2019’s The Sinking City was a solid entry in the growing catalogue of Lovecraft-inspired horror and adventure games, which later became better-known for the bitter legal battle over the game between developer Frogwares and publisher Nacon. Frogwares was ultimately successful in that battle, and today during the latest Xbox Partner Preview showcase, they announced The Sinking City 2 is on the way.
TerrorBytes: Horror Game Docuseries Adds Eternal Darkness, Immortality, and Rule of Rose Creators to Cast

Horror game documentary series adds three more prominent names in video game horror to its cast.
The five-part docuseries will chart the 40+ year history of horror video games from their humble beginnings to hot controversy and mainstream appeal. It’s already set to feature a bevy of big names from the genre, but has stacked that deck even higher with its latest additions.
First up is Dennis Dyack, director of the cult favorite GameCube psychological horror game Eternal Darkness and Gothic vampire action RPG Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.
Next is Sam Barlow, a writer and designer on both Silent HillL Origins and Shattered Memories, who has since found critical acclaim for cross-media titles such as Her Story and the superb Immortality.
Last but not least, is the man behind cult classic survival horror Rule of Rose, Yoshiro Kimura. Rule of Rose is still one of the most fascinating, yet unfortunate, stories in horror gaming history as false controversy whipped up against it by mainstream media saw it banned in both the UK and Australia.
Other confirmed names in this stacked TerrorBytes roster include Roberta Williams (Phantasmagoria), Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill composer), Hifumi Kouno (Clock Tower), Hubert Chardot (Alone in the Dark), Thomas Grip (SOMA, Amnesia, Penumbra), Mary Kenney (The Walking Dead: The Final Season), Mathieu Coté (Dead By Daylight), Jeremy Blaustein (Silent Hill 2-4), Ben Leffler (Exmortis), and Abby and Tony Howard (Slay The Princess).
TerrorBytes is currently in a pre-sales campaign to help cover production costs. Available tiers include digital and physical editions and a range of exclusive limited-run physical merchandise. Supporters will also gain access to 15+ hours of exclusive live events over the next year, ahead of the documentary’s release in March/April 2025.

There's a new Paranormal Activity horror game in the works from the creator of The Mortuary Assistant
DarkStone Digital, solo developer of The Mortary Assistant, is making a new horror game based on Paramount's Paranormal Activity films. Titled Paranormal Activity: Found Footage, it's being published by DreadXP and features some kind of reactive haunt system, with scares dialling up and down based on your actions. DreadXP have shared a teaser consisting of some crackly logos against a backdrop of radio chatter. Given that this is a Paranormal Activity adaptation, it's possible the trailer harbours spooky secrets. You may wish to experiment with turning the brightness up and down, playing the video backwards, or watching it again at the next full moon, perhaps while standing in a cemetery loudly declaring that ghosts aren't real.
