Demo Released for Hoax-Turned-Haunting Game ‘Victim Complex’ [Trailer]
With Steam Scream IV Fest off and running, 5ive Bullet Games has released a demo for their upcoming title Victim Complex that changes up the narrative for ghost hunting games. Rather than being a traditional ghost hunter, you’re a hoaxer that falls into something more than they bargained for.
You are Jack Lognare. You make a good living at an odd job; after all, people don’t like to live or work in buildings that they’ve heard are haunted. So whenever someone wants to renovate an old local legend, you get into your car with all of your gear, and make a video pretending to check the building for ghosts. Funny how you never seems to find any… until tonight.
Tonight, your scopes and meters start reacting for real, and suddenly, it’s not an easy gig anymore. There are real spirits haunting this abandoned apartment complex, and you’ll need to put all of your fake skills to work in order to survive.
Every death in the building leaves clues. You’ll need to discover who these people were, and what happened to them, all while trying to save your own life. Each spirit needs something different to find peace, and only by understanding their stories can you know how to react to them.
There’s no way to see without your flashlight, but using it runs you the risk of being seen by the dark presences lurking around the building. Carefully explore the rooms and hallways without attracting unwanted attention. Use your ghost-hunting tools to gather information and carefully plan your next move.

Horror Action-Adventure Title ‘EONA’ Appearing at Gamescom 2026; New Gameplay Trailer Released [Watch]
With gamescom 2026 right around the corner, developer/publisher SUPER AC has revealed that their upcoming horror adventure game EONA will be making an appearance at the show, which takes place from August 26-30. In addition, the team has revealed a new gameplay trailer, as well as announcing that the game will launch “just a few weeks” after gamescom.
Those attending gamescom will be able to play the final version of EONA at the SUPER AC booth, located in Hall 10.1, Booth A043. If you’re not able to attend, you can always check out the demo for the game on Steam.
EONA centres around the eponymous girl, who after a failed spell, has her soul split into two, with one half residing in a mysterious puppet. Eona must enter the castle of the evil fairy Mélusine and recover an artifact that is the only hope of saving her mother. But the path through the castle comes at a cost. To achieve her goal, Eona must uncover the castle’s secrets… and ultimately confront Mélusine herself.
Eona wields the Puppeteer’s Cross, a stolen artifact that allows her to manipulate the souls of the castle’s servants. By altering their behavior, redirecting their patrol routes, and disrupting the castle’s order, she can turn its own inhabitants against it. She can also swap between her human body and her puppet form, with each form granting unique abilities that are essential for delving deeper into the castle, reaching inaccessible areas, and uncovering its hidden secrets.
Blending stealth, exploration, puzzle-solving and soul manipulation, you’ll use Eona’s supernatural abilities to overcome obstacles—but never lose sight of your own body, which is completely vulnerable when using her puppet form.
In addition to Steam, EONA will also be launching on the Epic Games Store.
