Fossil Games Promises Creeping Tension With Its Narrative-Driven Adventure Game ‘Sick’ [Trailer]
Fossil Games (the folks behind Sunshine Manor, Camp Sunshine, and the recently-released Abandonware: The Horror Collection) and publisher Hound Picked Games claim that their new pixel-based game SiCK “is going to scare you.” And seeing as from the description on its Steam page that SiCK is a “narrative-driven” horror adventure game that focuses on creeping tension rather than jump scares, there’s a very real chance that they’re right.
SiCK centres on an unnamed woman who awakens in a seemingly abandoned motel, stranded without any form of transport, and seven months pregnant. The phone starts to ring and questions begin to be asked by whomever is on the other end. How did you get there? Using classic adventure game mechanics including collecting and using items in order to solve puzzles, you will unlock new chapters as you progress, and ultimately discover what is going on.
“We believe that SiCK is unlike any other horror game out there, what is truly lying underneath the story and gameplay is … well … disturbing,” says Fossil Games. “You have been warned, this story driven survival horror adventure is not for the faint of heart.”

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.
