Interactive Pulp Fiction Bahnsen Knights Steers onto PC, PlayStation, and Xbox Consoles Today

Infiltrate a religious cult living under the doctrine of “What if hell lays not below us…but above?”

VANCOUVER, Canada — Dec. 14, 2023 – Bahnsen Knights, the third visual novel in a series inspired by early 20th century pulp fiction and ‘80s home computer graphics, highlights the horror of man today on PC and Mac via Steam & GOG. The apocalypse arrives on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5|4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One on Thursday, Jan. 18, 2024.

The religious cult known as the Bahnsen Knights reigns terror on the highways as biblical storms rain havoc on the population. Their leader, a former car salesman named Toni, preaches hell is not below us, but above, as he leads the Ford Sierra-driving cultists across the country, performing “route exorcisms” along the way. 

Infiltrate this cult as Boulder, an undercover agent attempting to dismantle them from within while hunting the whereabouts of his missing partner, Cupra. Establish trust with cult members to navigate hostile waters without arousing suspicion. Reveal their intentions as a cryptic collective and undermine their achievements via minigames, puzzles, and choice-based, branching storylines that can lead Boulder to the solution…and a number of grisly demises.

Bahnsen Knights serves as a standalone story in the Pixel Pulps anthology, a series of interactive fiction tales inspired by early 20th century pulp fiction with its over-the-top tales, and art paying homage to 1980s home computer graphics. Jump into the series for the first time and enjoy a brisk, 2-hour tale full of chills and thrills, while fans of Mothmen 1966 and Varney Lake can reunite with paranormal investigator Lou Hill…and find out why he’s locked in the trunk of a car.

Bahnsen Knights is utterly human in a shared universe with cryptids and vampires,” said Shintaro Kanaoya, founder and CEO of Chorus Worldwide, “And it’s all the more grim for it. LCB really explores the malleability of the human psyche here, and how the potential horrors mankind can unleash unto itself can install a special kind of terror than no mythical creature could conjure.”

Bahnsen Knights launches today on PC and Mac via Steam and GOG for $9.99 / €8.99 / £8.49 with support for English, Spanish, German, French, and Japanese languages. The Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5|4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One versions arrive on Thursday, Jan. 18, 2024. Pick up Bahnsen Knights at a 10% launch discount, with additional discounts as part of the Pixel Pulps bundle available on digital storefronts.

SNIP SNIP – HAND DRAWN REVENGE MASSACRE COOKIE CUTTER OUT NOW

SEASON’S BEATINGS! CHAINSAW REVENGE RAMPAGE COOKIE CUTTER BRINGS MUTILATION TO THE MASSES ACROSS PS5, XBOX SERIES X / S AND PC TODAY

Deck The Halls With Buckets of Blood In High-Adrenaline Metroidvania Slaughterfest Staring An Angry Android Bitch Who’s Definitely Not On Santa’s Nice List – Download Today For 20% Off During Launch Week

LOS ANGELES – DECEMBER 14, 2023 – Homicide for the holidays! Deranged developer Subcult Joint LTD and those raunchy renegades at Rogue Games have announced that jolly and naughty post-punk action-adventure Cookie Cutter has revved up its chainsaw and plowed it through PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X / S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store today. Shove a metallic android fist straight up the poop chutes of traditional Metroidvanias with electrifying guitar slides, motorcycle manglings, and lots and lots of big girl panty flashing. Download the game during its launch week for 20% off.

Watch plenty of jingle balls get rocked in Cookie Cutter’s launch trailer: 

Cookie Cutter is set against the backdrop of the Megastructure, a huge, dystopian planet ruled by INFONET, a mega-corporation led by the deranged Garbanzos family. Centuries ago, INFONET promised a utopia built on the backs of androids called Denzels. That was a lie. Over the course of 200 years, the corp has drilled into the Megastructure in pursuit of a fraction of its energy source called the Red Seed, which is used to further power its precious Golden City.

As INFONET continues its tradition of screwing the planet over, one of its engineers, Doctor Shinji Fallon, uses the Denzel program to create Cherry as a companion. But Cherry isn’t like the other Denzels. She and Shinji quickly fall in love.

The romance doesn’t last long. After the current INFONET leader, Salem Garbanzos, accuses Shinji of stealing the Red Seed, he kidnaps the engineer and orders his literal Dickhead minions to clobber Cherry to pieces.

Some time later, a renegade scientist and mechanic named Raz discovers what’s left of Cherry and revives her. The android sets out to enact her sweet, blood-soaked revenge. It’s a Christmas tale for the ages!

Scream “Fa-la-la-la-la–la-la-la-DIE!” as Cherry brutalizes grotesque bugs, menacing robots, and gargantuan bosses with an array of ridiculous weapons, special moves, and beautifully gory finishers. Kick, punch, and uppercut across 10 huge zones, each one stranger than the last.

Drool over meticulously crafted 2D hand-drawn visuals that look better than Chris Hemsworth underneath a mistletoe. Cookie Cutter is a diabolical concoction of Japanese manga, Quentin Tarantino films, and H.P. Lovecraft that every Christmas party needs. Just make sure grandma’s had her eggnog first.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, down there, hold up! You’re saying I’m good to go?” Cherry asks Regina, her AI sidekick (who could also be a vagina).

“Stress testing is complete and I’m happy to report that your core structure is powered up and firing on all cylinders,” replies the character. “Cookie Cutter is fully active!”

“Rogue was raised on games like Metroid and Cookie Cutter delivers a bold new take on the subgenre with an incredibly irreverent storyline and characters, not to mention buckets of over-the-top gore,” said company CEO Matt Casamassina. “But the game has the gameplay chops and depth to back up the eye-catching hand-drawn 2D visuals, too, and we think when it’s all said and done Cookie Cutter is one of the best Metroidvanias to hit platforms in years.”

Cookie Cutter is available now across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X / S, and PC via Steam and Epic Game Store. Give us Christmas money today for 20% off during launch week.
