The costume pack and two new Civilians will set you back $9.99 each, while the map is available for free.

The big draw, of course, will be the two new skins for Michael Myers: one being inspired by his look from Halloween (2018), and the other from Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers. The Myers skins will be available for $9.99 each.

Halloween: The Game is available digitally on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. The game is also available physically on PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.

The Endless Salvation update will be free for everyone who owns MOLE. And to celebrate the update, MOLE will be 25% off from October 26 to November 5 on Steam.

Endless Descent is a new survival game mode built around one simple goal: descend as far as you can without the machine failing or the depths claiming you. Players will face new gameplay mechanics, increasingly dangerous encounters, and harsher conditions as they push their machinery to its limits. Every descent is another attempt to go further, but surviving gets harder the deeper you go.

The update also expands the mysterious world of MOLE, offering new glimpses into the fate of its universe and the unsettling forces lurking beneath the surface. For those who have already completed the original descent, there’s more to uncover and more reasons to fear what lies below.

Drawing on themes of religion, madness, and guilt, MOLE takes place in the eponymous colossal drilling machine deep beneath post-war Slavic soil, where you are the Navigator. Unfortunately, the crew is gone, the vessel is silent, and the Signal won’t stop calling. Your objective is simple: Keep the machine running at all costs.

And in case you missed it, check out Aaron’s review of MOLE.

You are Leonardo, and your daughter Arianna is missing. As wildfires burn, your search for her leads to the town of Matera, one of the oldest inhabited places on Earth, then continues deep below. You must search streets once crowded with people and tourists, now deserted as the fire closes in. Piece together forgotten papers and words on damaged recordings: more than one story is waiting to be uncovered, and every one leads back to Arianna.

However, you’re not the only one in town. Shadowy figures move through Matera, and they hunt you by the sound you make. A careless step through water, or a lever thrown, and they’ll know exactly where you are. Silence is usually your best ally, unless you find a way to face them when you can. But as mentioned, they’re not the only threat: with wildfires this close, even the air is not always breathable.

Your smartwatch does more than keep track of what you are carrying, the documents you have read and your next objective. It also monitors your heart rate, your blood oxygen, your step count, and battery life. You’re also carrying a flashlight to illuminate the dark, and a noise detector to help keep silent. You also have a strange artifact with you that you don’t quite yet understand..

Explore the abandoned city, the land burning around it, and the hollows that run beneath them both. The locations in the game are based on real places, on the architecture and landscape of Matera and southern Italy. You’ll need to look closely at what the environment hides: its puzzles are rooted in ancient mysteries, or in ordinary things.

Welcome to HorrorVale! Your next door neighbors are zombies, reanimated monsters deliver the mail and ghosts hide out in your bathroom. Join Alice as she journeys through the underworld on a quest to save her zombie Dog, Scruffy from strange and unusual monsters that have suddenly invaded the once peaceful town of HorrorVale.

HorrorVale is a traditional RPG adventure game inspired by horror, with traditional turn-based combat with a “spooky” spin. You’ll experience the game’s story across four acts, with the main quest lasting 25 hours. For completionists, there’s the additional 35 hours of content as you bash through over 500 mechanically unique enemies.

Players will recruit over 30 unique party members, each with their own abilities and quirks. You’ll also have 60 available sidequests for further character development. The console versions will feature new battles and QoL enhancements.

First up is a new trailer for Forest Reges’ cooking roguelike SATED. While there’s still no release date yet for the game on Steam, the demo will launch “soon”. In the meantime, you can check out the latest trailer, which shows off more gameplay.

SATED sees you descend into a dripping megastructure to cook increasingly grotesque delicacies for ever-hungrier monsters. Your only tool is a sentient, cursed fridge that works like a deranged slot machine. Spin for twitching ingredients, bet everything and pray the customer leaves satisfied…or become the meal yourself.

Developer Hey Bird!’s occult detective adventure game Inkblood recently had its demo released, which even if you participated in the April playtest, you’ll still find plenty of new stuff to check out. The demo includes the first three cases, which includes a remade case from the playtest.

Coming to Steam later this year, Inkblood tasks players as the Inquisitor, who must investigate a case of wicked sorcery that is rotting the minds of people and the very fabric of reality itself. Besides your wit, keen eye, and intuition, you’ll be making use of your carriage, which provides you with some “advanced” tools. Inspect the clues, take photos of everything important, compile a case file and dial your overseer once you have a strong theory.

Lastly, the demo for Grobnopolis | Last Days is finally here, allowing players to check out the first two chapters of the game. Once again, for those who’ve already checked out BananaDevJeff’s the original Funeralopolis on itch.io, there are some new things to check out with the demo.

When the locals begin to whisper about a thick “Soup” overtaking the streets, and the ecclesiastical order tightens its unseen grip on your community, you must piece together what’s happening through newspapers, uneasy conversations, and a homemade radio. Though you may find, as people often do, that some things were meant to remain buried…

The Toxic Crusaders are back to defend Tromaville against the evil Dr. Killemoff and his army of Radiation Rangers. With local co-op, you can grab up to four friends and take on the forces of Smogula across a variety of vibrant pixel-art levels, including environments inspired from Troma films, such as Class of Nuke ‘Em High and Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead.

You can play as all the members of the original Toxic Crusaders gang, including Toxie, Nozone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger, along with Toxie’s girlfriend, Yvonne, and even Toxie’s mom, Mrs. Junko. Featuring the Tag Out System, players are able to seamlessly swap between two Crusaders to pile on the punishment. You’ll face off against all-new bosses, and not just the expected Dr. Killemoff and other characters from the original cartoon. Expect appearances from those hailing from other Troma films.

Toxic Crusaders is scheduled to launch later this year on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch. You can currently check out the demo on Steam.

Gone is the attribute system that previously funneled players towards certain playstyles. Now, simply picking up a weapon will alter a player’s class from one of a possible 24, with the ability to bring traits from one class to another. There are a total of 362 traits across 24 classes, meaning there are numerous ways to fill trait slots, and adding a weapon expands possibilities even further.

Players can now rise from a new recruit to the top of the food chain in one of Isola Sacra’s six factions, like the assassins of the Severed Hand, the knightly Sacrament Guard, or the Unspoken. Each faction comes with their own unique questline with new traits, unique vendors and some additional surprises.

