RailGods of Hysterra or Horror on the Orient Express? Either Way, the Latter Has Not Become A Videogame Yet!

Are you daring enough to wait in order to explore and do battle with the Great Old Ones in Railgods of Hysterra?

No date has been set for RailGods of Hysterra, a cooperative base-building survival action videogame, but it’s safe to say it won’t be like Horror on the Orient Express! This role playing game published by Chaosium Inc., takes months to get through, but for the electronic version from Troglobytes Games, maybe the adventure can be finished over a weekend. And best of all, not all of the action will take place on board a train! Players will have to take to the streets to investigate the strange goings on.

This release from first-time publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment will be available for the PC via Steam and PlayStation 5.

From the Press Release:

Enter a ruined world of ghoulish horrors wrought by the Great Old Ones: ancient cosmic beings beyond human comprehension that took over the world. Survive procedurally generated nightmarish environments, face the wrath of eldritch abominations, and forge a bond with the RailGod – a roaming fortress composed of steel and flesh forged through arcane and obscure rituals.

Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable v1.0 Who’s Ready to Rumble?

The fight is back with Attack on Titan VR, and for users of the Metx/Oculus, they can face these giants head-on!

UNIVRS, Inc.

To say virtual reality is dead depends on which industry giants you ask. As for Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable, now in version 1.0, developers feel ready to unleash a version of this video game to the masses. With a frame rate issues corrected, added platforms to play in and now here as early access. Developers have added a few new features, and hope fans of the anime will check out this game on the Meta Quest. This first-person action-adventure VR platformer now has the final three chapters in this epic saga to play through. There’s also the newly added two-player Co-op mode, so friends can now work together to take down vicious Titans and save humanity.

This property is based on the manga/anime written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama. In this apocalyptic world, Eran Yeager, vows to terminate giants who are threatening to destroy the last vintages of humanity. They love eating humans, and that’s never good. This series ran in the Japanese magazine, Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine (from September 2009 to April 2021), and has since been adapted to anime, live-action, video games and novels featuring other heroes joining in the fight. This latest only adds to the experience by providing a first person perspective that hasn’t been done before.

From the Press Release:

Join the Scout Regiment as an aspiring recruit and ready for battle. Quickly manoeuvre across building tops with Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, and change directions mid-air to avoid towering threats. Topple titans, complete timed objectives, unlock powerful new gear, and protect humanity from extinction.

The Last Time I Saw You Isn’t Easy When A Tsunami Is Closing In

Let’s not forget about the Yokai this Halloween season, and while the scares are light in romantic adventure, The Last Time I Saw You will entertain for a fortnight before the ghosts are unleashed!

Moroboshi Artworks

The Last Time I Saw You is a visually beautiful video game that explores the supernatural side of Japan. Here, players must attempt to save a village from a natural disaster. This nicely designed side-scroller may be light on the RPG side, but I’m sure the choices made matter. I’m confident the goal is to avert another typhoon ready to assault this sea-side community!

Here, players are assuming the role of Ayami. He’s a very precocious boy who has certain tasks to do each day. But when a storm is slowly coming, Ayami must balance what he needs to do versus simply exploring. This helped me get familiar with where everything is, and that includes the friends and strangers this kid meets.

But when a mysterious older girl appears in this boy’s dreams, that can spell trouble. I thought she might be a crush at first. But as other details emerged during play, I suspect there’s more to her than meets the eye. Part of the game involves figuring out who she is, and why she saved him from attacking ghosts that look like Gastly from Pokémon. That’s how the game starts, and as for what other nasties are hiding in the forest, that’d be saying too much.

Halloween is Here with BAN: The Prologue of GUCHA GUCHA, The Videogame

Nostalgic Horror Adventure “BAN: The Prologue of GUCHA GUCHA” Haunts Steam on October 23, 2024! And for those who don’t get the pun, this one will ‘get ya’ (or that say gotcha?) hiding under the sheets!

Ban The Prologue of Gucha Gucha Fans of Japanese Horror will want to check out BAN: The Prologue of GUCHA GUCHA! This gore filled treat looks like it’s honouring more than the craziness that’s found in Haus, but I feel there’s a lot more going on in this third-person psychological horror adventure developed by IchimatsuSuzuka. Published by Kodansha Game Creators’ Lab, this creepy looking video game will become available on Steam (PC) just days before Halloween!

After a strange creature assaults and kidnaps college student Garasu Yuki’s beloved dog Chocolat, she has only one lead: a slithering entity beneath the ground. To reunite with Chocolat, Yuki ventures into the dark depths of Mt. Utaga as night falls. Unveil the quiet town’s horrifying history while avoiding the monstrosities along the road.

From the Press Release:

As the story unfolds, the protagonist shifts to a young boy carrying his little sister through endless, identical corridors. Dodge the lethal attacks of a blood-soaked pursuer wielding a Japanese sword while searching for an escape route. As the clock winds down, help the boy and his sister navigate a way out for even the slimmest chance at survival.
