Fat Dog Games Gearing Up For The Release Of Their Supernatural Game ‘Apparition’

Fat Dog Games has a new title on the way named ‘Apparition’. The teaser trailer has just arrived for the first-person survival horror game and it looks awesome. In the game, players are on a mission to document supernatural activity in the haunted forest of “Devil’s Tramping Ground” located in North Carolina. Players use a Ouija board to learn more about their mission throughout the game. Players will also have video cameras to document the spirits they stumble across. But ghosts aren’t the only things lurking around, demons are hiding in the shadows. And being set in the forest, there are animals to keep an eye out for as well. An exact release date has not been revealed but we do know that ‘Apparition’ will be out sometime in late 2018. There is no word what game systems it will be available for, but we’ll let know when we learn more. In the meantime, check out the teaser.

A ‘Walking Dead’ Game Fans Can Sink Their Teeth Into

Most gamers who are fans of AMC’s acclaimed hit series, ‘The Walking Dead’, are used to the popular Telltale Episodic game series by the same name but fans can rejoice getting the game they feel they deserve with a first-person co-op shooting game that’s being developed by Overkill, known for their hit first person shooting heist co-op series ‘Payday’. ‘Overkill’s The Walking Dead’ will offer players a chance to play as new characters and a new storyline which from what I can only assume takes place in Washington D.C. as the game’s tagline is “In 2018, Washington will fall. What will you do?” The game promises to stay true to the ‘Walking Dead’ comics and even has the creator Robert Kirkman on bored teaming up with Overkill and offering ‘Payday 2’. Fans have a chance to unlock their very own ‘Lucille’, the barbwire-wrapped baseball bat used by the notorious antagonist in both the comics and television series, Negan. The game

Martian Insanity In ‘Moons Of Madness’

Norwegian game developer Rock Pocket Games is sending gamers to Mars where Lovecraftian horrors await in ‘Moons of Madness’. The game is a first-person psychological horror story where players take on the role of astronaut Shane Newhart who encounters supernatural events at the first research station on the red planet. The game takes a twist on the insanity element of the game where developers came up with a “Zone-Out” mechanic where players see through Shane’s eyes a mix of Shane’s past, events that have not happened yet or things Shane should not know but now does. These Zone-Out events are to add to the anxiety of the game for players making them question what information they are getting from these unique hallucinations are real or not. Keeping with true Lovecraft elements, when humanity thinks it understands the universe it throws a horrific curveball, exploring the unknown without really being prepared for it, ‘Moons of Madness’ is set to be released

Survival Horror & WWI In ‘Ad Infinitum’

‘Ad Infinitum’ means again and again in the same way; forever. Kind of along the lines of the saying, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” That seems to be hinting at what’s going to happen to players when they play StrixLab’s upcoming survival horror game, ‘Ad Infinitum’. According to the StrixLap website, the game takes place in a trench during the First World War but there are horrific creatures stalking around in them. While playing in first person, you have to solve puzzles, avoid traps and of course, avoiding the creatures whiles the lines of insanity and the horrors of war become blurred. The game is set to be released for PC and possibly for Console, the release date is unknown at this time but after seeing the trailer, I hope it’s soon and does make it to console!

“Big meets bigger” in the first trailer for New Line Cinema’s Rampage starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Brad Peyton is in the director’s chair for the film where he reunites with Johnson who played the lead in his 2015 earthquake film San Andreas. In Rampage, the live adaption of Midway’s game by the same name, “Primatologist Davis Okoye (Johnson), a man who keeps people at a distance, shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry transforms this gentle ape into a raging monster. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered alpha predators. As these newly created monsters tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature

‘Friday The 13th’ Game Gets Expanded

So, by now hopefully everyone has heard of the ‘Friday The 13th’ game for PS4 and Xbox One. And…you have probably heard that, despite being a really cool idea for a game, it has more bugs than ‘Arachnophobia’. Fortunately, the developers are working hard to fix all of the issues while expanding the game. Just announced is a Part 4 map and a new version of Jason (with brand new kills…that’s really why you play the game anyway, isn’t it? There’s no shame in that.) Also, added to this map (and rumoured to be added to already existing maps) is a rain element that makes Chrystal Lake even more haunting. Hopefully they get this game figured out and keep adding new elements to it.
