First-Person Horror Adventure ‘Massacre at the Mirage’ Sees You Trapped in a Theater With a Killer [Trailer]
Fresh off of last month’s release of their Lovecraftian-tinged horror adventure Terror at Oakheart, developer Tainted Pact is back with another adventure title. This time, it’s a first-person horror adventure that “will send shivers down your spine” in Massacre at the Mirage.
The story of Massacre at the Mirage centres around the town of Crimson Ridge’s finest cinema known as The Mirage. You’ll be stepping into the shoes of the overworked staff as you operate and manage the Mirage cinema while serving the unsuspecting movie buffs. All the while, there’s a killer lurking about dressed as a clown (no relation to Art), and it’s your job to put an end to the murders.
Not only will you be playing as the staff of The Mirage, but you’ll also play as the customers, each with a unique perspective that will offer up a variety of gameplay elements. It’s all enveloped by the eerie ambiance of an old, run-down movie theater. Of course, you’ll need to be on the lookout for the killer, who “pulls no punches” in their brutality, and potentially lurks around every corner.
No release date has been set as of yet, though the press release hints at a Halloween release. If you can’t wait that long, thankfully there’s a demo on the game’s Steam page.

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.
