The Blockbuster from hell: Rewind or Die

Have you ever wanted to work at a local video store (complete with spicy section) while out running a bloodthirsty serial killer? The Rewind or Die is the game for you! This game was launched in April 2023 and is currently available for $11.99 is developed by comp3-interactive and published by Torture star video. It took me about 4 + hours to complete.  Rewind or Die features PSX retro style graphics, full voice acting and a killer soundtrack that would make the metal gods gleeful. The style of the graphics took me back to a better time, when I only had to focus on beating a game and not the existential dread of being an adult and paying bills. Visually it was fantastic and really captured the late 90s aesthetic, color themes and overall tone, most of the time I prefer a more basic graphic style and I love more of the focus on the story.

HorrorStory: Hallowseed the beggining of a new world of fear!

  HorrorStory: Hallowseed is an atmospheric first person psychological horror walking sim with deeply rooted lore. It was developed by Jeff Winner, published by Fulqrum Publishing the game retails for $19.99 as of the release of this review and was published in October 2021. I did purchase the game during a steam sale. It took me about 4hrs and 30 min to complete with both endings.  When I started to playing HSH, I was blown away by how beautiful the atmosphere was, it was truly breathtaking. From the texture of the trees in the forests, to the dark, dirty and dilapidate visuals of the house set the dev did a fantastic job, I have absolutely NO issues with the atmosphere that was set for me. Now the sound design, was top notch. I had in ear buds, so all of the sound went directly into my ears and oh my lord, was it haunting. The sounds that got me the most, is when the female demon was singing i felt uncomfortable and disturbed and I loved every second of it. The other thing I would li
