Award-winning Indie game developer Lexip Games is proud to unveil the first look and exclusive playable demo of their upcoming horror-adventure – Silence Channel – scheduled for official release early next year. Produced by the same talented team who previously introduced you to Dark Room, their upcoming game is a continuation to the series of creepy first-person point-and-click adventures.
Silence Channel is a game of exploration and terrifying surprises; you play as John Martin, an Investigative reporter sent to a remote location to check out rumors of unexplainable sightings. Convinced it is nothing more than local folklore and myth, you arrive an early morning in dense fog with the aim of taking a few photos, make a couple of interviews with the locals, and quietly depart to write up your local piece of gossip. Dare you enter the mysterious mansion?
Silence Channel offers a classic point-and-click adventure experience with clues to decipher, doors to unlock, puzzles to solve and mysteries to explain. Collect, combine and use items you discover to progress in the game, and carefully examine clues in the most unlikely of places. Your journal becomes a handy logbook of letters and clues, and walls throughout contain strange messages and riddles of importance. You are not alone, and it is only a matter of time before your luck runs out.
In a world where COVID-19 has all but canceled our most-favorite holiday, Knott’s Berry Farm emerges as a protector – a guardian, if you will. They have managed to not only celebrate the holiday but also do it safely with the Taste of Fall-O-Ween. The Taste of Fall-O-Ween is the latest in the parks’ tasting events, which are able to circumvent orders to keep theme parks closed by not having any of the rides powered up. It’s a brilliant strategy – one which I am shocked the park down the street, with the mouse, doesn’t do. But, I digress…
The Taste of Fall-O-Ween sees Knott’s Berry Farm fully decked-out for the spooky season. Not only that, but they have brought to the fore a plethora of Halloween-inspired food items for guests to try. With the $35 dollar purchase of a tasting card (that’s your actual ticket to the event now as they cannot sell regular theme park tickets anymore), you get 5 tastings. If you’re still hungry or thirsty after that, of course you can buy additional offerings.
Here is our full video review of the experience:
The food is great, as is the overall health safety level of the event. Everyone is wearing masks and the park is being extra careful with sanitizer stations throughout the park and distancing guidelines posted everywhere. The crowds were also very respectful of the health guidelines and at no time did I feel unsafe or in danger of catching creepy crawly germs.
The only thing that could have been better about the Taste of Fall-O-Ween is if they had a scary walk-through option for the adults in addition to the kid-friendly trick or treat trail experience. That way the adults in the crowd could get their Scary Farm itch scratched slightly. Overall, Knott’s Taste of Fall-O-Ween is an outstanding spooky season event and I can’t wait to check out the park’s Merry Farm-style offering, which should be up next!

The North Atlantic fishing season opens today as Misc Games launch realistic fishing simulator Fishing: North Atlantic with a 10% discount on Steam.
Step into the Captain’s chair and take on the high seas of the majestic waters off Nova Scotia in search of ocean gold through realistic weather conditions and atmospheric effects, using commercial fishing techniques such as harpooning and deep-line-buoy fishing to reel in massive Swordfish and Tuna or set crab pots and lobster traps. Choose from one of 25 hand-crafted fishing vessels and use modern technologies such as GPS and sonar to follow the movements of your prey, which are equipped with advanced fish-AI, making them realistically elusive and difficult to track. Fishing: North Atlantic utilizes AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro, providing highly accurate luminance and wide color gamut testing to enable an exceptional HDR visual gaming experience.
From understanding weather conditions and water temperature to navigating dynamic fish habitats, you’ll be tasked to meet your quotas and balance staffing and maintenance costs through volatile market price fluctuations that threaten at any moment to sink your whole operation!
“This is a big and exciting day for Misc Games, and we are very proud of the product that we are releasing in Fishing: North Atlantic,” said Yasemin Hamurcu from Misc Games. “We’ve built upon the successes from our first title Fishing: Barents Sea, which acquired quite a cult following and have implemented suggestions from the community to make this sequel the most realistic fishing simulator available.”
Following on the popularity of Misc Games’ first title Fishing: Barents Sea, Fishing: North Atlantic promises the thrill of professional commercial fishing without the real life dangers of high seas and storms, rain, wind or even seasickness! Fishing: North Atlantic is now available for a 10% launch discount for a total price of $34,99/£27,79/CAD39,99 until October 23. For players that already own Fishing: Barents Sea a further 10% discount will be implemented for Fishing: North Atlantic for a total launch savings of 20% off the game’s base price. Misc Games is looking forward to sharing this new adventure with you!
The most recent installment of the Cyberpunk 2077-focused online event started out with Rides of the Dark Future — an in-depth look at the variety of cars, bikes, and other means of transportation in Night City and beyond, including a sneak-peek at a very special ride belonging to the Cyberpunk legend.
Two behind-the-scenes videos followed. Revving Up Night City shows the development team recording audio for the vehicles of the game to help bring them fully to life. In Arch Motorcycle with Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger, both co-founders of the motorcycle company talk details about their collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED on Cyberpunk 2077.
2077 in Style, on the other hand, is all about the look, feel, and fashion of 2077’s most dangerous megalopolis, as well as that of its inhabitants — those famous, infamous, and everyone in-between.
The latest episode of Night City Wire also featured the reveal of an all new CGI teaser — The Diner — showing gamers what it takes to get to the top in the world of the dark future.
Last but not least, during the pre-show segment of the event, a video from the grand finale of the official Cyberpunk 2077 cosplay contest was aired, where finalists presented their creations and a winner was decided.
