Sci-Fi FMV Horror Title ‘Dead Reset’ Out Now on PC, Consoles [Trailer]
Dark Rift Horror and Wales Interactive’s latest foray into FMV horror gaming in Dead Reset is out today on Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Death is not the end in this game, but it offers a terrifying new perspective as you get closer to the truth.
In this sci-fi horror adventure, players find themselves in the shoes of surgeon Cole Mason. Kidnapped and brought to an underwater facility, Cole is forced to operate on a patient in order to extract an evolving parasitic horror. Of course, things will go awry one way or another, resulting in your demise. You must master the death-loop in order to uncover the path to escape.
“Dead Reset was designed to get under the skin of the player and deliver relentless scares driven by gruesome practical effects and a time-bending descent into terror,” says director Stewart Sparke. “I can’t wait for people to dive in and play our blood-drenched, interactive love letter to the horror genre!”
Players will find themselves immersed in a blood-soaked interactive narrative with cinematic scares, bloody practical effects and high-stakes choice-driven gameplay that put you at the heart of a relentless sci-fi horror movie. You’ll need to steer Cole on a path of redemption or damnation in your fight to survive. There are no easy choices, as your morality is tested at every turn and your decisions will result in four wildly different endings.
You’ll be building trust or fracturing alliances; each bond forged or broken influences your road to survival. You can use the in-game tracker to check your relationship with other characters. Provided that they are still alive.

Escape a Literal Hellhole in First-Person Survival Horror Title ‘Nature of Dread’ [Trailer]
Described as a nightmare “torn from the pages of Lovecraft, Nikolai Gogol, and Mikhail Bulgakov,” Nature of Dread is a newly-announced survival horror title coming to Steam. This sci-fi horror title has players fighting their way out of a nightmare deep within the northern wilderness, uncovering what has been buried under top-secret clearance for centuries.
The story for Nature of Dread that’s been revealed so far sees players awaken in the classified settlement of Hellhole in the northern forests. Built as humanity’s final defense in a war that has raged for over a millennium, the settlement was designed to contain an ancient evil. As these things go, in a desperate attempt to stop said evil, people tried to contain it, isolate it, and study it.
Ultimately, the military stepped in to do their usual cover-up routine, sealing the borders of the settlement off from the outside world and denying access. Unfortunately, things that were buried tend to have a habit of rising to the surface. Now you’ve been thrust into this centuries-old conflict, where you must decide how far you’re willing to go to protect what truly matters to you.
You’ll be facing off against the spawn of primordial evil, where these creatures learn, adapt, form packs, and change tactics the moment they sense your next move. Luckily, you’ll have plenty of weapons with which to fight these monstrosities, with the devs touting the game having a realistic weaponry system. Of course, since this is a survival horror title, you’ll need to be smart about your gear choices and manage your resources carefully in order to survive.
