Lights out
Friday the 13th: The Game's murdering days are almost over (at least, in this incarnation), and as a way to send the game off, players are being given the keys to the grisly kingdom. On Twitter, the game's official account shared a list of changes that would be coming today, 6th July, via an update. These changes should allow players to...
News Friday the 13th: The Game Will Hang Up Its Hockey Mask As It's Axed from PS Store
Murder spree set to end
Friday the 13th: The Game's slaughtering days are numbered, with the news coming down that the licence for the game is set to expire on 31st December (a Sunday, sadly). The game will no longer be available for sale from that date onwards, either physically or digitally. The upside is that players that own the game or...
Review Layers of Fear 2 - Tame Scares Are a Slight Dampener on Impressive Sequel
Be my victim
Bloober Team is a studio that knows a thing or two about the spectrum of opinion. After launching its 2016 hit Layers of Fear, the Polish developer fell well wide of the mark a year later with its own version of cyberpunk. We didn’t take to Observer in the slightest, but fast-track two years and the team is returning to what put it on...
News Layers of Fear 2 Raises the Tension on PS4 in May
Release date announced
We first caught wind of a sequel to Bloober Team's Layers of Fear at the tail end of last year, with a teaser that shows an emphasis on filmmaking rather than oil paintings. Layers of Fear 2 looks to adopt a similar psychological horror vibe, with players this time exploring an ocean liner turned sinister. If you're looking...

You play as an actor shooting a movie aboard...
News Layers of Fear 2 Will Stop You from Sleeping in 2019
Act it out
Surreal horror Layers of Fear is getting a sequel in 2019, this time centring on a disturbed actor as opposed to an obsessed artist. Night of the Living Dead and Candyman star Tony Todd will narrate the title, which is once again being developed by Polish outfit Bloober Team and published by Friday the 13th: The Game’s Gun Media...
News Layers of Fear Dev Teasing New Game, Project Méliès
Scary movie
We rather liked Bloober Team's trippy horror game Layers of Fear, but we were less taken with its cyberpunk follow-up, Observer. At the very least, the developer comes up with some interesting settings and narratives for its creepy titles, and its next game looks to continue that trend. Project Méliès is a working title for the...
News Friday the 13th: The Game Slashes All Future Content

A few weeks ago, Friday the 13th: The Game developer Gun Media announced that it was involved in a copyright lawsuit between the director of the original Friday the 13th movie, Sean Cunningham, and the film's writer, Victor Miller. Since the lawsuit is ongoing, no new Friday the 13th products can be...

Review Speakeasy (PlayStation 4)
Don't lose your head
Speakeasy is what happens when you take a great idea, strip it of all but the very bare essentials necessary for it to work, and then release it at about ten times its worth and hope that people buy it based on the premise alone. If it were free-to-play, you’d feel ripped off. This game isn’t just bad, it’s insultingly...