Also explored are Cerim Cores. Whereas the class system defines how players fight, Cerim Cores define how they endure, ranging from simple upgrades like health, stamina and focus to more exotic aspects like “Feral” increasing attack speed or “Crimson” granting lifesteal. The result is a risk vs. reward mechanic as going over the capacity of Cores means taking more damage from all attacks.

Lastly the devteam also touches on the game’s eventual road to 1.0. Currently still in Early Access, No Rest for the Wicked’s 1.0 update will roughly double the size of the game, with new explorable zones, entirely new enemy factions, new bosses, refinements to the loot system, combat upgrades, and quality of life improvements.

No Rest for the Wicked is currently slated for a March 2027 release on PC via Steam and PlayStation 5, with releases for the Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2 planned at a later date.

As with the previous entries, the latest trailer, “Act III: The Man”, reveals another fragment of the investigation for the game’s protagonist, Mila, as well as inviting viewers to piece together the mystery as it unfolds.

From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.

Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.

When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.

The game’s story centers around two children who descend into the Chrysalis, a world beneath ours where everything humanity throws away ends up, and must work together to survive its darkness. The Chrysalis once gave a new purpose to everything that fell into it. That was the work of an enormous glowworm its inhabitants called the Sun Queen, and she is dead. Without her light, the things she made are forgetting what they were made for.

The children arrive after her death when there is no light left. Almost nothing. Luckily, they quickly find Glint, a small glowing grub that provides light in the dark. Glint can only be in one place at a time. One child needs to carry the light while the other works in darkness, forcing players to communicate, coordinate and trust each other to survive.

“Glint started as a normal lantern. Then we thought, what if the thing helping these children survive was actually another creature they could care for? That small change ended up becoming one of the most important parts of the game, explains​ Mano, Game Designer at Snowberry Games.

Beyond keeping each other alive, the children must solve puzzles, fight the creatures that stalk the dark, and meet the strange characters who have built their lives among humanity’s discarded waste.

Available for purchase as a two-character bundle for $9.99 USD, as with the other Civilians, Eugene and Michelle carry their own unique traits to help even the odds against Michael.

Eugene Kelly was a fledgling kid genius until he found his true calling… being a game master for his tabletop role playing game campaigns. Due to his pesky habit of being too smart for his own good and acting as an exasperating know-it-all, he was never the most popular kid in school. When he wasn’t tutoring football captain Thomas in calculus or being ignored by the girls, Eugene found solace in fantasy– the library providing a haven for him to pursue his true passions.

​His love for tabletop games and crafting new, imaginary worlds eventually distracted from his other ambitions, causing his grades to dip and making college an afterthought. Now, he spends his time in Haddonfield working a dead-end job. As long as he has his campaign, he’s not complaining.

Eugene’s Unique Trait, Lurker, allows him to linger in bushes to increase both stamina regen and stalk degradation.

Meanwhile, Michelle Blanton is Haddonfield’s local artist. Visiting the Chicago Art Institute in elementary school ignited a passion in Michelle that forever changed the trajectory of her life and squashed her parents’ hopes of her becoming a rich, successful doctor. Michelle paints her own path, even if the residents of Haddonfield think she’s a little bit different.

​It doesn’t matter that Michelle still lives at home with her parents two years after graduation because she’s on a journey to create works that reflect her unique perspective and vibrant imagination. Her bedroom, which doubles as her art studio, showcases her colorful and curious personality. Every nook and cranny is filled with half-finished sculptures, charcoal etchings, comic books, storyboards for the weird experimental animated short she plans on making, and anything that inspires her. Now the biggest question is, will this artist become Michael’s next grisly work of art?

Michelle’s Unique Trait, Therapeutic, grants a percentage of health gained from health items to those in her close vicinity.

The Civilian Characters Pack will release alongside the Halloween 5 Farm Tower Map, as well as two paid Michael Myers skins.

Halloween: The Game is available digitally on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. The game is also available physically on PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.

The crossover was teased earlier this week, with The Marker from Dead Space showing up at the end of the Season 5 Las Vegas gameplay trailer. The story goes that Pax Armata will be pursuing secret tech hidden beneath Area 51 in the event, which just so happens to be decked out in assets taken from the 2023 Dead Space remake.

“Battlefield 6 is now one year old and what an incredible journey it’s been, from our Top Gun collaboration, which coincided with the return of Naval Warfare, to the launch of some of the most exhilarating maps in Battlefield history,” Battlefield Studios general manager Patrick Klaus said.

“And we’re just getting started, with Season 5 set to be the biggest yet. This has been an unforgettable year and we can’t thank players enough. We’re ending 2026 with a bang with three maps set in and around Las Vegas, a new way to experience REDSEC, as well as delivering on some of our community’s most requested features, with the introduction of Platoons and Server Browser. There’s never been a better time to play Battlefield.”

Battlefield 6 is available on PC, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series. Meanwhile, Motive EA’s remake can be found on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.

Since launching in Early Access back in February, Question has continued to expand and refine The Killing Stone with new optional story content, gameplay balancing, quality-of-life improvements, and updates informed by player feedback. These include additional questlines, adjustments to card decks and combat encounters, and improvements to the game’s bargaining and reward systems. With the full 1.0 launch, players can access the fourth and final chapter, The Reckoning, bringing together the decks they’ve crafted throughout the first three chapters to take part in climactic rituals that determine the fate of the Svangard clan.

“Our intrepid Early Access community asked for more devious, specific cards to support their personal strategies to beat the Devil. They also requested a more intricate narrative, more voice acting from Emma Gregory and Liam O’Brien, and optional story choices which alter the endings for our cursed little family. For the past several months, we have worked to make their dark wishes come true,” said Question’s co-owner and narrative director Jordan Thomas. “We’re deeply grateful to them for helping shape The Killing Stone into the engrossing, tempting — and unique experience it is today.”

The Killing Stone is a duel of diabolical wit and strategy – which invites you to Beat the Devil at his own game. Your mission: travel to the Arctic Circle in order to save a cursed family from the clutches of demons. It features a first-person perspective, enchanted game board figurines which come to life with dazzling effects, and haunting audio. Featuring the vocal talents of Emma Gregory (Baldur’s Gate 3) and Liam O’Brien (Critical Role), the entire story, including their voiced dialogue, can be played in authentic 17th-century English or a more contemporary style.

