Demo Prologue Now Available for Psychological Horror Title ‘Dread Eagle’ [Trailer]
Keen on checking out the upcoming psychological horror game Dread Eagle before it launches into Early Access? You’ll now be able to do so with the demo, which is now available on Steam.
The demo is designed as a free prologue to Dread Eagle, appropriately titled Dread Eagle Demo Prologue, and takes place shortly before the events of the main game. The demo includes its own unique content separate from the full version of the game. Rather, the demo gives players a separate first look at the world, atmosphere, and survival mechanics of Dread Eagle.
The demo has players being captured by Soviet soldiers and taken to a classified research site known as Unit 91-C. Hidden deep inside a secret military facility, Unit 91-C is rumored to be the place where disturbing experiments were carried out on unwilling subjects. But when the player arrives, it becomes clear that the facility is no longer under Soviet control. Something has gone wrong, and the experiments inside have left behind carnage in their wake.
As a result, players must explore the dark corridors of the facility, interact with the environment, uncover fragments of the story, and learn the basics of survival as they face whatever is still lurking inside. The demo can be played alone or together with a friend in co-op, giving players the choice to face the horror by themselves or enter the facility as a team.
“Dread Eagle Demo Prologue is the first step into the world of the game,” said Tarba Paul Cornel, Game Director at Galactic Crows. “We wanted players to feel the tension from the very beginning, but also give them something separate from the full game. This prologue has its own content, its own moments, and it sets up the nightmare that continues in Dread Eagle.”

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.
