The Predator Stalks His Prey In DayZ
Okay, so it’s not actually the Predator, but this is still pretty damn awesome!
While playing some DayZ, YouTube user LastStandGamer stumbled upon a forest encampment where two players were attempting to sleep through the night. After all, a long day of scavenging and hunting will get one all sorts of knackered out!
However, instead of letting them enjoy their surely well deserved rest, LastStandGamer cracked open his Predator soundboard and began issuing those signature clicks and roars that made this extraterrestrial beast so terrifying. As one would expect, the two gamers began shooting wildly in any direction they could think and then proceeded to GTFO.
Just another day in the lovely universe of DayZ.
Black Tabby Games has dropped a little update on the progress for Scarlet Hollow, announcing that writing work on their planned expansion to the game’s first five episodes has finished, with the team pivoting to the art. Testing for the update is set to begin in “about a couple of weeks,” though if you’re a Patreon member, you can get early access to it.
The update adds around 70,000 words of new and remastered content, with most of it expanding some of the shorter sections. The update also tweaks certain aspects of gameplay, as well as adding more dialogue (obviously) between characters, and even revamps one of the endings to the fifth episode.
The team also confirmed that writing for Episode 6 is well underway, though no release date has been announced.
Currently in Early Access on Steam, Scarlet Hollow is an immersive horror-mystery with sharp writing, impactful choices, and meticulously hand-drawn art. What was supposed to be a quiet getaway in the rural mountains of North Carolina to meet your long-lost cousin and comfort her through her mother’s funeral, has turned into a nightmare of cryptids and other supernatural horrors. You only have to survive a week. But can you get to the bottom of these mysteries haunting Scarlet Hollow before they claim your life?
