Infliction Haunts Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One in Q4 2019

SYDNEY, NSW – 24 July, 2019 – Infliction, the psychological horror game from Caustic Reality and Blowfish Studios that explores the darkness haunting the remnants of a suburban family, unleashes nightmares upon Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in Q4 2019.

Wander through an interactive nightmare set within the confines of a once-happy household. Piece together the mystery behind a harrowing series of events while struggling to survive encounters with an entity that relentlessly stands in the way of finding absolution.

Explore a home crystallized by tragedy and uncover the heartbreaking secrets hidden within messages, artwork, household objects, and other vestiges of domestic life. Uncover clues and use items to unlock new paths and make discoveries while doing everything possible to avoid the malevolent presence inhabiting the residence. Hide under tables or beneath beds and harness light sources like camera flashes to stun the spirit and momentarily elude its pursuit.

Infliction couples a story-driven approach to horror with a dynamic atmosphere to produce an unsettling and unpredictable first-person experience that deals in mature subject matter. Imbuing familiar elements of everyday life with the supernatural, developer Caustic Reality delivers a terrifying otherworldly adventure that hits frighteningly close to home.

“Infliction explores fears that manifested after my wife and I started a family,” said Clinton McCleary, Caustic Reality founder and Mission Designer at Blowfish Studios. “I set out to create a horror experience grounded in real-world problems that resonates with players and am looking forward to scaring everyone when we unleash it on consoles later this year.”

Infliction will be available via the Nintendo Switch eShop, PlayStation Store, and Microsoft Store for $19.99, €17.99, £15.99, and $24.99 AUD. It features support for English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese language options. Blowfish Studios will showcase the game at PAX West 2019 alongside other titles from the publisher’s catalogue.

Omega Labyrinth Life and Labyrinth Life Release in the West August 1

In something of a surprise, but still quite pleasant, move D3 Publisher has announced that not only will Omega Labyrinth Life and Labyrinth Life be released in Asia and Japan on August 1st but it will also be releasing in all other regions on that same day. While the Western version of these two games will only be available digitally compared to their retail and digital counterparts in Japan and Asia, this comes as a surprise given how the series has been treated in the past.

Now it is interesting to note that there are some notable differences between these two games despite the fact that the story, setting, and most gameplay features remain the same. Both games are roguelikes set at Belles Fleurs Academy. The school is supposed to have a garden that will always be in bloom. However, when Hinata transfers to the school, she finds that all of the flowers have died. She must go dungeon-crawling with her classmates to restore the garden. Two characters can go into a dungeon at a time, a leader and a supporter.

While these elements remain the same it is worth noting that the Switch game, Omega Labyrinth Life, features uncensored hot spring segments, the ability to take part in “touch events” and armor break illustrations for the heroines in the game while the PlayStation 4 Labyrinth Life has removed these features to fit with Sony’s censorship policies.

Home Sweet Home Episode II Coming to PC this Year

Back in 2017 a rather unique horror game was released on PC by YGGdrazil Group and then last year it was released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One by Mastiff Games. This horror game was Home Sweet Home and thanks to its thai based horror, it offered a unique style of scare but left things a bit open ended and now we have a good reason for that. The YGGdrazil Group has announced that Home Sweet Home Episode II will be releasing on PC sometime in 2019 and while no console release has been announced at this time, perhaps the story will continue there as well.

Home Sweet Home Episode II follows Tim, a simple man in search of his missing wife. At the conclusion of the first game, Tim found himself with few answers other than that her disappearance held a far more sinister and evil purpose and had affected others, who similarly went missing without a trace. Awakening in a dark and mysterious forest, Tim begins his search anew, unaware of the dangers that lie before him.

Deeply inspired by both Thai culture and folklore, Home Sweet Home Episode II oozes horror around every corner and within every shadow. Pursued relentlessly by a deadly and otherworldly Thai Dancer, Tim must race against the clock and through deadly enemies in his quest for information. Mind bending puzzles hide clues to his progression as well as a series first—combat. Armed with an arsenal of weapons, Tim can approach every enemy encounter using stealth, brute force, or a combination of both. Yet unlike in the first Home Sweet Home, multiple enemies will pursue Tim at the same time, turning every encounter into a battle between life and death.

Swap and upgrade your feline friends to blast homey hauntings with magical spells, investigate randomly generated biomes to progress through multiple unique areas of the mansion, and uncover the spooky intentions behind your Grandma’s kidnapping and the parade of perilous poltergeists who stand in your way.

Two Point Hospital Coming to Consoles in Late 2019

Just like how its inspiration started as a PC game before coming to the PlayStation it looks like Two Point Hospital will now be heading to consoles as Two Point Studios and Sega have announced that the game will be heading to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch later this year where it will be available both physically and digitally.

While the PC version is priced at $35 the console release will likely be a bit higher as the company announced that the console versions of the game will include not only the base game but also the “Bigfoot” and “Pebberly Island” expansion packs and they are planning a number of free updates in the future.

For those who have yet to try out the game, players will build up a hospital from scratch all while optimizing your hospital design to increase patient (and cash) flow, arranging corridors, rooms and waiting areas to your exact specifications. Expand your hospital to multiple buildings as you look to get as many patients through the door as possible.

John Wick Hex Video focuses on “Gun-Fu”

You may remember that back in May a game based around the John Wick franchise was announced for release in the future by the name of John Wick Hex and now Good Shepherd Entertainment and Bithell Games have released a featurette video that focuses on the “Gun Fu” aspect of the series and how the team worked with a number of stunt men that appeared in the movie in an attempt to capture its essence in the game.

Seeing firsthand how John Wick analyzes a situation and executes a full-force solution with whatever he has available was key to translating the films into a fast-paced, action-oriented strategy experience that lets players become the legendary hitman himself. You can check out the video below and keep an eye out for the game when it is released in the future for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