Dream Dock aims for DREADMOOR to be in Early Access for six to 12 months, with new content to be added during this period, and will be available at a lower price during Early Access.

“Based on everyone’s feedback from our playtests and demo, we want to take the time to make sure that DREADMOOR lives up to the expectations from everyone,” said Rostislav Fedorov, CEO of Dream Dock. “Your feedback on Steam, Discord, Reddit, our in-game surveys, we’re reading everything and you’re helping us make the game better.”

Marooned in the strange and cursed Submerged Lands, players will take the helm of a rickety boat in hopes of escaping. Salvage wreckage and flotsam to repair the ship, then find a way to civilization, or the closest thing to it in a place like this: an ominous bait shop perched atop a set of monstrous crab legs. Armed with a rod, reel, and a few curious-looking lures, head back out onto the inky waters to catch the most twisted fish you’ve ever laid eyes on.

As captain, pilot the trawler through an ominous network of inlets and lakes to find the best spots for reeling in denizens of the deep. Master the art of a tactile fishing system, picking the right lures, and letting the line play out while waiting for just the right moment to reel in a monster. Carefully arrange each catch in the hold’s compartments – some fish are content to share space, while carnivorous sea creatures cannibalize profits, given the chance.

Coming to Steam on November 3, Saraab: Beyond The Veil is described as a story of self-discovery and connection, harnessing the supernatural spirits of Arabian mythology to pay homage to the developer’s heritage. The game combines Gulf-inspired folklore with psychological horror to craft an emotional family story, drawing on djinn traditions and tales known across the Gulf and UAE in particular, bringing a less familiar cultural perspective to the visual-novel horror space.

When her younger brother Adam vanishes, Elham “Elly” is pulled into a nightmare she never chose. She discovers that his disappearance is tied to a destiny she can no longer ignore.

Guided by a mysterious being and haunted by the shadow that follows her, Elham must awaken a dormant light within herself. She is forced to face the wounds she has spent a lifetime avoiding. Every encounter, whether with dark entities or pieces of her own psyche, brings her closer to the truth about Adam and about who she really is.

Saraab is an atmospheric, narrative‑driven psychological horror visual novel about self‑worth, sorrow, and the quiet terror of being seen. Your choices shape Elham’s path. Will she succumb to the darkness, or embrace the light?

Traveling to an isolated star system to check on reports of increased Chaos activity, playable characters Ultramarine Malum Caedo and Sister of Battle Nyra Veyrath soon find themselves facing the wrath of Vashtorr the Arkifane. A demigod of immense power, Vashtorr awakens a vast daemonic machine at the centre of the planet, causing a catastrophic explosion and destroying much of the Imperial fleet. Now Malum and Nyra must race from world to world to cleanse the corruption powering Vashtorr’s daemonic machinations – and to stand a chance of banishing the demigod back to the Warp.

Continuing where the original Boltgun left off, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun II features more retro-inspired combat, where you will master different playstyles and arsenals while cleansing your enemies in the name of the Emperor. Play as either the all-new, agile, blade-wielding Sister of Battle Nyra Veyrath, or cut through heretics as the hulking one-man army returning from the original Boltgun, Ultramarine Malum Caedo.

Accompanying the action are the growling guitars and hammering drums, with an all-new composition from Mick Gordon (DOOM (2016), DOOM Eternal).

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun II will also be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 later this year.

Clocking in at around one hour of playtime, the demo includes the first level of the final game, along with cutscenes from Levels 2-3, Level 4, and part of Level 5.

In DERELIKT, you’ll explore the Von Neuman Outpost, an expansive research station grafted onto an anomalous derelict asteroid in orbit around Saturn. However, as these things go, the hallways have gone dark, the systems are failing, and the few survivors left aren’t telling the same story.

Featuring a faithful and beautiful recreation of PS1 aesthetics, right down to the texture warping, you’ll interact with over a dozen NPCs in a robust dialogue system. You’ll also be encountering old-school puzzles in the style of survival horror classics, along with an array of unspeakable horrors. Luckily, you’ve got an array of classic and outlandish weapons to defend yourself. But remember, you’ve got to juggle inventory space to manage your ammo, items and health. Not to mention that every shot has a cost.

The game is about being handcuffed to a hand-stabbing machine that won’t unlock itself until you’ve stabbed between your fingers (or into them) 500 times. Oh, and you have just 20 minutes on the clock to accomplish this feat. Will you make it out with all your fingers, or will you bleed out on the table?

Choose what the machine stabs you with next, from the dull Rusty Fork to the all-seeing Ritual Knife. You’ll earn money through stabbing your hand, which you can then spend on items and rings to improve your chances. However, each stab carries the risk of losing a finger and bleeding out. But at the same time, each stab brings you closer to freedom.

Barbara’s ordeal begins when the cult takes her deep into the Colorado wilderness. They know about a secret from her past, and after an occult ritual, Barbara wakes up marked with a mysterious ram symbol and unexplainable pregnancy. With only the help of a mysterious private eye named Rex Rouge, Barbara must fight through the wilderness, uncover the truth behind the cult, and survive long enough to return to her husband.

Combining shooter gameplay with visual storytelling and a retro comic-style artwork, Mark of the Ram features combat built around a unique skill-based ammo system. Rather than simply searching for ammunition, players can replenish their supply by landing skillful shots, rewarding accuracy and making every encounter a test of ability.

You’ll need your accuracy, as you’ll face endless hordes of cultists across Mount Aries National Park, along with eight bosses.

Mark of the Ram is currently available to wishlist on Steam.

Located on the outskirts of Haddonfield, the Tower Farm “hosts a passionate group of farmers who spend their days tending to their fields and preparing for the next harvest.” Compared to the quiet and cozy Haddonfield Town Center, Tower Farm serves as the perfect rustic getaway.

As the seasons change, the farmers prepare their produce and get ready for the annual harvest festival. Corn and pumpkins are staple crops in these parts, and supply a huge source of food for Haddonfield and the neighboring towns. To celebrate Fall’s arrival and the upcoming Halloween festivities, Tower Farm hosts a seasonal celebration for the whole community. Families travel far and wide to carve pumpkins, listen to live music, and maybe even grab a rustic souvenir. Attending the harvest festival at Tower Farm is a wholesome rite of passage for the citizens of Haddonfield.

