What Happened to Maria Flores? Gun Interactive Relaunches ‘Petals’ Tie-in Photography Game for ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’
The events of Gun’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game take place before the events of Tobe Hooper’s classic horror movie, beginning with the disappearance of Maria Flores. Maria’s sister (Anna Flores) and her friends head out to Texas to investigate, and that’s essentially the storyline behind every match of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre that you play.
In celebration of the video game hitting 1.1 million units sold and 5.6 million total players, Gun Interactive has relaunched Petals today, a free-to-play online photography game.
Gun previews the experience that first launched in 2022, “Go back to where it all started and experience the story of Maria’s fateful trip with Petals, a floral photography game.
“Walk in her shoes and learn more about her disappearance.”
You can download the FREE exploration sim and start playing now!
What can you expect from the game in the coming months? In addition to Barbara Crampton, a brand new map titled “The Mill” is on the way, along with a new Family member.
A “Museum Mode” for the Family House map is also coming soon.
Stay tuned for more on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as we learn it.
Brandon Trush writes in his review for BD, “asymmetrical horror evolves to fit a terror classic.”

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.
