Publisher CRITICAL REFLEX (Buckshot Roulette) and developer Wrong Organ (How Fish is Made) invite you to join the damned crew of The Tulpar when the sci-fi psychological horror game Mouthwashing launches on Steam on Sept. 26, 2024. The news was revealed in an all-new trailer debuted during IGN’s Gamescom coverage.

When the Pony Express’s interplanetary freighter Tulpar goes off course, its five crew members find themselves stranded with a diminishing supply of resources. As they face the threat of starvation and endure crippling isolation, the crew must fight back paranoia and hallucinations as they come to realize the question is not whether they will survive, but when they will perish… and who will be responsible.

Key Features

  • Inescapable Isolation: Explore claustrophobic corridors as time closes in on you.
  • Immersive Storytelling: Every detail tells a story. A keen eye is key.
  • An Unfolding Narrative: Uncover the truth about your captain, your crew, and your cargo.
  • Descend into Madness: Question everything, trust nothing. Not even your own mind.

Mouthwashing is part of a spine-tingling lineup of indie horror games under the CR Channel publishing label, which CRITICAL REFLEX announced last year. The collection includes Mike Klubnika’s viral hit Buckshot Roulette, free found-footage horror game TELEFORUM, and three upcoming titles: horror-sim Regular Home Renovation Simulator, horror fishing adventure Drowned Lake, and surreal hand-painted adventure Flawless Abbey.

THE WORLD’S GREATEST ROLEPLAYING GAME just keeps getting better. During the D&D Direct video presentation on YouTube today, the D&D Studio shared their excitement for all the amazing fantasy storytelling yet to come. DUNGEONS & DRAGONS fans who pre-ordered the digital 2024 Player’s Handbook and have a Master Tier subscription on D&D BEYOND can access the content on September 3rd before it releases everywhere on September 17th.

Fans can also head to their friendly local game store to grab a standard or alternate cover copy of the Player’s Handbook. Many stores are creating events to celebrate the release so fans can join the fun by playing D&D with all the local gamers.

“D&D isn’t just a game – it’s this amazing community that’s all about bringing fantasy and wonder to life, whether that’s in living rooms, backyards, or wherever folks want to play,” said Jess Lanzillo, Head of D&D Product and Franchise. “We’re super excited to be celebrating D&D’s big anniversary with the release of the new Player’s Handbook! Together with the community, we’ve built this new Player’s Handbook with a focus on what makes D&D so cool — bringing people together through the shared experience of adventure.”

Whether they are a veteran or just starting out on their adventure, D&D fans can make a new character using the new Cleric, Fighter, Rogue and Wizard classes with a D&D BEYOND account on September 3rd.

In addition to announcing early access to the Player’s Handbook on D&D BEYOND, the team was also super excited to share what they’re working on for 2025. Here’s a sneak peek:

  • Dragon Anthology (working title) scheduled for Summer 2025
    • Everything you need to know about dragons but were afraid to ask, plus ten short adventures that all feature dragons in dungeons!
  • Updated Starter Set (working title) scheduled for Fall 2025
    • Featuring unique components designed to introduce new players to D&D through an adventure inspired by “Keep on the Borderlands”
  • The Forgotten Realms Player Guide (working title) scheduled for Late 2025
    • New subclasses, feats, backgrounds, factions, and spells from D&D’s most popular setting
  • The Forgotten Realms Adventure Guide (working title) scheduled for Late 2025
    • A toolbox overflowing with lore and locations to inspire DMs to create endless Forgotten Realms campaigns for players to explore

Wizards is also continuing to develop an upcoming immersive 3D sandbox that empowers fans to build their own D&D experience using Unreal Engine 5. The digital miniatures in Project Sigil can be customized to meet each fan’s vision and the magic items their characters collect along their adventures, and crafty DMs can create infinite worlds and levels with easy-to-use tools and assets included in the builder.

“Sigil is designed to add options to the already rich experience the books and D&D BEYOND offer, supporting and extending your favorite ways to play rather than replacing what you love,” said Chris Cao, head of Project Sigil at Wizards. “Whether it’s lush 3D environments, titanic boss fights, or amazing customizations for your minis, Sigil is there to make it easy to connect online with friends, introduce new players to your game, and create your own worlds.”

The Project Sigil closed beta is available at no cost at DnDBeyond.com/project-sigil. All you need is a free or subscription tier D&D BEYOND account!

Geek News, Halloween, Movie News, News

Unquiet spirits have gathered once again: ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS: A COMPENDIUM OF FOLK HORROR VOLUME TWO brings together 24 films representing 18 countries for more of the best-loved, rarely seen, thought-lost and brand-new classics of folk horror, most making their disc debuts including the North American Disc Premieres of the Severin Films Original Productions TO FIRE YOU COME AT LAST directed by Sean Hogan and the documentary SUZZANNA: THE QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC directed by David Gregory, which will have its World Premiere at the Sitges Film Festival on October 12th. The set also features 55+ combined hours of new and archival Special Features including trailers, interviews, audio commentaries, short films, video essays, historical analyses and bonus feature-length films; a 252-page hardcover of newly commissioned folk horror fiction by luminaries that include Ramsey Campbell, Cassandra Khaw and Eden Royce with illustrations by Drazen Kozjan, and much more, all curated and produced by WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED creator Kier-La Janisse.

“The first ALL THE HAUNTS… was an incredibly ambitious set, but for this collection we wanted to go a bit further afield,” says producer Kier-La Janisse. “I’m really happy with the broad range of regions and perspectives we were able to include, and the many international collaborators who made it all possible. I always try to dig deep thematically while also offering some real obscurities for our genre-savvy audience, and I think this new box set delivers on both counts.”

“ALL THE HAUNTS… Volume One was a landmark collection for Severin, for the genre, and for home video,” says Severin Films President/Co-Founder David Gregory. “With Volume Two, Kier-La and our team have now gone even deeper and further than before with a global collection that’s equal parts discovery, exploration, and dark celebration of Folk Horror. We’re enormously proud to unleash its spirit upon the world.”

Assemble Entertainment is thrilled to announce that post-apocalyptic survival colony builder Endzone 2 has launched into Early Access on Steam. The highly anticipated post-apocalyptic survival colony builder challenges players to navigate a harsh, unforgiving world as they work to rebuild humanity from the ground up. Assemble Entertainment has plenty in store for the coming months following Endzone 2’s Early Access launch, offering new content, fixes, and quality of life improvements. Check out the launch trailer below!

Discover and repopulate the last habitable grounds, and manage the survival of your people by utilizing your wits, foresight, and resilience in a harsh and unforgiving world in Endzone 2. Explore the treacherous badlands to discover loot as you develop and expand your settlements amidst the chaos.

Assemble Entertainment plans on supporting Endzone 2 with various updates for the foreseeable future, starting with a patch rolling out in September. Players can look forward to advancements to settler simulation, bug fixes, stability improvements, and quality of life enhancements in the September update.
