Pixelated Time Loop Horror Game ‘Loop//Error’ Out Now
Koro Pixel Studio and publisher CULT Games are kicking off Steam Scream IV Fest today with the release of their new short atmospheric horror experience, Loop//Error. Touted as a slow-burning descent into paranoia, dread, and disturbing imagery, Loop//Error is available with a limited-time 20% launch discount.
Alone in the dead of night, you find yourself sent on a simple errand to check on a quiet gas station on the outskirts of town. But nothing here feels right. You can’t outrun this place. It wants you. And it will keep you. The air is heavy with something unspoken, the radio crackles with words that don’t belong, and the station itself… shifts.
Every step forward drags you deeper into a nightmare of fractured reality and unseen terrors. Strange voices whisper in your ear, shadows stretch and writhe, and the choices you make will carve your fate.
Calling back to old-school text-based adventure games, Loop//Error adds to its creepy atmosphere with a blend of eerie animations and lighting courtesy of its pixel art reminiscent of World of Horror. If that wasn’t enough, the game features dynamic sound design that reacts to your actions.
And despite the short playthrough (about 30 minutes in length), there are multiple endings for players to discover.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
