Gazing down from a rickety platform, about 7 or 8 stories high, our field of vision is restricted by a thick fog embankment. All that we can really make out in these obfuscating weather conditions is the surrounding treeline and a few nearby sheds that offer very little in the way of protection. To make […]

Even the greatest movies can take a while to successfully connect with their intended audience. A lot of films that we now consider to be above reproach were initially written off by contemporary viewers. Some were purposefully made to challenge, alienate, and provoke (like your Blade Runners or your Fight Clubs), but just as many […]

Evolving from humble beginnings — which can be traced back to an unassuming internet discussion board, circa 2007— The SCP Foundation has really come a long way over the past 15 years. And it’s earned itself quite the fan base as a result. It’s not difficult to see why a tantalizing concept like this one […]

With all the things that can feasibly go wrong, the promising ideas that are heartbreakingly jettisoned (for either time or budgetary reasons), and the stresses that come with meeting a looming deadline, it’s extraordinary that anybody manages to get a video game released. Irrespective of how well the end result turns out; you have to […]
The post ‘The Mortuary Assistant’ Review – Narratively Involving, Mechanically Inventive, and Technically Flawed appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.
“The amount of people who want to be morticians, or have some kind of interest in embalming, is alarmingly high!” Brian Clarke (aka DarkStone Digital) discovered just how common it is to have this ghoulish fascination with death, when he released his initial prototype for The Mortuary Assistant back in 2020. Serving as a 10-minute […]

In theory, you shouldn’t feel under any pressure to make wise decisions during an interactive movie like The Quarry or Until Dawn. There’s not really meant to be an optimal ending that you’re aiming for, nor should there be any “right” or “wrong” paths that you can tread down. Instead, the idea is that — […]

For gore hounds and connoisseurs of shlock alike, 2015’s Until Dawn was an unexpected treat. The appeal was quite ingenious yet simple. Supermassive Games thrusted you into an achingly familiar horror scenario, in which a bunch of hormonal teenagers (each snuggly fitting into the most stereotypical of stereotypes) were left stranded in a remote location […]

Hard as it is to believe, Dead by Daylight is approaching its sixth birthday. Although you might still think of Behaviour Interactive’s sensation as a relative spring chicken, we’ve had a whole console generation, three different United States presidents, and approximately a dozen real-world apocalypses since it debuted back in July 2016. At this point, […]

Ever since Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro’s Silent Hills project was unceremoniously scuppered — an event that unbelievably happened 7 years ago now — there have been a lot of imitators trying to fill the void that it left behind. More specifically, there have been countless attempts at replicating the nightmarish atmosphere and illogical […]

Martha Is Dead is exceedingly difficult to review because it gets so much right, up until the moment it doesn’t. Everything about this psychological thriller from The Town of Light developer LKA is deeply challenging. To clarify, that’s not meant in the sense of its literal difficulty curve (as far as I can tell there […]

When it comes to big-screen adaptations of his literary works, Clive Barker has an inconsistent track record to say the least. The Midnight Meat Train is a pretty decent stab at representing the first story from his celebrated anthology, The Books of Blood. Whenever the Liverpudlian author has had a direct hand in shaping a […]
