oakheart currently has a demo available that covers the prologue and the first chapter.
Similar to titles like Homebody and Killer Frequency, Terror at Oakheart aims to take advantage of the 80s horror film feel. The game centres on the community of Oakheart, and follows multiple characters who are in the sights of the psychotic serial murderer known as Teddy, who dons a clown costume for his killing spree, and is also apparently under the sway of a Lovecraftian beast. Players will step into the shoes of Eric, Ethan, Rose, Tyler and more unique characters in order to see who will survive.
Players will explore the town of Oakheart, including the nearby police station, a ranger station, camp areas, and Teddy’s own home. The more players explore, the more they’ll discover that there may just be more to the town of Oakheart than they thought. The game will also borrow cues from Clock Tower, as you’ll have to hide from Teddy in closets and the like in order to escape.
Terror at Oakheart is also available to try this week at Gamescom.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