While nothing beats the sunset view at Tower Farm, the sprawling fields that surround the area can be quite eerie come nightfall. Some locals even claim to see shadowy figures moving amongst the corn stalks. Between the farmhouses, historic barns packed with farming tools, surrounding fields, and irrigation structures placed at the intersection of several weathered county roads, there are plenty of places for visitors to explore. And for the ill-prepared, even more opportunities for a face-to-face encounter with the Boogeyman.

Next to Tower Farm lies an established trailer park where many employees and locals wind down after a hard day’s work. With an on-site laundromat and even a convenience store perfect for late-night snacks, this trailer park has plenty of worthwhile amenities.

In addition to the Tower Farm map, players can expect new versions of The Shape with the version of Michael from Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers and the version of Michael from Halloween 2018. IllFonic will also be introducing two new Civilians, a very special Halloween costume pack, and more in this first DLC, which will arrive on October 27.

Halloween: The Game is available digitally on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. You can also pick up the physical version of the game on PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.

Wanting to create a visual style that stood out from the crowd, much like the game’s protagonist, Davy – GPTRACK50 went with a style that’s not too polished, but “rebellious, emotional, impactful, and something that leaves a lasting impression.” The team drew upon their neo pop punk theme using colours and styles that tied into the nostalgic feel of that sound. Combined with a hand-drawn style for the 3D models, the team blended the classically familiar with modern elements to create something that felt “dynamic and hand-crafted.”

With Over Technology (OT) being a core mechanic to Davy’s – and his enemies – arsenal, integrating it organically into the monster designs was key. To make enemy power easily identifiable by the player, the more powerful the enemy, the more dangerous the dungeon, the more menacing the visuals become.

Since the story is from Davy’s perspective, the team wanted to make the player feel immersed in his mind. It was decided that the UI, and other visual details should look as if they were things that Davy would have lying around, or drawn by himself.

Stupid Never Dies will launch October 21 for PC via Steam and PlayStation 5. A demo is currently available on both platforms.

The average demo playthrough will run players around 1 hour 20 minutes. And even though the devteam has jumped the gun, Medium Rare will still be part of Steam Next Fest, which runs from October 19 to 26.

As the world’s resources run dry, the world has turned to human meat consumption as a way of survival. Unfortunately, your wife is taken to ExeCo, the world’s most renowned human meat processing plant, somewhere up the mountain. As a result, you must hike your way to the top of the mountain to save her, dealing not only with cannibals, but also the Infected, and mutant animals that roam the area.

Players will move floor to floor through a grid-based map, making tactical resource management decisions, as you decide when to push forward, and when to extract back to base. Seeing as this is survival, every bullet matters. Combat is dice-based, and weapons synergize to make intuitive combos that could help you save resources. You’ll of course need to manage your inventory, Tetris style. Decide what’s worth carrying, and what gets left behind.

The only place on the mountain that offers you respite is your camp, where you can retreat after dragging parts home in order to upgrade your tools and your skills. Once you reach the end of a floor, you can choose to extract and keep your haul to bring back to base, or you can choose to gamble it for a richer prize.

Atlantis Studio collaborated with Kyoto-based Q-Games, the studio behind the Cloudly technology, whose team contributed its animation expertise to bring the Gloam’s unsettling presence to life. The trailer also offers a closer look at the game’s distinctive two-player asymmetric horror experience, built around communication, observation and trust.

Beyond the Dark: Nightwatch is a two-player shared horror experience built around asymmetrical collaboration. Communication is the only thing standing between survival and darkness. One player wakes up alone inside a strange house, haunted by what’s known as the Gloam lurking in the shadows. Meanwhile, the second player must guide, interpret, and coordinate the first player’s actions from a network of cameras.

Separated by perspective but bound by a shared objective, both players must talk, strategize, and react in real time to the horrors around them. You’ll need to combine information from completely the network of cameras in order to understand the house, solve its mysteries, and escape. The cooperative horror experience turns communication into both your greatest strength and your biggest risk. Clear instructions can save you. Misunderstandings can doom you.

Dead of the Brain was originally released in March 1992, and was eventually ported to the PC-Engine (though both titles stayed in Japan). The game was the first horror title for FairyTale, which up until that point had been doing adult-oriented titles.

Conceived as a tribute to American splatter films of the 1980s, the game’s story borrows from Re-Animator, amongst others. The player takes on the role of Cole, whose friend Doctor Cooger has created a serum to bring people back from the dead. As you might expect, Cole soon finds himself in the midst of a zombie outbreak.

The game is your typical point-and-click adventure title, where you’ll have to use commands like Look, Use, and Get to explore the game’s environments, search for key information, and progress the story. Dead of the Brain is noteworthy for its gory sequences, as well as the equivalent of today’s quick time events. During these QTEs, players must quickly react by clicking in specific areas in order to avoid the deaths of certain characters (or yourself).

For this re-release, in addition to the fully translated text, the game’s pixel art has been “faithfully” upscaled, and the game itself includes optional quality-of-life improvements such as hover hints and hit boxes.

Alongside the release date announcement at the Convergence Showcase, the devteam has released a new trailer, giving players a glimpse into the dynamic between the game’s main characters – Katherine and Ava.

Focusing on the soulful bond between a parent and child, players navigate a ruined world as Katherine, guiding and protecting her daughter, Ava, from monsters driven by a primal hunger. By trading mindless carnage for story-driven survival, The Road Of Dust And Sorrow blurs the line between necessity and cruelty, forcing players to ask how far they will go to protect the only light left in the dark.

“Crossing 150,000 wishlists is completely overwhelming,” says Roman, Developer at Painted Black Games. “We set out to build a game that felt close to our hearts. Seeing so many players connect with Katherine and Ava’s journey shows us that there’s a real hunger for stories that represent deeply human experiences.”

A remedy engineered to end hunger has had the unfortunate side effect of turning people into ravenous addicts known as Dusters. Ten years after humanity’s fall, Katherine and her daughter Ava wander the ruins of civilization, clinging to a fragile hope for a better future.

