"The Sweden-based Independent game developer Green Tile Digital are today very proud and happy to announce that their psychedelic rave horror game “Strobophagia: Rave Horror” is now available for PC via Steam." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
TSA writes: "My favourite gaming joke is the old Marcus Brigstocke one about how ludicrous the idea of behaviour being changed by gaming is: “If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.” This is now nostalgic in all sorts of ways considering I am far too old to go clubbing anymore, let alone the current closure of all such public gatherings. However, I do still remember the particular joy to be had from listening to ear-shattering techno in sweaty clubs, although beer rather than pills was always my choice. Combining this sensory overload with the trappings of horror seemed such a fantastic idea that I booted up Strobophagia with real excitement."
The game has some interesting idea like trying to find hotspot for different Wifi network, but it also creates a lot of back-and-forth situations that drag the experience.
Halloween is fast approaching. Here are a few of our recommendations for spooky games to freak you out on this frightful holiday.
It’s Halloween time at the Finger Guns Podcast so Rossko, Greg, Sean and Toby talk through the scariest games they’ve ever played. Amazingly, it’s pretty much all the exact same game. Can you guess what it is?
We also talk the future of the Intellivision Amico and the Atari VCS. Do they have enough about them to make a dent in a year with two brand new mainstream consoles and who are they really for? If you had Amish American families on your bingo card, you better get ready to shout.
Sean has also concocted a ghoulish Trivia Challenge sure to scare the bejeezus out of anyone brave enough to take on its quaking questions.
We also talk hands on with Hades, Amnesia Rebirth, Roki on Switch and Immortals Fenyx Rising.
