Puppet Combo’s ‘Night At the Gates of Hell’ Out Now on PlayStation and Switch [Trailer]
Console gamers can now enjoy the mayhem that is Puppet Combo and Black Eyed Priest’s Night At the Gates of Hell. The game, which we loved so much on PC, is available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and the Nintendo Switch.
Developed by the duo behind Puppet Combo’s Bloodwash (which we also loved), Night At the Gates of Hell is a Survival Horror FPS inspired by Italian zombie films from the likes of Lucio Fulci and Bruno Mattei, PS1-era gore, and “sweat-drenched neon disco.”
You are David, a quiet, recently widowed man living in his seaside apartment. Unfortunately, a zombie outbreak descends upon his city and disrupts his normal everyday life.
After gathering his thoughts, collecting a few weapons, and meeting up with other survivors, David realizes that he must fight his way to the truth behind the apocalypse, by gunning and slashing through the hordes of zombies.
To escape the city, players will need to solve puzzles, hunt for resources and, of course, kill zombies. And in typical Fulci fashion, said zombies can only be eliminated with a shot directly to the head.
Of course, if you’re a PC gamer, you can still pick up the game now on Steam.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
