Inspired by the Worldbuilding of ‘Bloodborne’, ‘Black Heaven: A Necromantic Dating Sim’ Arrives Next Month on Steam [Trailer]
Fans of DreadXP’s Sucker for Love looking for another fantasy/horror visual novel to devour should check out indie developer Occult Triangle Lab upcoming game, Black Heaven: A Necromantic Dating Sim. Black Heaven also has a demo available via itch.io, with a planned October 21st release on Steam.
Unlike Sucker for Love, Black Heaven has a bit of Bloodborne in it, with you being a former scholar, and one of the last survivors of a plague that’s destroyed the world you used to know. After nearly succumbing to the plague itself, your life is saved by a mysterious necromancer named No-Eyes, who offers you the chance to escape death forever and relive your past. All that he asks of you are the souls of your former classmates. Returning to the ruined academy where you spent your happiest days, you’re haunted by the pleasant memories of your old friends, and the line between memory and madness becomes frighteningly blurred.
There’s more to Black Heaven than just inspired lore. The game features a “Fractal Madness” mechanic where if you attempt to undo your decisions in the game by reloading a save, Black Heaven will actually change the narrative and soundtrack to warped, nightmarish versions. Save scumming is obviously discouraged.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