Music plays a central role in bringing the tone of Stupid Never Dies to life. Rather than adding music to the final game after development concluded, the team started with Davy’s theme song first and used the inspiration from that to shape the game. As Davy’s adventure starts with the classic “boy-meets-girl scenario”, the team knew right away that the pop-punk songs they loved in their youth would be the perfect genre to capture the unabashed joy of young love.

From there, the team delved into the different characters and enemies that Davy would face along the way, asking themselves “if they made music, what would they make?”. To match the diversity of the game, the team expanded genres, blending everything – from metal, to rock, to electronic music, even traditional Japanese instrumentation and motifs – to create what they like to call “Neo Pop Punk”.

Music is also the backbone to the flow of the game, with songs that dynamically shift between tense exploration, high energy battles, and calmer rest spots while Davy explores KOM’s domain, to chill, Low-Fi Beats to Get Battle-Ready to in Davy’s Mall home base. Sound is deeply rooted in the player’s experience of the game: if the gameplay changes and evolves, the music changes and evolves alongside.

Stupid Never Dies will launch October 21 for PC via Steam and PlayStation 5. You can get a taste of the game via the demo that’s available on Steam and the PlayStation 5.

Experience a new original story and canonical addition to the infernal world of the legendary Hellraiser series, where those who enter will face horrors beyond the darkest nightmares known to man.

“The day has finally arrived,” says Clive Barker, horror legend and creator of Hellraiser. “Working closely with Saber Interactive has been an extraordinary experience. Watching the team take the Hellraiser mythology to apocalyptic extremes—evolving our vision into a wicked new horror masterpiece that will blow audiences away using iconic Hellraiser imagery to create a dark, unforgettable, and visionary journey full of twisted suffering and temptation—has been amazing. There’s beauty in pain, and I can’t wait for fans to unravel its torturous secrets and delights.”

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival features the return of Doug Bradley as the voice of Pinhead, the role he first carved into our collective nightmares nearly 40 years ago.

In the game, players take on the role of Aidan, who must unlock the dark powers of a mysterious puzzle box known as the Genesis Configuration in order to help his girlfriend from a hellish abyss. As Aidan, you’ll harness the box’s infernal abilities to survive your pact with the sinister Pinhead and battle against the twisted cult that worships him and the Cenobites.

Serafini Games revealed that BrokenLore: ASCEND, which was announced in November of last year, will launch on January 7 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Players follow Ren and Yui, two rooftop climbers who live for views and likes on their channel, SKYLIMIT. Looking for the stunt that will top everything they have done before, they sneak into Elysium Tower, the tallest building in Japan, for a forbidden climb at night. Halfway up, the stunt turns into a fight to survive.

Developer Studio Abattoir has finally found a publisher in Silver Lining Interactive for their psychological horror RPG, The Pines. And while the game is still slated for release in 2027 on Steam, the new trailer offers a better look at what the team has in store for players.

The Pines sees players take on the role of Edward Walker, a former detective seeking solace at The Pines – a remote forest retreat that promises peace, therapy, and recovery. But behind the facade of warm smiles, cheerful signage, and carefully crafted image lies something far more disturbing, which will pull Edward headfirst into a surreal, paranoid and dizzying mystery with echoes of his past.

Ten Image Publishing and developer myradann have revealed their Night of the Living Dead-inspired incremental survival horror game, Night of the Idle Horde. In addition, the game has a demo that’s now available on Steam.

Launching on November 16, the game invites players to build their very own horde of flesh eating zombies, spread the infection across regions and topple humanity in this incremental idler. For players who want to pause their own brains, you can switch to Desktop Mode and customise the layout as you let the apocalypse happen in the corner of your screen.

Night of the Idle Horde wasn’t the only title Ten Image Publishing had in store for gamers. They also revealed Below The Blades from Dillion Muse, a first-person climbing survival horror set on an isolated wind turbine far out at sea, home to a chilling mystery and a stalking monster. Coming to Steam on November 12, you can also check out the game’s demo now.

Marsh Offshore Energy needs someone willing to climb its tallest creation: Turbine 46. Now you’re alone, scaling the 660 meter megalith with only a simple tool belt to complete the job. But you’re not alone for long. A Lovecraftian horror from beneath the waves has no intention of letting you escape Turbine 46.

If you thought you were done with OnTheHouse’s Huntsman, guess again. Launching on October 26 is the game’s “Protect & Serve” story DLC, allowing players to take the fight to the spiders. In addition, you’ll also be getting the game’s Hardcore Mode, which will launch for free to all players alongside the DLC.

Protect & Serve continues the story of Huntsman (which is available now on Steam), picking up shortly after the main game’s credits, this time putting you in the shoes of a local police officer. Swapping a flashlight for a handgun, this DLC brings combat to the game with its own dedicated mode, story and missions to complete, set in a new hidden location within Atherton Labs.

With Remothered: Red Run’s Legacy on the way later this month, developer Stormind Games has released a new trailer that focuses on the visual journey through the real places, textures, colors, and cultural details of Sicily that shaped the game’s world.

Remothered: Red Nun’s Legacy will launch on October 27 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG.

Accompanying the announcements is a new trailer that showcases the darker, stranger direction BECROWNED has taken since it was originally announced several years ago. The game has evolved dramatically since early impressions drew comparisons to classic staples of the psychological horror genre. BECROWNED now encompasses the atmosphere of 1970s and 1980s grindhouse cinema, as well as the surrealist dark satirical humor of 70s French horror.

In BECROWNED, players step into the role of Richard Torrance, a self-willed yet deeply dissatisfied man who believes happiness is something to be seized through sheer force of will. However, underneath his domineering mantle lies a gnawing emptiness that no achievement can satisfy. The player will navigate a complex web of Richard’s relationships – both inside and outside of the strange dimension he finds himself in – to determine his ultimate fate.

The more he pursues the simple yet elusive concept of happiness, the further Richard is drawn into bizarre, disturbing, and surreal places that should not exist…but remain very real. As he descends into a nightmarish world where reality and madness begin to blur, his desperate need for control becomes an obsession, forcing him to question whether the greatest threat to his own salvation is himself or those around him.

If you’re keen to check out the game, you can play the recently-updated demo on the game’s Steam page.

