Retro Horror Adventure Title “Game Within a Game” ‘Tormenture’ Announced for PC [Trailer]
More retro horror gaming is on the way with Tormenture, courtesy of Blasphemous creators The Game Kitchen and developer Croxel Studios. Tormenture pulls a “game within a game” meta that hearkens back to those days after school in the 80s, playing your “not Atari 2600”, but with a far more terrifying experience.
A tribute to retro gaming, Tormenture begins with you having polishing off your homework. You decide to sit down and start playing on your Limbo 2800. But unlike your previous play sessions, the game is not as you remember it. Not only that, but as you play the game, you notice something strange is happening in your bedroom…
A world of pixels and surrealism in which you’ll have to avoid getting trapped, Tormenture will have you venturing into a vast labyrinth, full of mysterious corners to explore. Discover every nook and cranny and solve puzzles as you progress that will test your wits and cunning in the game’s world, and your own. You’ll also face off against challenging enemies and pixelated spirits lurking in the shadows. Every decision you make will influence the outcome of the story, resulting in one of the game’s three different endings.
No release date has been announced as of yet for Tortmenture, though you can wishlist it now on Steam.

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.
