Final Trailer Released for Neo-Noir Horror Shooter ‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ [Watch]

Published

That September 26 release date for Strange Scaffold’s neo-noir horror shooter El Paso, Elsewhere will be here soon. And to get fans hyped even more (and to convince those fence-sitters), Strange Scaffold has released what’s touted as the final trailer for the game.

The trailer presents protagonist James Savage coming to a sudden and horrifying realization on his journey to stop his ex-girlfriend and the lord of the vampires, Draculae. Amongst the flood of violence, Savage isn’t just thriving—he feels good. Free to succumb to his addictions, and the pursuit of one final good act before the end of the world.

On this path towards oblivion, Savage hunts the monsters protecting Draculae, who seeks to perform a ritual that will end the world as we know it and place it under her reign. Armed with shotguns, pistols, uzis, stakes and more, the only choice players have is to keep moving forward, one slow-motion dive after another, to preserve reality itself. Players will be shooting their way through more than 40 floors of heart-pumping action, all to the beat of a hip-hop horror soundtrack, featuring vocals from the BAFTA-nominated writer Xalavier Nelson Jr.. Pop pills to keep the pain away, dodge through the hordes while unloading your weapons with bullet-time mechanics and don’t stop running.

El Paso, Elsewhere will arrive on the Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.

Endless Mode Available Now in New Update for ‘Life Eater’

Published

on

Fans of Strange Scaffold and publisher Frosty Pop’s apocalyptic Life Eater have another reason to keep coming back to the game, as the much-anticipated Endless Mode is available now. Best of all, it’s a free update!

The new endless mode gives Life Eater players an arena to determine how long they can evade capture while delaying the end of the world. Collect score points called ZEAL by building an airtight procedure around your sacrifices, investigate the lives of countless procedurally generated kidnapping targets, and survive as long as possible in your personal gauntlet of nightmares.

“We’re so excited to expand the playtime of Life Eater with a uniquely dark and intriguing systemic experience,” says Strange Scaffold founder Xalavier Nelson Jr. “You really just terrorize an entire city of people over the span of decades, now, and I can only hope that I don’t come to regret writing that sentence in a press release.”

For those not in the know, Life Eater (check out Aaron’s review here) is a horror fantasy kidnapping simulator where you play as a druid living in suburbia. You serve a dark entity by abducting and sacrificing specific but vaguely described humans every year to stop the apocalypse. Use a unique video editing-inspired interface to discover the intimate lives of your victims, one schedule block at a time. When the time is right, abduct them before authorities find out.

You can snag a copy of Life Eater on Steam.