A direct sequel to Dead of Darkness, Dead of Darkness 2 enhances the original’s crunchy sprite-based aesthetic to deliver higher detailed visuals, full 2D isometric gameplay and more frames of animation. Narratively, it builds upon the deep and chilling lore established in the first game, introducing a fresh cast of characters and an eerie new location to explore: the deeply sinister town of Goldren Creek.

When Jun Takehara finds a wounded little girl in the Appalachians, her search for help takes her to Goldren Creek, where she is soon pulled into a nightmare of unspeakable horrors; what she uncovers in the town’s depths will change her life forever.

Dead of Darkness 2 features a cast of 28 characters, each with their own story connected to the larger mystery. Every note you find, object you examine, and room you explore holds details that bring you closer to Goldren Creek’s disturbing secret.

You’ll also be able to seamlessly switch between up to three characters during certain sections of the game. Use their different positions to solve puzzles, conserve resources, and outsmart your enemies. A shared item box lets you quickly exchange items between characters.

As you might expect, ammo and healing items are scarce, so use them wisely if you want to survive. Combine healing items to craft more potent medkits, upgrade weapons with parts, and manage your inventory weight to stay agile.

You’re also not defenseless. Fight back with everything from knives and axes to submachine guns and flamethrowers. Every weapon comes with its own advantages and drawbacks, including damage, status effects, equip load, and attack speed. Choose your loadout carefully, as your survival may depend on it.

Search files, examine items, and investigate your surroundings to uncover clues. Use what you discover to solve puzzles, unlock secrets, and reveal hidden pathways.

If you’re looking for a refresher, you can check out the original Dead of Darkness on Steam, or you can check it out on GOG, which has just been added to the service with a 40% launch discount.

A cheeky nod to the mascot horror trend, in My Friendly Neighborhood, players strap on the old toolbelt and step into the work boots of Gordon, a repairman who takes on a job well above his pay grade. Initially tasked with shutting down the sudden broadcast of a beloved canceled children’s TV show titled The Friendly Neighborhood, Gordon finds himself faced with a whole neighborhood’s worth of floppy-armed puppet fiends.

Rather than the blood and guts approach for many Survival Horror games, My Friendly Neighborhood instead has players fending off and restraining these puppets with an armory of workshopped non-lethal tools and duct tape, solving playful-turned-perilous puzzles, and hopefully uncover the sinister truth at the heart of this terrifying-yet-goofy tale.

My Friendly Neighborhood is currently available for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox One and Xbox Series. If you need a refresher, you can read our review for the PC version.

Update 1.1.0 adds changes and tweaks to certain combat encounters that some players found overwhelming, with fewer enemies and lighter wave compositions across several key fights.

“We’ve been keeping a close eye on what players and reviewers have been saying since launch, and we wanted to act on that feedback,” explains Sergiy Oganesyan, Publishing Director at Frogwares. “Update 1.1.0 tackles some of the biggest points we’ve seen raised, while also bringing features players have been asking for.”

Several encounters have been reworked to reduce enemy pressure and make fights more manageable without removing the challenge. Fewer enemies and lighter wave compositions have been introduced in the encounters players highlighted as “particularly overwhelming.”

HDR support has been added across all platforms, including HDR10+, allowing players with compatible displays to experience The Sinking City 2 with expanded contrast and a wider range of brightness. Meanwhile, PC players can now find AMD FSR 4.1.1 among the available Video settings. A new Legacy mode has also been added for NVIDIA DLSS.

The Sinking City 2 now supports PlayStation 5 Pro, including PSSR. Quality Mode benefits from strand-based hair, improved Lumen lighting, and higher-quality reflections, while Performance Mode now renders at a higher internal resolution.

The game’s post-completion mode, Ex Oblivione, has been reworked. Inventory slot and weapon upgrades now carry over, while Pure New Game has been added for players looking for a completely clean run after finishing the game. Lastly, players can also unlock two new outfits for protagonist Calvin Rafferty: The Warlock and The King in Yellow.

The Sinking City 2 is available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Check out Luiz’s thoughts on the game.

The Conjuring: Unspoken is an interactive paranormal investigation you can play from your couch. It’s a narrative experience, so you shape the story by choosing different dialogue options as you play. Using your phone, you scour the historic Red Lion Inn (reportedly a haunted place in England) for clues about things that go bump in the night.

As demonologist Francesca Noakes, you scan the area around you with an electromagnetic field reader, an infrared camera, and a spirit box — ghost-hunter tools of the trade for finding apparitions in the wild. The big screen shows your virtual environment, while the one in your hand serves as the controller for these tools. The infrared camera, for instance, allows you to see a thermal overlay of the environment while you’re looking for cold spots that indicate an otherworldly presence.

You don’t need to watch the movies to play The Conjuring: Unspoken. That said, if you’re in deep with the Warrens, you’ll get a lot more from the experience. There are a few familiar faces that pop up in the game, and knowing the backstory adds to the overall impact.

“I think NieR: Automata is a game that leaves its mark on anyone who plays it, and we’re thrilled to welcome it into the world of Dead by Daylight,” says Dead by Daylight Creative Director Dave Richard. “Beyond the amazing characters and incredible visuals, there’s a definite connection between the themes of our two universes, both dealing with cycles of violence and suffering. Bringing 2B, A2, and Emil into The Fog gave us a chance to help celebrate what makes NieR: Automata so special to us.”

The NieR: Automata Collection is only the start of Dead by Daylight‘s Halloween celebration. Behaviour Interactive has teased fresh content every week. That includes the game’s annual Haunted by Daylight event, which kicks off October 13 and runs for three weeks.

You and your crew are hazmat cleaners working the night shift at Hargrove Psychiatric Institute, an abandoned hospital with a history no one talks about and a presence no one can explain. Every shift, you get your directives from the dispatcher: clean the blood off the walls, seal the contaminated rooms, collect the biological samples. Simple work. Good pay. Just don’t make too much noise.

The game loop has you first clocking in and checking your directives. From there, you’ll be scrubbing blood, sealing breaches and bagging samples. Every tool you use makes noise, and every noise draws attention. Work fast, work quiet, or work together, but get the job done.

When the shift timer runs out, the doors lock, and something wakes up. Your next goal is to survive until the work van arrives, then run for it. Should you survive, you’ll be paid for completed directives, with bonus commissions for extra blood vials collected, multiplied by your shift number. You can then spend your cash on promotions and black market gear before the next shift.

