Stray Souls Unveils The History & Legacy of Aspen Falls

Independent game studio Jukai Studio and Versus Evil, one of the leading independent video game publishers, have today revealed an all new blog post digging into the lore of their upcoming mystery-driven psychological horror game Stray Souls ahead of its launch this Fall on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox Series consoles.

This entry, Unveiling the Shadows: The History & Legacy of Aspen Falls, dives into the shadowy history of the small midwestern town of Aspen Falls. Taken from remnants of an antique diary, this post offers insight into the secretive religious sect, the Society of Unified Silence, its clandestine “Inner Circle”, and the strange prophecy that governed its denizens’ ways.

More about Stray Souls:
Dive into the mind of Daniel, a teenage boy who inherits a home from his estranged grandmother. As he moves in, Daniel meets the enigmatic Martha who knows more about the house than he would expect. As night falls, dark secrets hiding within the dwelling and Daniel’s past come out of the woodworks – secrets Daniel cannot seem to outrun…

Stray Souls combines beloved elements of Japanese survival horror games with an array of new tricks, including a variety of randomized systems where enemy encounters, item placement, paranormal activity and even weather patterns are always changing so no two playthroughs are exactly the same. Using the power of Metahuman technology and Unreal Engine 5, characters and environments are authentically brought to life, throwing you straight into the dread and dismay of the narrative.

Stray Souls will launch this fall on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox Series consoles.

Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie Official Trailer

Apple TV+ today released the trailer for the all-new, highly anticipated Peanuts special “Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie,” premiering globally on Friday, August 18.

Sometimes the people who make the biggest difference, aren’t the ones who grab the spotlight. In “Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie,” we get to see first-hand how our lovable introvert, Marcie, makes a monumental difference from behind the scenes both for her friends and her community. To train for the school golf championship, Marcie assists Peppermint Patty as her caddie, offering thoughtful and deliberate advice to help her win. Meanwhile, after coming up with brilliant solutions to her classmates’ problems – from hallway traffic jams to lunchtime pizza shortages – Marcie is unexpectedly elected as class president…a role she never wanted. Suddenly thrust into the spotlight, Marcie struggles to cope with the expectations of her new job and retreats as far from the public eye as possible. As the golf championship begins, Marcie is still in hiding and Peppermint Patty is forced to tee off with Charlie Brown filling in as her caddie. But after some wise advice and a little introspection, Marcie realizes she can still make a difference for her friends and the school – she’ll just have to buck other people’s expectations and do it her own unique way.

Produced for Apple TV+ by Peanuts and WildBrain, the special is directed by Emmy Award winner Raymond S. Persi (“The Simpsons,” “Wreck-It-Ralph”), written by Betsy Walters (“The Snoopy Show,” “Snoopy in Space”), and executive produced by Craig Schulz, Bryan Schulz, Cornelius Uliano, Paige Braddock, Josh Scherba, Stephanie Betts and Logan McPherson.

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed DLC #3 Out Today

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, a 4v1 hunt or haunt action-packed video game from the asymmetrical multiplayer experts at IllFonic, is set to release the game’s third DLC on August 1, 2023. This FREE DLC accompanies a previous base game purchase, which is rated E10+ and available on PC/Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One for $19.99. You read that correctly, starting August 1, 2023, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed digital versions will drop to the scary good price of $19.99.

DLC #3 is loaded with exciting content. The new map will be beloved by live music fans and clubgoers alike. The map contains a delightful blend of open areas, minor verticality, and connecting hallways. Who knows what’s lurking behind each turn… could it be our new Ghost type – the Watcher, a grotesque and elusive little creature. Look closely and Ghostbusters fans might just recognize the “Bug-Eyed” ghosts that are well known from the franchise. Not to mention, there are cool new threads and some great quality of life updates. See below for the details.

DLC Highlights:

– New Map – The New Motion Club – The New Motion Club is a pillar of the New York underground music scene. From Baxter Hills to Trance Ratton, countless now well-known alternative acts have gotten their start here. After a change in ownership, the venue was expanded to include a two-thousand square foot street level dance hall with the original basement stage reimagined as a comedy club. More space led to bigger bands, with many considering the New Motion Club to be a necessary stop on an artist’s path to stardom. What new ownership didn’t account for though, was a recent spike in paranormal activity. Are these ghostly parasites drawn to the energy of such a vibrant place, or are they just fans of “the scene” like everyone else? Either way, it’s bad for business, but good for busting.

– New Ghost Type – Watcher – Our studies have unequivocally concluded that this ghost type is a particularly grotesque and elusive little creature. It’s safe to assume that before you ever notice a Watcher, it’s certainly already noticed you, courtesy of its giant external eye attached via a disgusting semi-corporeal tendon. A Watcher is known for sending its occult oculus hurtling toward intended scare targets and then either recoiling it back to its socket OR pulling its torso to the eye itself, phasing through anything that stands between them. So yes, it’s a quite hideous sight all around.

– New Buster Cosmetics – Including Ghostbusters (2016) film Cosmetics and Gear Shells!

– Numerous Quality of Life updates to improve player’s gameplay experiences.
