Unreality Seeps into Real Life: First-Person Horror oneway.exe Launches Oct. 7

0

A love letter to internet horror

THE INTERNET – September 18, 2025 – oneway.exe, a first-person single-player horror puzzle game where the darkest corners of the Internet become reality from Disordered Media, launches the first chapter of multiple new realities on Tuesday, Oct. 7, for PC/Mac via Steam.

Stuck inside an unfinished game created by three developers whose lives took a tragic turn, explore the haunted halls of UNTITLED.EXE to discover digital horrors underlying reality itself. Meet an ensemble cast of eight memorable characters inspired by scary internet stories as they claw into real life from digital realms beyond comprehension.

Navigate a virtual environment that simulates a full operating system, allowing interaction with applications and files just like any old, real-life computer. Explore fully realized 3D environments full of grim implications for future chapters. Fall down rabbit holes and chase the truth to come face to face with your own past — and the horrors that brought you here.

Now, what’s that sound from underneath the door? Could be a router, or a table saw, or…Spiderface. Maybe it’s Mikey’s radioactive airwaves trying to spread the rockstar’s dominion over the real world? Or, perhaps, the whispered dregs of Ophelia’s suffocating revelations uttered through a gurgling throat? Let’s hope so, for the horror of what else awaits is immeasurable.

Submerge into suffocating spheres of otherworldly influence, sleuth around environmental clues, and dig through the sentimental sediment of 7 different paths before reality becomes replaced. Find more than one way to escape from the deranged characters haunting the program’s digital halls to the tunes of an original soundtrack composed by Marcy Nabors (DELTARUNE).

“Our game is more inspired by internet culture than ‘games’ as a medium,” said Bugs Ray, Co-Founder at Disordered Media. “Being online at a young age, we wanted to make a game that pays homage to various eras of culture,” said Spider Ray, Co-Founder. “Flash animations, online forums, kids’ websites, horror videos, creepypastas — we want others to experience the feeling these sub-cultures provided, but in a new interactive way.”

oneway.exe gains sentience as the first chapter launches on PC/Mac via Steam on Tuesday, Oct. 7. For more information, visit the Disordered Media website, join the official Discord, check out the oneway.exe ARG (if you dare), and follow @disorderedgames on X/Twitter.

About Disordered Media

3D Realms’ Retro Horror-Shooter CULTIC Launches “Chapter Two” Expansion DLC Today

0

CULTIC: Chapter Two is now available on Steam, accompanied by the “2.0 Update,” bringing numerous improvements, fixes and optimizations to all players

KANSAS Sept. 18, 2025 – The Overwhelmingly Positive-rated retro horror-shooter CULTIC, developed by Jasozz Games and published by Saber Interactive’s 3D Realms label, has today launched its Chapter Two story expansion DLC, available now on Steam for $9.99 USD / €9.75 EUR / £8.50 GBP!

Awakening in the cold, dark morgue beneath the besieged police station, you find yourself in the middle of a cult-controlled New Grandewel, with corpses littering the streets, flames billowing from the windows of torched buildings, and cultists infesting every inch of the city you once protected. Fight your way through all-new maps in Chapter Two – a full expansion campaign boasting larger, more detailed maps, new weapons and enemies, and more secrets and surprises to discover.

Chapter Two continues and concludes the story from Chapter One, and players can expect more of CULTIC’s intense, gritty, open-ended combat, enhanced with new mechanics and refinements. CULTIC’s signature weapon arsenal returns, with the inclusion of Interlude’s Revolver and SASG, which players can freely alternate with the lever-action and sawed-off. The revamped Dodge system, along with the new Tackle mechanic, allows players to get up close and play aggressively, quickly zipping out of harm’s way or using that burst of speed to slam into enemies, stunning them and interrupting their attacks for some much-needed breathing room to reload and strike back.

Players can also utilize new “temporary weapons” such as the mounted machinegun or bazooka to dish out massive damage, adding to the roster of ways the player can weaponize the environment against their foes. Tower Shields have also received a significant overhaul, allowing them to be carried around the map much more easily, planted in the ground for temporary cover, used to run-and-gun with one-handed weapons, or launched into an enemy’s face with a well-timed kick or tackle.

To give players even more ways to enjoy these combat enhancements, Chapter Two includes three new Survival Maps, as well, featuring some of the best arenas from the new chapter to test your skills and fight against waves of enemies, including the new additions to the cult’s roster!

On top of these gameplay improvements, the game has received a significant amount of optimizations which not only allow for even larger, more densely populated maps with more detailed lighting, but also improve performance for existing maps, as well. These adjustments are all retroactive to Chapter One, as the “2.0 Update” is now also available, allowing all CULTIC players to enjoy these optimizations and gameplay updates even if they haven’t picked up the DLC yet. Chapter One has also received a full polishing pass, as well as an overhaul of some of the visuals and decor on the maps.

To keep up with the latest development updates for CULTIC, follow Jasozz Games on X/Twitter.