Every shift sends you further into the hospital. Later shifts open the exterior grounds where the work is harder, and the things that lurk there are much worse.

Currently, you can check out the solo demo on either Steam or the game’s itch.io page. The devteam plans on having a co-op demo coming soon to Steam, which will be just in time for Steam Next Fest starting on October 19.

In VCR83, attention to detail is essential. Players must watch for anything that shouldn’t be there and click directly on suspicious changes to report them. The process is simple, but deciding what to trust becomes part of the challenge. Successful reports earn Tokens, allowing players to unlock new levels and progress deeper into the story.

Alongside the surveillance feeds is Pete, a small virtual assistant who initially appears to be there to help. Players can chat with him, ask questions, make him sing, annoy him, or simply listen to what he has to say. As the game progresses, Pete reacts to the outcomes of their shifts and takes a growing interest in what they are doing. He remembers more than players might expect.

What makes the game even more interesting is just how some effects interact with your real desktop. The game can create folders, interact with Windows Search, and open programs such as Paint. It can also use your Steam friends information and location information for personalised events. Naturally, this has prompted the devs to post an explanation as to what VCR83 can and can’t do.

The game features four playable locations, each with its own cameras, anomalies, atmosphere, secrets, and story. Every level also unlocks a unique 3–5 minute playable Aftermath sequence, taking players back after their shift to discover what happened once the cameras stopped rolling.

For those unaware, the recompilation/decompilation scene has been kicking around for a while now, and has recently seen a surge in popularity. Rather than remaking the entire game from scratch, fans have instead taken the original code and either converted it into a native platform code without reconstructing the manual source code (recompilation), or have broken down the compiled game files and turned them back into human-readable source code (decompilation). The result has seen classics like Silent Hill, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and more show up on PC, with a variety of modern enhancements/Quality of Life updates (you can see a bunch of them in Modern Vintage Gamer’s recent video).

Which brings us to P.T.. Spotted by GameRant, Lorean The Gamer  has reverse-engineered the PS4 executable and rebuilt P.T. in C++ and Vulkan, with the whole thing running on data files from the original demo. Much of what was in the original is here, but with the added bonus of having 60 FPS or higher, increased resolutions, support for mouse and keyboard input, modern controller support, and optional AMD FSR 3.1.

So what does Hideo Kojima think of this? Well, he’s reposted the original story from GameRant on X, so that tells you all you need to know.

Not only will the game see a digital release on consoles, but Senscape has also announced that ASYLUM will see a physical release. That also includes a classic “big box” edition for the PC version. Details on these physical releases are still to come.

The spiritual successor to the 2006 cult classic Scratches, ASYLUM is crafted in the grindhouse style of 80s horror (including its soundtrack), drawing inspiration from H. P. Lovecraft’s stories, the iconic gothic style of Hammer Films, and the twisted horror legacy of Lucio Fulci. As the description states on the Steam page, the game is “the kind of slow-burning horror with an old-school sensibility that creeps upon you.”

ASYLUM casts players into the hallucinatory setting of the Hanwell Mental Institute. As an ex-patient suffering bizarre visions, you must explore the intricate layout of the building, research its past history, and march towards a shocking conclusion. The game aims for a gripping journey filled with mystery, puzzles, and an ambiance that will keep players on edge throughout its 15 hours of gameplay. ASYLUM aims to be a slow-burning horror experience, designed to chill rather than shock, with only a few “carefully placed” scares.

Currently, details on the game are still to come. However, the story for BrokenLore: MIKI-CHAN centres on Kazuaki, a Japanese student determined to pass the entrance exam for Teidai and win over the girl he loves. When he happens upon a mysterious USB stick containing an innovative study support program, he decides to try it, convinced that it can help him. What the USB holds is Miki-chan, a sweet and reassuring virtual assistant. But eventually, something changes, jealousy and possessiveness take over, dragging Kazuaki into a virtual (but still very real) nightmare.

Kazuaki will face psychological challenges that push him to his limits in a world controlled by Miki-chan. However, he has the Rewriter at his disposal, a tool capable of altering reality to attempt to even the playing field and perhaps save him from Miki-chan.

In Signal Veil, players take on the role of Aki Mizuno, a teenage girl whose mother vanishes without a trace. Aki’s mother has left behind one final gift: an old cellphone that reacts to spirits no one else can see. Coincidentally, Aki’s high school has begun to experience series of disappearances, as well as the appearance of strange creatures born from emotional trauma and hidden memories. It’s up to Aki to investigate these disappearances, all the whiel uncovering the truth about herself within the school.

Taking a cue from Silent Hill‘s radio, Aki’s inherited cellphone vibrates, emits unusual sounds, and displays interference whenever spiritual presences or lingering memories are nearby. Not only does it serve as Aki’s primary tool for detecting enemies before they fully manifest, but is also used for identifying corrupted areas, and revealing clues and signals invisible to the naked eye.

Nishikawa High School is a place where every hallway hides a threat and every resource counts. Medicine, ammo and mystical weapons are scarce, so each fight against the school’s spirits demands strategy over brute force. Aki’s sanity adds another layer. As her mind slips, the world around her shifts, enemies grow more unpredictable and her own fighting becomes more desperate.

In addition to the expected fixed camera angles, inventory management and the limited tactical combat, the visuals of Signal Veil blend the tension of classic survival horror such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill with a 90s anime aesthetic inspired by psychological horror series like Another and Jujutsu Kaisen.

After the events of The 1st Floor, players take the elevator down into a destroyed underground facility that has been abandoned for over 40 years. The halls are filled with old Dark Pals equipment and remnants of “the raid”, slowly revealing what happened to the facility and the people inside it.

Further inside, players will encounter a mysterious member of D.A.R.K. From there, the story starts to reveal more about D.A.R.K., UpWard, and the reason the player has returned.

“With the popularity of The 1st Floor, over a billion views all over the internet in just two months, we saw a dream come true! We were overwhelmed with hilarious and positive comments,” says founder of Skunx Games, Winston van Graafeiland. “Then we started making The 2nd Floor, and somehow I think we managed to make it even more insane than the first game. We can’t wait to see what people think!”

In The 2nd Floor, players encounter new creatures in typical Dark Pals fashion, continue the journey with their companion Inky the squid plush gun, and have to survive the devourer to find a way towards the 3rd Floor.

