‘Chained: A Victorian Nightmare’ Coming To VR

MWM Interactive is bringing the chills in time for the holidays with a haunting retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic Victorian ghost story, A Christmas Carol in the new VR experience ripped right from the pages, Chained: A Victorian Nightmare. Chained: A Victorian Nightmare is an interactive first-person where players can experience the long night of facing the past, present, and future through the eyes of Scrooge himself. The game itself is moody and atmospheric staying true to the original source material which is darker than what we were told as kids (cheeky Victorians). The game will be available later this month for the Oculus Rift, Steam, and HTC Vive for $5.99.

Airships And Reality TV: Game Review ‘Bow To Blood: Last Captain Standing’ Xbox One

What do you get when you cross reality TV and Airships? Well, the folks over at Tribetoy came up with a really good idea what it would be like in Bow to Blood: Last Captain Standing. The game came out in 2018 exclusively for PlayStation VR but because of its high acclaim it has been ported for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch and will come out April 3rd. The awesome folks at Tribetoy gave me to the opportunity to play the Xbox One version of the game and all I can say is hold onto your air-pirate hats! You take on the role of Freelancer, an airship captain who, along with your two crew members, has entered a reality show where you compete against other airship crews and be the last captain standing. Each level is an “episode” in which you can warp to a level and fight against drone ships while completing objectives depending on the

Ninja Theory Creates “Senua’s Scholarship” After Their Video Game Heroine

It’s no big secret; I love “Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice”, the dark fantasy video game by Ninja Theory struck a chord with many players as it deals with the sensitive subject of mental health, uniquely through the eyes of a young woman back in early human history during the time of Celts and Vikings. In order to make the symptoms of Senua’s psychosis authentic, Ninja Theory consulted with Mental Health experts as well as individuals who actually are going through treatment for the illness. Because of this delicate attention to detail, “Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice” to date has won 19 awards! Proceeds of the sale of the game went towards charities involving mental health but now Ninja Theory has taken it a step further, by creating a scholarship that will fund training for mental health tutors at the CPFT Recovery College East who played a big role in helping with research for the game, the scholarship is appropriately named “Senua’s Scholarship”.