Meanwhile, check out Harrison’s review of Dark Pals: The 1st Floor for a refresher while you wait.

Part mystery, part exploration-driven horror, and intentionally full of riddles rather than telling players where they should go next, Dreadline Express puts you aboard the last remnant of a now-collapsed civilisation – a steam train populated by a handful of ominous survivors.

Inside every carriage hides another piece of the puzzle. Each passenger has their own story, their own motives and, perhaps, something they would rather keep hidden, buried deep down in their psyche. Some doors upon this train, it appears, may be better left closed.

“Dreadline Express is about giving players the freedom to be curious,” explains developer David Konecny. “I wanted to make a horror game where making it through comes from paying attention, making connections, and understanding the people and places around you, rather than simply following a trail of objectives. It’s strange, unsettling, and sometimes deliberately obtuse, and I’m incredibly excited that people will finally be able to board the train on October 16th.”

At the centre of it all is the game’s card-based narrative system. Discoveries, encounters and achievements become cards stored within an evolving album, allowing players to uncover connections, formulate new plans and open paths that previously appeared impossible. The more you understand about the train, its passengers and the world outside, the more options you have for deciding what happens next.

Inspired by SCP-3008 and The Backrooms, Storebound sees 1-3 players trapped in an endless store. By day, lights flicker across deserted halls, inviting exploration. By night, employees roam the aisles looking to “assist” you. Silence, teamwork, and quick thinking are your only tools for survival.

Across a 6-episode campaign lasting 5 to 7 hours, squads must explore different eras across the store’s sprawling departments, solve twisted logic puzzles, and evade horrific “employees” who stalk the aisles for shoppers needing “after-hours assistance.”

Plan your next move using proximity voice chat and walkie-talkies. Piece together environmental clues and decode cryptic notes to find your next destination. Split up and look for whatever may help you escape. Along the way, search the mall for tools and items. But be wary of the employees. Do you cling to the shadows, letting madness creep in, or stay in the light where they’re already watching you?

The collaboration brings new content designed to blend elements from both universes. This limited-time event introduces:

• Two new gameplay events, including a massive community challenge against Malebolgia and a Hellspawn-inspired dungeon encounter.
• Spawn-themed cosmetics and rewards that transform the look and feel of your hero.
• Necroplasm-fueled power fantasies, brutal enemies, and supernatural challenges pulled directly from Spawn’s universe.

Adventurers participating in the Hellspawn’s Vengeance event can complete weekly tasks and participate in additional activities to earn Vengeance Marks. As your progress builds, you’ll unlock a host of rewards, including a Spawn-inspired weapon appearance, exclusive collaboration emotes, a collaboration avatar frame, the Necroplasmic Totem Legendary Gem, Legendary Crests, as well as valuable Legendary and Set Items.

Also available is a special Spawn-themed Survivors Bane challenge. During the event, adventurers will wield Spawn-inspired powers drawn from the depths of Hell itself. Unleash vicious chains, command a living cloak, and harness necroplasmic energy to carve a path through endless demonic hordes.

As the trial unfolds, a descent into Hell awaits. Those who survive will be dragged into a fiery confrontation against a powerful foe before returning to the battlefield empowered by the spoils of victory.

You can find out more info on the crossover, including the rewards, by checking out the blog post.

Players step into the role of Dr Alexander “Alexie” Kolchak, a Foundation researcher and one of the few survivors of Site-63. Trapped within the aftermath of the disaster, Alexie must investigate what happened, evade threats he cannot overpower, and begin a dangerous journey toward Site-19.

The SCP: Project Pneuma demo introduces the game’s combination of psychological horror, exploration, stealth, environmental puzzles, and narrative discovery. Every location holds evidence of the events that unfolded before containment failed. Journals, voice recordings, abandoned equipment, and environmental details reveal fragments of a larger mystery, but exploring those fragments carries its own risks. Resources are scarce, direct confrontation is rarely an option, and every anomaly follows its own rules. Survival depends on watching carefully, understanding the threat, and knowing when to hide or escape.

As Alexie moves deeper into the ruins, hallucinations begin to alter familiar surroundings and undermine his perception. Doors may lead somewhere unexpected. Environments may change without warning. Even apparent safety cannot be trusted.

Of course, you’ll need to replace body parts with similar-looking items in order to not raise suspicion from grieving families. A basketball makes for a perfect replacement for a head, for example. Just don’t forget the photo to tape to the ball.

Word about the funeral home is getting around, and more families are showing up every day. More bodies through the door means more money and better upgrades for the business, but it also means more funerals running at once, more chances to slip up, and a Grandma who’s only getting hungrier. When the day ends, everyone gathers in the basement for family dinner, and Grandma gets to eat what you’ve gathered for her. Fall short on her order, and someone else will end up on the menu.

Ahead of release, the devteam plans on holding a playtest for Grave Mistakes, which you can currently sign up for when the build is ready.

Now through October 4th at 6:00 PM PDT, players can explore the factory’s decaying halls from a critter’s eye view as they begin to untangle the web of mystery surrounding their mission: scavenge resources, haul materials, and survive whatever lurks in the shadows as you work toward building…something.

Celebrating the Open Beta going live, Mob Entertainment has released a new teaser trailer for the game, this time calling back to the very first Smiling Critters introduction, and further hinting at what awaits players when they dive into this new adventure.

Played solo or with up to four players, each run in Escape From Playtime sends teams into a dynamically changing section of the facility to find and transport resources for a mysterious Voice. The materials are needed to help build a promised home for toys who prove their loyalty and usefulness. Simple enough, except the factory is filled with rejected Playtime Co. creations stalking the halls. Players must search quickly, choose when to split up or stick together, and know when to retreat.

Along the way, players can solve puzzles, uncover clues, scavenge tools, use hiding spots and alternate routes, and turn the factory layout to their advantage. Proximity voice chat adds another risk: communication is essential, but an irresponsible whisper can bring the mission to a brutal end.

As you complete runs, Escape From Playtime reveals a deeper connection to the larger Poppy Playtime story. The Voice promises freedom and a home, but its motives remain unclear. Every resource gathered feeds into something bigger. You are helping build something, but what, and why?

Players can join the Open Beta now at FirstLook.gg.
